Employee Of Beuchert’s Saloon Fired Over Comments

Here we go again, folks. Another case of the self-righteous Left overstepping the boundaries of professionalism and common decency, and this time it’s cost someone their job.

Suzannah Van Rooy, a server at Beuchert’s Saloon on Capitol Hill, thought it wise to go public in a Washingtonian magazine interview, proudly announcing she wouldn’t serve Trump administration officials because their “moral convictions” conflicted with hers.

The fallout was swift and decisive. Beuchert’s Saloon, the neighborhood restaurant where Van Rooy worked, condemned her comments as “reprehensible” and “unforgivable.” They wasted no time severing ties with her, making it clear that her views did not align with their zero-tolerance policy on discrimination. And rightly so.

Van Rooy’s remarks reek of the kind of double standard that has become all too common in today’s political climate. Claiming she wouldn’t serve anyone she deemed a “sex trafficker” or someone trying to deport millions, she framed her prejudice as a moral stance.

Let’s be clear: the ability to demonize those with opposing political views doesn’t make you morally superior. It makes you intolerant.

The idea that someone in the service industry—a role inherently about professionalism and neutrality—would openly brag about refusing service to individuals based on their political affiliations is absurd. And the irony? The same crowd that applauds this behavior would be the first to cry foul if the roles were reversed.

Beuchert’s Saloon deserves credit for swiftly addressing the situation. Their statements were firm, unapologetic, and necessary.

Not only did they call out Van Rooy’s comments as hostile and inappropriate, but they also revealed she took her defiance a step further by accessing the restaurant’s social media accounts without authorization to post inflammatory responses. This wasn’t just a lapse in judgment—it was a calculated act of insubordination and arrogance.

The restaurant’s decision to fire Van Rooy wasn’t just about protecting their reputation; it was about standing up for their staff and patrons, many of whom were personally offended by her actions. Beuchert’s made it clear: prejudice has no place in their establishment, no matter where it comes from.
