text: Enough is enough. Americans need to start making business owners and their employees pay up for discriminating against them simply because they dare to show their support for our President. Good for this Trump supporter for fighting back against the intolerant left. A lot of Americans would be happy to contribute to his legal defense Bartenders at a West Village hot spot served up discrimination   with a liberal twist   refusing to serve a customer because he was wearing a  Make America Great Again  hat, according to a lawsuit.Greg Piatek, 30, an accountant from Philadelphia, claims he was snubbed and eventually 86 d by workers at The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street over his conservative fashion statement, popularized by Donald Trump on the campaign trail, he told The Post. Anyone who supports Trump   or believes what you believe   is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won t serve you!  Piatek claims he was told as he was shown the door by a manager.The shake-up started when Piatek and two pals, after a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, ordered drinks at the posh tavern around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28.A female bartender served Piatek a $15 jalape o margarita and his pals beers. But when he tried to order a second round, a male bartender noticed his hat   and skipped them, he said.One of Piatek s pals pointed out it was their turn to be served, but the bartender scoffed.  Is that hat a joke?  the Manhattan Supreme Court suit claims. Ignoring me because I m wearing the hat is ridiculous,  Piatek said.  It s really sad. The  flustered  bartender got them a second round but allegedly  slammed the drinks down. A third bartender also asked Piatek if his lid was a joke and shouted,  I can t believe you would support someone so terrible and you must be as terrible a person!  Piatek claimed. I wasn t even trying to order a drink and she said,  Don t even try to order from me. I won t get you a drink,  Piatek alleged.A manager said he spoke to the bar owner, and was told,  Anyone who supports Trump or believes what you believe is not welcome here. And you need to leave right now because we won t serve you!  according to the suit.
