Newsrooms are sanitizing that Ivanka harassment story

"If this had happened to Obama's daughter,these creeps would be in jail." Lucianne
Washington Examiner  . . . "We know about the alleged incident because one of the men tweeted about it in real-time, and JetBlue confirmed in a statement that there was indeed a "conflict" aboard one of its planes.

"But despite the airline's statement, and the fact that one of the men involved specifically used the word "harass," some headlines have sanitized the reported incident to the point where it's basically a story about nothing.

"Here is what Twitter user and Hunter College professor Matthew Lasner tweeted Thursday morning about his husband: "Ivanka and [her husband Jared Kushner] at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil.' " . . .









I had hoped those two guys were the only ones like that, but it looks like I was wrong:
Propane dealer who refused to sell to Trump supporters not licensed to sell propane, state says  "According to the Maine Fuel Board, Michael Turner, the owner of Turner LP Gas Service of Skowhegan, Maine, who refused to sell propane to supporters of President-elect Donald J. Trump, has not been licensed to sell propane for at least two years, the Portland Press Herald reported.
"According to the Press-Herald:

Michael Turner, who operates of Turner LP Gas Service on Canaan Road, left a message for would-be customers on his company’s voice mail, saying “If you voted for Donald Trump for president, I will no longer be delivering your gas. Please find someone else.” That message was left on a Friday, when the weather was bitterly cold. The message goes on to say that the cost of gas remains $110 a bottle, with payment due on delivery.
