Lorna Steele, in a Facebook post Wednesday morning, asked New Haven residents to consider joining her 'in no longer funding his hate' by boycotting the restaurant's various locations

A number of Connecticut residents took to Facebook on Wednesday to announce their plan to boycott a regional pizza joint, Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, over a co-owner's apparent support for President Donald Trump.

By Wednesday evening local time, the post had been shared more than 180 times and had garnered over 160 comments, with some area residents agreeing with Steele's idea and others arguing that people should not boycott individual businesses based on the political views of an owner. "If Pepe's was treating their workers unfairly, yes boycott. Or, If Pepe's as s business hired a lobbyist to push for lax food safety laws, yes, boycott," the user wrote.

Trump mocks Tlaib's tears, says she 'grandstanded' over grandmother visitPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday mocked Rep. Rashida Tlaib's grief over her decision not to visit her grandmother in the West Bank after initially being barred by Israel, claiming the Democratic congresswoman 'grandstanded' when she shed tears Monday. When Trump called out the Squad for being anti-Israel they could have proved him wrong, instead they have doubled down. Tilab stated in a Tweet she was elected to help Palestine, not Americans. She has been non stop advocating for them for weeks. Not her constituents in Michigan. Israel granted her permission to visit her grandmother and Tlaib declined because of Israel’s preconditions that she not spread her anti-Israe BDS rhetoric during her stay. Why is it so hard for CNN to tell the truth. Have you guys ever considered posting real journalistic articles or you just gonna keep hating on trump while your ratings sink like the titanic? Just wondering. I never read this garbage but it continues to fill up my timeline. I treat it as spam
