Walker supporters and former Rox Bar patrons have swarmed the Rox Bar's Facebook page to express their outrage. We await comment from the bar's owner.
For those outside of the area: the bar is in Waukesha County, near the hometown of Governor Scott Walker.

The shirt, a favorite among Walker supporters, can be purchased online at B&D Embroidery.
UPDATE: The bar has posted an apology on Facebook. (Spoiler alert: It's lame. Also, it's not an apology.) Click (below) to read the non-apology apology and read updates about this developing incident.

| As the owners of the Rox Bar & Grille, we are quite sensitive to the fact that Wisconsin is a place where political passion runs high. We respect the rights of our patrons to believe and discuss what they choose. We do ask, however, that they do not advertise these political beliefs in any form (including distributing pamphlets or wearing politically affiliated clothing). We are neither pro-recall nor pro-Walker. We are an establishment that is trying to provide our patrons with an enjoyable, safe, adult environment. Dennis Hronis, and Peter Hronis - Owners |
UPDATE: Here are pictures showing no indications that the Rox Bar has a "No Political T-Shirts" policy. They warn that you must be 21 to enter and that no guns are allowed, but nothing else.

Update: On the Charlie Sykes radio show, a former waitress called in and said that she was never aware of a "no political shirts" policy.
Update: Rox Bar Apologizes... Sort of.
Also, a few more pictures (with awesome glare). (There is a short video of the entrance way at the above link.)

If they care about the safety of their patrons, it's the liberals they want out!
ReplyDeleteTheir arms policy alone would deny them my business. The additional policy of interfering with freedom of expression, a long standing tradition in taverns across our land, is further proof that they aren't interested in remaining in business.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't feel free to relax at a bar, why bother going in?
They "asked you NOT TO COME BACK",then said"it's NOT their policy".SO WHICH IS IT??Not their policy or DON'T COME BACK".So they are Socialist Liars.!!! Last time i checked discrimination was Illegal.
