For now though, let's talk about
how a Senate candidate got
a restaurant worker in trouble.
A Republican Senate candidate from
Ohio got a restaurant worker
suspended after tweeting in support
of this worker after she decided to
show up to work while she was
sick and she was also maskless.
So the name of the candidate is
Josh Mandel,
there he is in the photo.
Let's also put up his tweet,
where he said that inside the five
is a cool brewery started by
two NFL vets,
great food and spirited waitresses.
Even though Brianne was saying sick
today she came to work because she
knew they were short servers.
So that's not a good thing, these
are the type of American workers
that make our country strong.
By the way, we're talking about
an individual who hasn't really
taken Coronavirus very seriously.
In fact, he brags about the fact
that he doesn't take it seriously.
Here's a video of himself awkwardly
burning a mask.
There he is.
What a cool guy.
Don't hurt yourself.
And, I mean, throws it onto
the ground and walks away,
luckily no one got hurt.
[LAUGH] Nothing caught on fire, but
he's a clown.
And if you look at
his website you get
a little sense of what he is into.
He's a huge culture warrior,
pro-God, pro-gun,
pro-Trump so it's all there.
And by the way, as a result
of his actions in that tweet,
the worker was sent home,
she's been suspended.
The brewery has deleted its Twitter
and Facebook accounts because of
the backlash of an ill worker
showing up to work without a mask
as well.
And the brewery has been review
bombed on Yelp and such,
with people who are upset, >> But
now both sides are upset.
>> Yep. >> Because once they put
out the statement saying, it's not
our policy to have sick workers and
we told her to go home,
to take care of herself and
make sure nobody gets sick.
Then Conservatives lost it and
they were furious, they're like how
dare you not get us sick?
We're part of a death colt, don't
you know respect the death colt.
And Josh Mendel then got super mad
at the restaurant and he started
tweeting against a restaurant,
now they're not letting sick
workers sneeze all over your food.
You might not die if you go there.
What kind of a restaurant
does this?
These people are lunatics.
Josh Randell is also on American,
he has said a lot of insane things
but including that he said that
Ilhan Omar should be deported.
She's a member of Congress,
she's an American citizen,
why would she be deported?
Well, she's Muslim, so
Josh Mendel doesn't like that.
So he picks her as, I don't agree
with you plus you're black and
Muslim.
So I'm going to pretend you're
an American and I'm going to try to
deport you, even though you're a US
citizen, just like I am.
They're both equal citizens, but
Josh Mendel doesn't I think that
because he's a racist that big
a and he's deeply an American and
hates equality, hates justice and
hates logic and facts.
And what a dumbass burning a mask
in the middle of a pandemic, yeah,
black plague and the plague or
black death.
I don't care about that man,
smear the plague all over yourself,
I'm an idiot Josh Mendel
running for Senate, by the way
it might work, he's running against
JD Vance in the Republican primary.
And what they're trying to do is
out dumb one another.
>> Well, it's working.
>> Yeah, and so JD Vance made
a mistake five years ago,
he has some critical comments about
Trump, which made sense.
So, you're losing the dumb off JD.
>> Yeah.
>> You weren't dumb five years ago,
and now and Mendel keeps beating
him up off that.
He once questioned a dear leader?
I on the other hand will lick
the cheerleaders boots and
everything else he offers up to me
all day long because I don't
have independent thought.
And if I did,
I'd be even more dangerous.
>> I know. >> Josh Mendel for
senate >> Critical thinking for
Republican candidates at this point
is a liability, and honestly,
I'm bored by it.
There's no shortage of lunatics
to talk about on the right wing.
But I do want to just quickly
comment on is the culture of
rewarding people for
showing up sick to work.
So the restaurant claims like no,
we tell our workers like don't show
up if you're sick, it's awful.
But my husband worked in
the restaurant industry for a long
time and I remember when he was in
bed like bedridden super sick,
like couldn't even talk.
And he's like, I gotta go to work,
I gotta go to work,
I called his manager because he
couldn't even talk and
let her know he's not coming in.
And I specifically remember her
getting real salty with me, okay?
So no, no, that culture of you're
sick show up to work and
then like getting rewarded for
that, getting a pat on the back for
that, resist that.
As a worker, resist that,
that's garbage, it's not good for
you, it's not good for the people
that you're working with.
And it's certainly not good for
the clientele or the customers,
if you're working in the service
industry so push back against that,
that's nothing to be proud of.
>> So there's two extra layers of
unacceptable here because normally
if you're sick,
don't come in and work.
Because you're going to get other
people's thing that doesn't help
the company, that doesn't help you
co workers, that doesn't help you,
it doesn't help anyone.
It's counterproductive and
it makes no sense,
it's just this culture of greed,
where, no,
drive them back to the mines,
right?.
>> Totally. >> But now layer on top
of that she works with food, and
even if forget COVID in a normal
sick situation, she can get you
sick from the flu, everything
else as she's handling your food.
And layer on top of that COVID this
massive pandemic, and it's just
a recipe for disaster, so that's
why of course the Republican rushes
in and goes, I love disaster.
Let's get everybody sick, and
that's the current state of the
Republican Party and capitalism.
