He actively promoted a conspiracy that Paul Pelosi was attacked by a gay prostitute. (While Pelosi was still in the hospital recovering from serious injuries.) Why should he expect sympathy now?

As reprehensible as it is, legally they absolutely are. Remember how country clubs didn't / still don't allow woman, african americans or jews? Common carriers (stores, hotels, etc) are treated differently, and is very much
