The Cheesecake Factory has suspended workers following an incident in which a customer says he was harassed by roughly a dozen employees for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
Conservative news website The Daily Wirereportsthat a 22-year-old named Eugenior Joseph was targeted by Cheesecake Factory employees for wearing a MAGA hat. According to The Daily Wire, roughly a dozen workers at a Miami, Florida location approached Joseph, who was dining with his girlfriend's family, and began making comments about the hat.
"All the employees started standing there, saying things out loud, like, 'I'm going to knock his head in so hard his hat's going to come off," a witness told The Daily Wire.
Joseph told the publication: "He got behind me and another coworker came by and they were staring at each other and he fist bumped him and then he started looking at me, balling his fists, smacking his fists, trying to scare me."
The Daily Wire reported that employees also yelled at and booed Joseph when he walked to the bathroom. The incident was so upsetting, one witness said, that an "elderly woman who was present had to take medication to calm herself down."
The incident sparked backlash on social media.

Think Cheescake Factory will close all their stores for a day of race sensitivity training for EVERY EMPLOYEE at a cost of $16 million like Starbucks? Using the left’s warped logic, the fact that he’s a @realDonaldTrump supporter negates his blackness. https://apple.news/A24UhaR9TT-a2q7crQJboZQ …
