ok that headline is pretty awkwardly worded.  Maybe its just me but it almost reads like the restaurant banned the GOP candidate, *after* the GOP candidate informed the restaurant that his campaign stop was also an autism awareness event.

Just in case you don't click through, its the opposite - what happened was the GOP candidate told the restaurant the event was going to be an autism awareness event (apparently without even mentioning the republican candidate or his campaign), which they agreed to hold because the owner has autistic kids and also is presumably a good person, and when the candidate showed up any pretense of autism awareness was gone and it was simply a campaign stop/pro trump rally.  Profoundly scummy behavior but what else do you expect from these ghouls in the GOP
