California Bakers Refuse To Bake A Pro-Trump Cake For 9 Year-Old’s Party

So, we are obligated to bake cakes[1] for gay couples, but they can refuse to make a Trump cake for a nine year-old boy? Does that not seem selective to you? Little Dylan Harbin, aka Pickle, first got noticed when he wrote a letter to President Trump that Sarah Huckabee Sanders read at a press briefing. He’s a big fan of Trump’s and wanted a Trump cake for his birthday party. His mom went to numerous bakers in California and they all turned her down. She wound up having to make the cake herself.

I bet if Dylan had been transgender and wanted a rainbow cake, they would have lined up around the block. Bill Maher even stooped so low as to make fun of the child’s spelling. What an evil troll that man is. CEO and general counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom, Michael P. Farris took notice of the case. He is currently representing baker Jack Phillips, who was forced to attend “re-education” training after refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding. “So, should these bakers be forced to design and create a Trump cake?” wrote Farris in a blog post[2] about the situation. That’s certainly the question here, isn’t it?

From TheBlaze[4]:

Nine-year-old Dylan Harbin, aka “Pickle,” is such a big fan of President Donald Trump that his mother SueAnn tried to get him a Trump cake for his birthday. However, according to the Washington Post[5], bakeries in the Harbins’ home state of California have refused to make the cake, forcing the mother to bake the cake herself.

Harbin recently got the media’s attention when press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read his fan letter — in which he volunteered to mow the White House lawn —  to President Donald Trump to the media on July 26. Bill Maher recently made fun of the child’s letter[6] on his HBO show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” mocking the boy’s spelling errors.

The Washington Post found Dylan after the White House released his letter to the public, and interviewed the family.

According to the Washington Post, SueAnn said that her son’s sudden love of Trump took her by surprise, because she herself is not very political. For his 9th birthday, Dylan wanted a Trump cake that looked like a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Bakeries should have the right to refuse service to anyone they see fit. But it shouldn’t be one-sided. You can’t force them to bake cakes for gays and not for Trump supporters. It’s either all or nothing. Personally, under the Constitution, I believe they should have the right to bake or not bake cakes as they see fit. But I feel that Pickle was slighted here. It is after all, commie California. Perhaps his family should move to a saner state. Just sayin’.

This shows blatant favoritism and hypocrisy on the left. It’s the same sort of thing as bakers who won’t do pro-police, pro-military, Christian or pro-gun cakes. They get a pass for that. The left wants to force everyone into their way of thinking, but won’t tolerate anyone who feels differently. That’s fascist. As John Nolte correctly pointed out at The Daily Wire: “The idea that in the United States of America that we would force anyone, be it anti-Trump business owners or Christian business owners, to violate their personal conscience, to engage in work they choose not to for whatever reason, is un-American.” So, by all means, turn customers away if you feel strongly about something. But don’t turn around and force other bakers to do something they are against as well. Putting up a sign that declares “Open For Business” does not inherently strip you of your human rights.

I also agree with Nolte on this… Pickle’s mom should sue every baker that turned her away. Force them to take a taste of their own poison and maybe this insanity will stop. I hope Pickle had a great birthday regardless and his mom did a great job on the cake. So much stupidity over a little boy’s birthday party. Geez.
