The Washington Post instructs us to 'Let the Trump team eat in peace,' but people are not having it

The Washington Post has jumped to the defense of Sarah Sanders a day after the press secretary was refused service at a restaurant.

The piece, titled "Let the Trump team eat in peace," was written by the paper's editorial board. In it they argue that Sanders, Kirstjen Nielsen, and Stephen Miller -- all public faces of the administrations widely condemned immigration policy -- should be left alone and "allowed to eat dinner in peace." It's an odd stance for this moment in history, and naturally it has a lot of people really riled up.

While the Post's board acknowledges that readers "will get no argument from us regarding Mr. Trump’s border policy," they do argue against what they see as the incivility of interrupting someone's meal.

"How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?," the piece asks.

As many on Twitter were quick to pointed, this question conveniently ignores the murder of pro-choice advocate George Tiller and the countless attacks Planned Parenthood facilities and patients have encountered over the years.

The New York Times also tackled this issue in an article several days ago, which examined the political rage brewing on either side of party lines and the lack of civility from citizens (despite a clear imbalance of power between those who work in the administration and those who do not). That piece had already stirred a lot of anger, and the Post's opinion piece on Sunday has only further inflamed those who are in favor of publicly confronting White House staffers.

Tired: politeness. Wired: yelling at Trump officials in restaurants.
