Speaking to the The Richmond Times-Dispatch Saturday, Black Swan Books owner Nick Cooke said that the woman had called Bannon a piece of trash.
Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked her to leave, and she wouldnt. And I said, Im going to call the police if you dont, and I went to call the police and she left, Cooke said. And thats the end of the story.
Bannon is the latest former or current member of the Trump administration have been confronted by members of the public and activists.

(2,120 posts)I'm no fan of Steve Bannon. I'm glad that a customer
let him know what she thought of him. But to keep at it,
creating a scene in a bookstore, and not stopping or leaving
when asked to by the owner, is going too far. It's a bookstore,
like a library, a place that to me is almost sacred. It's unlikely
but maybe he was browsing in a section where a book might
open his eyes and change him for the better. I know, he was probably
looking for a fresh copy of "Mein Kampf", but really we must
keep hope alive.

(28,270 posts)The bookstore owner? He calls the police on her. Says everything you need to know about this place doesn't it?
I hope protesters fill the doorway to this place for the next six weeks at least.
