The owner of the D.C. restaurant where protestors forced out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his wife earlier this week says that his staff and their families have received death threats.

"I am blessed to work with the staff who have handled the harassment and life-threatening messages we and our families have received in the wake of the event," Fabio Trabocchi wrote in a statement released Wednesday.

"They have shown remarkable grit and calm," he said. "It is scary to hear anger directed at you and those you love-- I am lucky to work with brave people who respect our work."

"In the past 24 hours, security and privacy consultants and investigators have implemented additional safety and security measures...across our restaurants to ensure the ongoing and future privacy, safety and security of our staff and guests," Trabocchi wrote.

1. The Restaurant Did Not Even Kick Them Out

They left willingly.

Not that that FACT means anything to these people phoning in death threats.

Too bad we don't have an FBI to investigate.

3. Spare me the theatrics,

4. The decent thing for Cruz to do

is to issue a statement telling people to knock this off.

But Cruz and decent just don't happen together.
