We are seeing an escalation of internet, verbal, and even physical attacks on current and former members of the Trump Administration. This escalation has been encouraged and promoted by celebrities, Maxine Waters, and far too many others on the Left. The latest involved Steve Bannon.
A bookstore owner in Richmond said he called the police after a woman confronted Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist for President Donald Trump, in his shop Saturday.
Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books on West Main Street in the Fan District, said Bannon was in the bookstore Saturday afternoon and that a woman confronted him, calling him a “piece of trash.”
Cooke said he called 911 and that the woman left as he made the call.
“Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked her to leave, and she wouldn’t. And I said, ‘I’m going to call the police if you don’t,’ and I went to call the police and she left,” Cooke said. “And that’s the end of the story.”
It absolutely SHOULD’VE been the end of the story. But it wasn’t. Here was a guy, no longer with the Trump Administration, minding his own business when some absolutely rude leftist decided to verbally harass him in the middle of a business. The business owner had every right to tell her to stop and ask her to leave.
Phillippe Reines, former Hillary Clinton aide, thought otherwise and he tossed this up on Twitter:
A woman saw Steve Bannon in a VA book store. She took the opportunity to call him a “piece of trash.”
Nick Cooke, the owner of Black Swan Books, called the police.

Unfortunately, far too many idiots and leftists think what he did was A-OK.
Black Swan Books was one of my favorite local, independent bookstores … until they defended Steve Bannon and turned the store into a safe space for white nationalists. Bad move, Black Swan. You are now blacklisted. pic.twitter.com/hy5WHbx5Ox

It’s not. It doesn’t matter that the bookstore’s contact information is on their website. What DOES matter is that Reines would rather have had Cooke call the cops on Bannon instead of the rude leftist shrill harpy who, in her attack on Bannon, disturbed the shopping experience of the others in the store.
Nick Cooke published this on the front page of the bookstore’s website:
Remember when Maxine Waters encouraged anti-Trumpers to go after anyone and everyone in the Trump Administration?
Not long after that, a guy accosted a teenager who was wearing a MAGA hat.
Then we have so-called “peaceful” protestors going after Senator McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is driven from a restaurant by the owner. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is driven from a Mexican restaurant in D.C. by an angry mob.
What do they ALL have in common? The Democrat Left.
Yet good ole Phillippe wants us to know that he wasn’t really ummm, you know, calling for the Black Swan bookstore to be harassed and stuff. Nope, you see, because their contact information is readily available, it’s ok to publish and it won’t be his fault if the angry mob shuts the business down.
The Daily Caller “produces sensational headlines, has a Right Wing bias in reporting, and has made false claims according to Snopes & Politifact” has a creepy preoccupation w/me.
They asked about my Black Swan Tweet. In case they censor me, here’s the entirety of my reply. pic.twitter.com/vbbKZdrgfw

I’m providing a service to the public by providing the contact information the bookstore posted on their website – presumably with the hope of being contacted. I presented facts w/o encouraging any behavior.
I’d point out through it’s possible this woman stopped a book burning. pic.twitter.com/ofDi2aA3tM

It’s incredibly obvious that Reines is a fan of whomever that woman is. It’s also incredibly obvious that Reines believes the Black Swan owner went after the wrong person.

Exactly. The Democrat lefties want anyone and everyone who is on the Right, or has had anything to do past or current with the Trump Administration, to be harassed and driven from the public view in any way possible.
Don’t give me that crap about providing a public service. A woman didn’t peacefully go to Bannon and quietly say, “you’re a piece of trash.” Instead she created a major scene. But that doesn’t matter to Phillippe. Not all all. Reines wanted the mob to go after Nick Cooke and they are.
Phillippe Reines has every right to be a flaming jerk. He doesn’t have to like Steve Bannon, and he can disagree with how the Black Swan handled the situation. But what he SHOULDN’T have done is encourage the mob.
A true public service would have been someone preventing Phillippe Reines’ parents from procreating. Hundreds of thousands of spermatozoa, and that one got through. Waste of a perfectly good egg.
Not too late for him to have a post birth abortion.
Reines is a POS, and the store owner did the right thing. That being said, once again, it’s amusing to see the left eat their own! Based on the post Mr. Cooke put up, he’s more left wing than not (though you don’t have to be left wing to disagree with Bannon), and would more likely than not be an ally to Reines, at least until he proved hmself to be a crap-weasel… so I’ll just go back to giggling.. hehe
I’d point out through it’s possible this woman stopped a book burning.
And this makes obvious that you are absolutely full of s#!^.
I sent the bookstore a note (based on their contact page) saying thank you for being normal. I might even look up the place if I’m in Richmond.
Well, before the dark times begin, anyway. With all the lynchings and cross-burnings and zombie NAZIs around I’ll probably have to stay south of the river.
Too bad so sad useless idiot lame ass hivemind group think brownshirt followers of the most worthless failure of a political ideology ever and curse upon mankind but business will now be booming at the Black Swan.
Maybe these leftists are so bitter because they know what a steaming pile they are.
Nick Cooke, another #walkaway.
and he can disagree with how the Black Swan handled the situation.
I scarcely see how!
In my humble opinion Mr. Reines is in need of an attitude adjustment courtesy of the ladies and gentlemen of 4chan.
I would suggest a simple response to such actions. Search for and publish the transgressors home address, phone number and email and let the public do the rest. I think that outings such as this would soon stop
This is precisely why Sam Adams formed a group[ called the Sons of Liberty. Because “civility” only goes so far, and then it’s time for hot tar and feathers.
So, here’s what starts happening: Leftists continue to accost, assault and insult women related in some way to something they don’t like until the men with these women decide to handle it.
Because, as Will said, we could just go out to the parking lot and settle that now.
He is a disgusting creep, I have no idea why Fox hosts this Dorothy?
I guess good ole phil won’t be visiting the Fox studios anytime soon.
1. This occurred in a left-friendly venue.
2. The store owner is being punished by the far left for not joining (or forming) a howling lynch mob. He really had no choice but to behave according to the law and decency.
3. An evil person would take advantage of this to push a wedge between liberals and leftists, encouraging #walkway
