A man wearing a stained apron and standing in front of Villa Vito Ristorante in New Hope, Pennsylvania, was filmed yelling insults about liberals in a video that has since gone viral. The man’s loud outburst, which included several profanities, stunned onlookers at the “No Kings” protest and quickly drew backlash online after being shared on TikTok.
The clip shows the man standing on the restaurant’s front steps, angrily shouting and gesturing toward protesters walking by. “Take a picture! I got two fingers for you liberals!” he yelled, raising both hands to flash rude gestures. Then, cupping his hands around his mouth, he shouted again, “I’m gonna make you a nice [expletive] you pie!”
The person filming asked if the restaurant belonged to him, to which the man sarcastically replied, “No, I invaded this place,” before adding, “I don’t even like these people.” Another employee, who had been laughing at the situation, later joined him at the top of the stairs as he continued to shout and taunt, and urged the person filming to move along.
The TikToker calmly told the angry worker to “smile for everybody on TikTok” because he would be uploading the footage on the platform. The man, undeterred, yelled that liberals couldn’t stop him, all while standing beneath a sign bearing the restaurant’s name and a “Help Wanted” notice advertising for cooks, bartenders, and servers.
Public Reaction to the New Hope Restaurant Worker’s Outburst
The video’s comment section was filled with netizens condemning the man’s behavior. “I won’t be eating there any time soon,” one person wrote, while another said, “Will never eat there!! I’ll make sure to spread the word.” A third quipped, “Trump supporters are always so classy.”
Some pointed out the irony of the restaurant’s visible sign seeking workers. “That’s why he has the help wanted sign. No one wants to work for him,” someone remarked. A different netizen echoed, “Meanwhile, there’s their phone number asking for people to work for them.”
Others felt that his lack of restraint in holding his tongue could cost him his business. “He could have stayed quiet but now he’s going to be out of business,” one comment read. Another added, “Why on earth would he do this in front of his business 😭.” “There goes his business down the drain,” a viewer commented.
