Hooters Doesn’t Want Anything To Do With San Diego Mayor Accused Of Sexual Harassment
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner will have to look elsewhere if he wants wings and a cold frosty beer: A downtown San Diego Hooters location has blacklisted the embattled mayor in the wake of sexual harassment accusations.
According to CNN, the location has joined forces with a local radio talk-show host’s campaign, and has posted signs noting that Filner “will not be served in this establishment” and “We believe women should be treated with respect.”
This isn’t a blackballing move by the entire company, however, according to a statement on the Hooters Twitter account:
The mayor hasn’t resigned amid allegations from numerous women that he groped and made lewd comments toward them. He’s now facing a recall effort to force him to leave his position.
