Bill Radke looks at the controversy over the restaurant that asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave. We also talk about the commercialization of Seattle's Pride Parade. Should the event go back to its political roots?

We're joined by David Meinert, owner and operator of several restaurants and bars in Seattle including the 5 Point Cafe, and Naomi Ishisaka, journalist and photographer. Mike Pesca, host of Slate's podcast The Gist, also weighs in.
