Atlanta Bar Under Fire for Offensive Brett Kavanaugh Signage | Eater Atlanta

"Located on Howell Mill Road, this dive bar drew sharp criticism after posting an outdoor sign that read “Ruin UR Future Supreme Court Chances Here,” a reference to Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual-assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the congressional testimony; the message has since been removed. The wording marked a departure from the establishment’s typically dark-but-benign sign humor and was widely perceived on social media as insensitive, misogynistic, and dismissive of Ford and other victims, with many commenters calling it a “rape joke” and accusing the bar of promoting sexual assault. In response to the controversy, Yelp placed a cleanup alert on the business page, saying it would remove posts driven more by news coverage than real customer experiences, and local outlet Eater Atlanta reached out to the bar for comment." - Beth McKibben
