Elmhurst Business Rejects Biden Backers: Report

ELMHURST, IL — An Elmhurst business has a sign that says, "Biden supporters keep out!" And the owner told CBS 2 that he is willing to suffer the business consequences.

Shaun Thompson is the owner of Elmhurst Cigar House, 114 W. Park Ave. He defended the decision to post the sign.

“I don’t want them anyway. I don’t want them in there, and I don’t have to pretend that they have respect for me,” Thompson told CBS 2, “so I’m going to show disrespect for them.”

The sign was put up weeks ago following the November election.

Many of the posts on Thompson's Facebook page are focused on politics. In one, he said, "Facts are whatever Democrats say they are versus reality. (They) are a disgraceful deceitful fascistic Mafia and nothing more." He also endorsed a story that said global warming "is a complete hoax and scam."

Thompson's Facebook page says he attended St. Joseph High School in Westchester and is from Melrose Park. He now lives in Elmwood Park, according to his page.
