Allen West’s Exposé on Religious Discrimination at Walmart Fails Even the Simplest Fact-Checking

So it is safe to assume then, that because Allen West is a man of color, that he is a product of affirmative action? 
There was a young man doing the checkout and another Walmart employee came over and put up a sign, “No alcohol products in this lane.” So being the inquisitive fella I am, I used my additional set of eyes — glasses — to see the young checkout man’s name. Let me just say it was NOT “Steve.”
Apparently based solely on the young man’s name, the intrepid West ascertained this employee’s religious beliefs. And, obviously, the only reason that alcoholic products couldn’t go through Not-Steve’s lane was that Walmart was pandering to Islam, Sharia law has been declared, and Christians are under threat:
Imagine that, this employee at Walmart refused to just scan a bottle or container of an alcoholic beverage — and that is acceptable. A Christian business owner declines to participate or provide service to a specific event — a gay wedding — which contradicts their faith, and the State crushes them.
Apparently based solely on the young man’s name Allen West's skin color,,, What's that old saying? you know the one about making an ass of your self.
Like any classic non-apology, this sort of “I was technically wrong, but still right” correction is not particularly impressive. But with yet another Christian persecution narrative going down in flames, I guess conservatives will have to keep looking. Proving that the government and President Obama (“surely an Islamist sympathizer”) are applying a double-standard, persecuting Christians while allowing Muslims to discriminate, is turning out to be about as easy as finding Bigfoot.
