Well, firstly from the testimony of the business owner they weren't kicked out, they were informed that they were not welcome back after they finished their meal. Which is, frankly, more decency than I would have afforded them.Is the loudness the issue or the expression of specific views?
Let's say he hadn't been loud in that situation, but the restaurant staff somehow still knew about his beliefs. Should he have been kicked out based on his politics?
But it could be both, or it could be just one or the other. Certainly bigotry is more pressing than noise, but it is entirely up to staff or management discretion. It's their legal right as a private business. The bigger issue here is the hypocrisy of it. Conservatives will literally go to war over a Conservative business owners right to refuse service, and the "snowflake liberals" can just deal with it because America and Freedom and Constitution. Liberals and Leftists also know which areas to avoid - we don't go to the skinhead bar across the tracks and then **** and moan about getting kicked out or physically assaulted for our politics.
But then a Conservative gets kicked out of a restaurant for being sexist or misogynistic or racist, and they scream and wail about their rights being violated. The same rights that they're a-okay with minorities getting violated, and the same business practices that they're perfectly fine with when it "sticks it to the libs".
I'd be very interested to see just what this Fox pundit said specifically, but regardless it is the owners right to refuse service to anyone. It could be for any number of reasons, even that they just plain don't like them; the business is not required to service anyone.
