Houston restaurant and pizzeria rolls out Ted Cruz's red carpet after senator's heckle in Washington

A Houston restaurant has replaced its banner under the slogan "Ted Cruz, you can eat here," after the Texas senator was heckled at a restaurant in Washington, D.C.

George and René Reed, owners of George's Pastaria in West Houston, said they "welcomed everyone" in their restaurant, regardless of their political status. "We never allowed [heckling] to arrive here ", René, according to KHOU11.

Rene said it was just another example of how medium politics has become. "It has become juvenile, tantrums. People can not allow others to express their own opinions if they are uncomfortable. In the restaurant, we have a motto that says, "Be kind or leave." If you are kind, we welcome you and we welcome you as guests and, hopefully, almost as friends of the family. "

Following the protest, the owners of Fiola claimed to have received death threats.
