A Texas judge found that the Biden administration discriminates against certain Americans with its rules about the distribution of pandemic relief to restaurants.
The rules: The Restaurant Revitalization Fund is part of Biden’s $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill that Congress passed in March. It aims to help restaurants across the U.S. stay afloat after pandemic-related measures caused them to lose substantial revenue.
However, the program, which designates $28.6 billion for restaurant owners, prioritizes applications from businesses owned by women, racial minorities, veterans, and other “socially and economically disadvantaged.” Specifically, the Small Business Administration spends the first 21 days looking only at applicants from these categories before adding others to the pool.
The lawsuit: Philip Greer, a white male restaurant owner, filed a lawsuit against the SBA’s administrator Isabella Guzman, alleging violations of the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. He said his restaurant, Greer’s Ranch Café, lost nearly $100,000 in revenue during the coronavirus pandemic.
“The Small Business Administration lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon their race and sex. This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop,” his lawsuit says.

Nothing says unity more than putting others ahead based on race and gender.
