The liberal Civility Nobility in action

Does Lord Littlethingy of the Civility Nobility approve of this?
Representatives for GOP Rep. Tom Reed's (N.Y.) campaign placed an electronic tracking device inside the lawmaker's campaign signs, which the team used to track down a sign stolen by a liberal activist.
The Ithaca Journal reported Wednesday that Reed campaign manager Nicholas Weinstein confronted the activist, Gary McCaslin, at his house after using the tracker to determine the sign's location.
McCaslin gave up the sign during the first visit, but Weinstein reportedly returned to the house after realizing that the tracker formerly in the sign had not been returned.
"I can't believe this, Nick. You tracked this sign to my house?" McCaslin says in the video posted by Reed's campaign. "Is Tom Reed that desperate that he has to put little things like that inside of a sign and track it?"
"You found the sign, I'm keeping the tracker — you call the police," he added to Weinstein.
McCaslin was charged with petit larceny for the sign's theft.
"There is no factual predicate to show that Gary McGaslin committed a crime," his lawyer, Christina Sonsire, said. "We feel strongly that there was no criminal wrongdoing. This shines a light into just how inappropriate the political climate has become."
Weinstein told the Journal, “It is no surprise that our opponents are resorting to stealing our signs. They know just how far out of touch they are from values the majority of us care about and are willing to go to criminal lengths to try and hide their 'Extreme Liberal' agenda from the public.”
Reed is running for reelection this year in New York's 23rd Congressional District against Democratic challenger Tracy Mitrano. He previously won reelection in 2016 over John Plumb (D), winning 57 percent of the vote to Plumb's 42 percent.

Would saintly Lord Littlethingy approve?
IS UBER RACIST?
Several interns on Capitol Hill for a program geared toward young Black Republicans reported that an Uber driver refused to give them a ride together in Washington this week because two of them were carrying pro-Trump “Make America Great Again” hats.
The incident unfolded when they piled into an Uber to head to a monthly gathering of supporters of the president at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.
The driver picked them up at George Washington University. But after the driver asked them about the famous pro-Trump red hats, he told the interns he couldn't give them a ride.
The interns, who have been working for Republican lawmakers this summer, were forced to get out of the Uber car.
Uber did not immediately return a request for comment.
