The bar staff threw them out.

“A group of individuals visited Chatterbox and intentionally misgendered and harassed a Chatterbox employee, resulting in them being asked to leave by our staff,” bar management posted to Instagram over the weekend. “They then continued verbally assaulting patrons and staff, threatened our establishment, and returned to record a video which has now been posted on multiple social media platforms.”

The video was recorded and posted to Facebook by Indianapolis resident Elise Hensley, who told News 8 that she’d visited the popular jazz bar several times, but this time, she and her friends wore MAGA hats.

In Hensley’s telling, “We went up to the bar and before we could even get a word out or order a drink, he just looked at me and said, ‘No,’” Hensley said. “I said, ‘Excuse me?’ He said, ‘Absolutely not.’ He said, ‘Your hat. You need to leave right now.’”

After getting ejected, Hensley returned, phone in hand, to confront the bar’s employees.
