Fox News host Bill Hemmer said Monday that he had walked out of a restaurant in New York City after employees asked to see a photo ID along with his COVID-19 vaccination card.
“I popped into a restaurant three weeks ago,†he said during a segment on the city requiring proof of vaccination for many indoor activities, including dining. “I said, ‘I don’t have my vaccination card, but I do have an app,’ so I downloaded that and I showed it to them. And they said, ‘Sir, can we see something with your name on it?’â€Â
Hemmer said he took out a couple of credit cards, but was asked for something with his photo on it.Â
Co-host Dana Perino asked Hemmer if he showed his Fox News badge. He didn’t say why he didn’t show that or a drivers license.Â
“I turned around and walked out,†Hemmer said. “You guys can have it. Good luck. The joint was empty.â€
