“Crumb And Get It” Business Owner to Biden Visit: You’re Not Invited
This is hilarious… glad to see a small business owner stick to his principles.When the Biden advance team asked Chris McMurray if the Vice President could visit his cookie shop, he flatly refused! Here’s why:
“Very simply, ‘you didn’t build that’” McMurray said. “Speaking of small businesses and entrepreneurs all across this country and actually last night my wife was up all night. No sleep, she’s worked a full 24 hours.”
When “Crumb and Get It” said ‘no’, “River City Grill,” just around the corner, said ‘yes’ and has the pictures to prove it, and didn’t care about the politics.
C’mon! You gotta give it up to the guy! He could have gotten lots of press from the Biden visit, but instead took a stand for business!
Here’s the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people ‘no’ — the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.

Gonna have to organize a “Crumb and Get It” Appreciation Day. Seriously, every time someone does something like this, reward him or her with revenues beyond the dreams of avarice.

If he can swing it this young man should look into shipping his yummy confections. I’m sure he’d find many across the country anxious to put in an order or two.

The Secret Service bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes, good for them. Obama didn’t build that!

The pendulum is beginning to swing from the extreme left back to the right. You dont want to be in the way of this movement.

I have never been to this business. However, I will send them some money to show my support.

I gotta believe there are many in Obozo’s employ that are sick of him. Should make a juicy tell all book down the road.

Can you imagine being a Secret Service agent and having to take a bullet for someone you can’t stand?

Time to flush out another Secret Service group and reestablish the Praetorian Guard.

I think everyone would pay good $ to see the Secret Service go all gangsta on Obama.

Chick-Fil-A should make Crumb And Get It their cookie supplier.

And if you or someone you know is near Radford, Virginia, make sure to drop by and buy a cookie for America! They’re located at 1154 East Main Street, Radford, VA.
I’m going to find out if they ship.

It never fails. When you stand up against the bully, you see just how vulnerable he really is and the other kids are empowered by your actions.
Good for you Crumb and Get It! And I agree with Crusty B – make them the cookie supplier to Chick-fil-A.

@Mr. Pinko–as of this morning they don’t ship. Maybe with all the interest they will start!

Well, maybe the Secret Service is just going to use the cookies as treats to entice the hookers in Charlotte.

I understand they ran out of everything early in the day–their FaceBook page is flooded with compliments and encouragement!
