Pennsylvania Republican state Representative Aaron Bernstine attempted to criticize Noodles & Co., which had a gender neutral bathroom in its establishment.

Bernstine posted to Facebook with staunch criticism of the noodle chain.

But folks were not ready to take any sort of parenting advice from Bernstine.

The Pennsylvania Republican actually had fellow GOP lawmakers call on him to resign last year after photos showed his underage child smoking a cigar with apparent permission from his father.

Bernstine failed to get the support he sought with his post.

The CFO of Noodles & Co., Carl Lukach, is a gay married man with children.

He responded to Bernstine's comments.

"We welcome team members and guests from all walks of life...so I feel like this is a very unique core competency of the business, and quite frankly, a driver for talent."

The GOP agenda in Pennsylvania over the past year has focused on fighting against education on racism in the United States and "election fraud," meanwhile ignoring or trying to undermine pandemic protocols.

So it is not outside the realm of expectation Bernstine would attempt to make a big deal out of a normal bathroom in a fast-casual chain restaurant.

Almost everyone's home bathroom is gender neutral, after all.

In a post-pandemic economy, it seems more pertinent politicians focus on the quality of life for their constituents rather than who gets to pee where.

Republican President Donald Trump's administration continues to downplay concerns after The Atlantic'seditor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was mistakenly added to the Signal messaging app's group chat in which U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared with top intelligence officials the specific weapons programs regarding the U.S. war strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

People Share Their Most Embarrassing Small Town Stories

I lived most of my life in a very small town in Northern Maine. There were about 200 kids in my high school and there were 56 kids in my graduating class—we were tied with the class of 1961 for the largest class ever.

When the primary employer in town—Pinkham Lumber Mill—shut down, the town got even smaller. Now the senior class is considered large if it reaches double digits.
