A Portland woman quit her job after attending a company holiday party where she says employees lynched a Trump piñata.
Sarah Mykkanen's quit over a holiday party for Roscoe's, Stein Haus, and Miyamoto Sushi, three Montavilla spots with overlapping ownership.

Striking a piñata, to break it open and allow goodies to fall out, is an old Latin American custom (which originated in China, was imported into Europe, and later was brought to the Americas by the Spanish). Lynching one, however, as far as I know, is not. On the other hand, lynching an American president in effigy is nothing new. Just ask George W. Bush and Barrack Obama. But as for the Trump piñata, read the full story.
