Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson said she was actually home when she got a phone call informing her that Sanders had walked into her small, farm-to-table restaurant.
“[The chef] said the staff is a little concerned. What should we do?” Wilkinson told WaPo. “I said I’d be down to see if it’s true.”
Wilkinson also said she had her doubts that Sanders would actually be in a restaurant in her small, rural town but once arriving, she confirmed it was true and Sanders was indeed seated at a group table with other adults.
She then huddled with the staff, many who took issue with the White House on a number of issues and some who are gay, and asked them if they thought Sanders should go.
They did, so she asked Sanders to accompany her to the patio.
“I was babbling a little, but I got my point across in a polite and direct fashion,” Wilkinson said. “I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation…I said, ‘I’d like to ask you to leave.’ ”
“Absolutely, yes, I would have done the same thing again,” the Red Hen owner said. “We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.”

So far I've only drawn the line with working for Hollywood or the US gov't. Neither is worth the trouble. I'll bake you a cake. It won't be a very good one because I've never baked one before, and it will cost you a lot of money, but if you are okay with that, I'll bake you a cake.
A thousand people should surround this b**chs pathetic little hole and prevent anyone from going there.
She should endure the same treatment that they do to us: harass, intimidate, shout down.
Smug, self righteous garbage who claims she “owns” the land and the building.
According to who? The people she hates?
Deprive her of her land, her business and her citizenship and tell her she’s not part of “us”.
If Sanders was black, the FBI would have been involved.
What a dumb cluck!

Meryl Streep, sounds like an STD. What I wouldn’t give to b*tch slap the smug sh!t eating smirk off her botox laced face.
Jest for the record, Imagine if Obama’s press secretary was denied service at a restaurant? The Left would have descended on it, and burned it to the ground. Because that is what real Fascists like the Left do
She said a lot if her staff is gay, so I’d say you’re right.
Bttt
Hard to believe that she’s a lib. . . I think you know what I mean.
“Leave my restaurant...and bake my gay friend a wedding cake, too.”
Hard to believe that she’s a lib. . . I think you know what I mean.
Agree 100%. Let her refuse service to whom ever she likes. Word will get out and she’ll either sink or swim. My guess, she’ll be seeking the joint within 6 months.
Bump
Am I boycotting the place if I never heard of it before and thus never had any intention of eating there? Is it a real boycott to avoid a place you didn’t intend on patronizing in the first place?
What has President Trump done that is so offensive to homos anyway?
Well, the tyrant DID have the courtesy to ask Sanders to step out on that patio where she told her in private “GET OUT!”
If I were her insurer, my rates would become astronomical if I would still offer her a policy.
Looks like it has been fixed. Lots of good food that I will never eat because of how they treated SHS.
Her married name is Gummer.
