I had not heard it and it is a pretty slow news day.

Why anyone with a business would get involved in “politics” is beyond me..... bad for business.

I don't understand why any business would make any political statements or engage in politically controversial behavior.

Just last week I was driving through Virginia and decided to take a side-trip off the interstate to drive past the Red Hen Restaurant that refused to serve Sarah Sanders. Even though it was lunch time - no way was I going to stop at any restaurant in that town and certainly not the Red Hen.

I'm so glad I didn't stop. Yesterday the owner of the Red Hen said she supported the waitress who spit on Eric Trump. It's interesting, she said that no one in her industry supported violence or assault on any customers but then said she supported the waitress. Is she a moron? Spitting is called criminal assault and is also considered battery.

Not necessarily.

They may think that such a moral stand is necessary to stay in business, to avoid a boycott or bad press from social justice jihadis.

They may have bad marketing advice from Millennials saying it is NECESSARY to appeal to young spenders.

They may have such a liberal consumer base that they think this is a plus with their market, and that making such a stand will increase sales in said niche more than the minority of conservatives they have on the site.

Who pays attention the grandmotherly blood sort of knitting?
