President Donald J. Trump’s press secretary was thrown out of a Virginia restaurant because she works for the Trump administration.
“Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for [President Trump] and I politely left,” she tweeted. “Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so.”
The Red Hen has been owned by Stephanie Wilkinson since 2008, according to a public records database.
Wilkinson and her co-founder John Blackburn are part of the leftist “go green” craze.
“Our two main goals during renovation were to preserve the historic character of the building and update it in the most sustainable way possible,” Blackburn told Virginia Living.
Curiously, nobody named Stephanie Wilkinson is registered to vote in Virginia.
The Red Hen has been taking a beating on Google Reviews since the news surfaced.
“Based on the new report that that the manager asked a patron last night to leave because she worked for the POTUS, this is highly inappropriate,” a Google user named Kimberly Mackie wrote. “A business should never ask a customer to leave because of their job.”
Some restaurants have proven to be in the past.
Meryl Streep’s cousin?
If you read the screen shot of the business at the top of the article, Red Hen has been around since 2008. That was my reference.
The Democrat Party has been in existence for 190 years and for the first 140 years they were openly and often violently segregationists. After the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 and the Voters Rights Act was passed in 1965 they changed their tact to one of using minorities in a different way to express their hate, but it's still the party of hate. The Democrat plantation takes the form of vegetable farms in Arizona/Mexifornia, packing plants in the Midwest and warehouses in Georgia. But it is still the same abusive, hate-filled progressives using identity politics and dishonesty to peddle their tunes. They still want to pay starvation wages to the next batch of slaves on their plantations and show their disdain for honest working class people in America.
Same here.
Excellent.
Sarah’s family with her three small children were there
Some battles you dont fight in front of your little children
My wife lived in Virginia near DC for years and has never heard of Lexington or the restaurant.
Ya reckon y'all could hang on till after my knee heals up from surgery?
I'd hate to miss this. d;^)
Ah, I see. I didn't pick up on the context.
“While Huckabee Sanders cooperated, gathered her belongings and left the restaurant, she made an attempt to ruin the restaurant’s reputation on Twitter later. Despite the backlash the restaurant is getting, Wilkinson stands by her decision.”
This restaurant owner is insane. How in the world did Sarah Sanders make an attempt to ruin their reputation? Kicking someone out of a restaurant like a jackboot Brownshirt Gestapo is ruining it all on it’s own.

It's 190 miles south of Washington DC, near the Shenanadoah mountains.
or perhaps it should be Gaystapo.
What if the job was selling heroin to kids?
The restaurant has the right to kick her out, of course, and I have THE RIGHT to not ever patronize the place, even though I have not patronized it yet in my life. #boycott
There are tons of places to eat in and around Lexington with great menus and better prices.
It is not a place you would want to take your 'Rat' or 'First' to for dinner.... nor would they want to go there.
“due to the fact that many were gay”
The ick factor. Better to stay home, invite friends/family over for a cookout or something.
Good grief. A lot of triggered snowflakes.
To a liberal speaking the truth about them is considered assault and battery.
Really good point.
Just saw that the owner is Meryl Streep’s cousin.
