“Hello Intolerant, intellectually-challenged, psychotic, socialists!
Your so-called business is in jeopardy. Rest assured this is not a threat but simply a warning that predicts your downfall. When your treasonist hypocrite lowlife Obama took our nation into despair (for 8 yrs) we didn’t do or say the things you do. Get over it, before it’s too late! BTW, there are a lot more of us than there are of you.’’
I’ve been getting hate mail for almost a year now, ever since I asked White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to leave my Lexington, Va., restaurant, the Red Hen, last June. ***
Faced with the prospect of serving a fine meal to a person whose actions in the service of our country we felt violated basic standards of humanity, we balked. We couldn’t do it.
I took Ms. Sanders aside and politely suggested she leave. She agreed, equally politely. She may or may not have expected this day would come, but she never showed any sign of outrage, or even much surprise. We’d drawn a line; she’d accepted it.
I’m pretty sure both of us thought that was the end of the matter.
When I awoke the next morning, social media was on fire. The incident had gone from a Facebook post to a tagged tweet to nationally trending news with the whoosh of lighter fluid to a flame.
The blowback was swift and aggressive. Within 24 hours, the restaurant’s phone line was hacked, my staff and I were doxxed, and threats to our lives and families and property were pouring in through every available channel. Protesters colonized the streets around the restaurant. Thousands of fake Yelp reviews torpedoed our ratings, and dozens of people attempted to lock up our tables with reservations they had no intention of honoring. ***

There are thousands of restaurants with progressive activist Leftist owners. I avoid them when possible because the atmosphere is so fake and the owners are hate filled and unhappy.
As anyone with a brain should have forseen, and as I predicted at the time. It is a divided nation and there are not more of “us” everywhere, especially in that neighborhood. Equal and opposite reactions are why boycotts almost never work.
To her credit,Sarah Sanders immediately understood this better than most who tried to “help”.
“I took Ms. Sanders aside and politely suggested she leave.” - Stephanie Wilkinson, Red Hen restaurant owner

You lie!
“By the way. Laura, there’s a part of that story that has not been told,” Huckabee said. “You’re going to be the first to hear it … Of course, Sarah was asked to please vacate [the Red Hen restaurant]. She and her husband just went home — they had sort of had enough.”
“But the rest of her family went across the street to a different restaurant,” Huckabee continued. “The owner of The Red Hen — nobody’s told this — then followed them across the street, called people, and organized a protest yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant, and creating this scene.”

Boo Hoo.
..."In fact, it's so good that I'm stirring up all this long-forgotten hatred all over again, in the hopes that I'll drive more people away from my overcrowded restaurant."
Above poster hit it right, the place is trolling for business. No such thing as bad publicity.
You would think people would learn.
“What about me?!”
But replace "fine meal" with "wedding cake" and liberals all over the country faint from the vapors!
My bet is that she’s either lying about the health of her biz, or someone is funneling her money.
Let’s see her tax returns!
Sounds to me like she’s trying to create an excuse for why her business is going to burn to the ground sometime soon.
Hopefully the insurance investigators are paying attention.
Because the owner is scum
Noel was a bohemian Tory as he liked to say
His last lover Nicky was Godfather to my girlfriend in the mid 80s
Quite a group of very witty folks
Then why did her business take a hit? Liberals sure aren’t going to be fooled by allegedly “fake Yelp” reviews, are they. There was a reason for the closing at the time.
Just because Wilkinson lies about her status quo does not mean we should believe it.
Sux to have conservatives who fight back, eh, Stephanie? I’m sure you and your ilk pine for the days of Bush-League Republicans who know their place.
Says the devil who wants abortion to be legal up to and after the moment of birth. Take your lashes and be quiet woman!
If this bitch REALLY wants to challenge us, we can simply play by Jesse Jackson’s Playbook when it comes to boycotting, which is to literally BLOCKADE her place.
Then see if she is still so obstinate.
Great way you framed that! Nice job.
In a nutshell, that is why they are losing their minds over President Trump. He has shown a lot of conservatives that you don't have to just lay back and take it.
And that message drives Leftists insane.
I strongly encourage liberals to post signs saying that they “don’t want my kind” in their places of business.
So I know where NOT to spend my money.
