A restaurant refused to serve Sarah Sanders and her family

Sarah Sanders had a hard time getting dinner in the D.C. area on Friday. She and her family were asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va.

Jaike Foley-Schultz, who says he is a waiter at the Red Hen, shared a post on Facebook that said his boss kicked out the press secretary and her party.

The post went viral when the director of Clean Virginia, a left-leaning energy nonprofit, shared the post on Twitter, along with a handwritten note, purportedly from the restaurant, with the note: “86 — Sara Huckabee Sanders.”

The term “86” is restaurant shorthand for cutting people off, asking them to leave, or throwing them out.

Sanders confirmed that she was asked to leave in a tweet this morning.

“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,” Sanders tweeted.

She also got in a dig, noting that being asked to leave said more about the owner than her.

Depending upon traffic, Lexington, VA is a 4-5 hour drive from the District of Columbia. She and her family must have been in Lexington, VA for another reason than just having “a hard time getting dinner in the D.C. area.”

Actually, the Red Hen owner chose her target well. If she had done that to one of Obama’s staff members, she would be facing an IRS audit and a slew of other bureaucratic plagues.

..... They can reject her business, and we can return the favor by not patronizing theirs.

More importantly be sure to share the worthwhile information with your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and on the social media web sites in your community. That's how the left doesn't it? But be polite about it.

This was bound to happen after last week's Supreme Court ruling.

What ruling was that? The only one I remember is the one about paying sales taxes for items purchased over the internet.

FWIW Lexington is not the DC area. Sadly it is home to VMI which used to be very conservative but in the last 20 years or so has moved steadily left.

This restaurant is located in conservative area that went heavily for Trump and this lefist c**t refused service to POTUS press secretary because she doesn’t share her values?? Well then, she doesn’t share the values of the majority of her patrons either I assume.

Why doesn’t this sanctimonious leftists whore take her business to NoVa or some liberal area instead of spreading her hate filled leftist disease in a red district? Could it be lower taxes and low crime?

How lopsided is it?

It has a university named Washington & Lee, Robert E Lee and family is interred there, another university is “military” institute (VMI), Stonewall Jackson home/museum . . . when will the locals start the destruction?

I am glad the owner took off his/her hood and identified him/herself as a member of the intolerant, party of haters. I’ll never eat there next time I visit.

Do they have a Lunch Counter?
After all, Virginia used to be a Southern State.

nope, they mean EVERYTHING related to the news:

“Active Cleanup Alert

This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news.

While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.

As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part of our cleanup process beginning Saturday, June 23, 2018, but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time. “

You make the point of loser mentality and that maybe so but I would think you wouldn’t want somebody spitting in your food like they spit in the police officers food at different restaurants or they say they won’t serve them if they do serve them what did they do their food you don’t know

Oh dear, that is “so racist” and “pro-capitalist” of you to imply that the restaurant owner seeks a business location offering “ lower taxes and low crime.” At least from a SJW lefty.

Would they have kicked out Dr. Ben Carson?

They did her a favor. If they would act in such despicable manner whats going to stop them from messing with the food?

It’s a shame though. They sue our people into bankruptcy for not promoting their agenda, we stay home for fear of them knowing ours.

That's because far too many Americans have allowed themselves to be cowed and intimidated to the point they'd rather become cowering wussies hiding in their own little shells than stand up to the liberal bullying and name calling and fight back like real Americans did that came before them.

Almost makes one want to throw up with so many Americans turning more and more into sniveling cowards right before your own eyes. Far too much capitulation to the angry liberal mob mentality of today.

Do that to me, and I ignore the order. Call the cops, and I own the store, after some litigation.

This story is fantastic. Instead of seating SSH at a nice table they ask her to leave. I wonder if they regret their action now? I am sure the liberal base will make up for all the lost business they are about to see. Watch out for that Blue Wave now.
