Main Street Lexington needs to hear from us! [Vanity]

Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family out of her restaurant because she works for President Donald J. Trump. We've seen the news on this, the posts on Yelp, Facebook, etc. Well, there is more. Stehpanie Wilkinson is Executive Director of Main Street Lexington, which strives to promote business in downtown Lexington, Virginia. This is Rockbridge count, which voted 62.4% for Trump! I think we need to bring Wilkinson's bigotry to the attention of the bigger community and see if they back her or Trump.

Main Street Lexington needs emails and phone calls to hear our displeasure:

• Main Street Lexington email info@mainstreetlexington.org and phone is (540) 319-4181.
• Here are the folks: https://www.mainstreetlexington.org/who-we-are.html
• Stephanie Wilkinson, Executive Director, swilkinson@mainstreetlexington.org
• Lots of names on their staff and board, but the rest go to info@mainstreetlexington.org.

My message: "Are all organizations as bigoted as Red Hen? Should we boycott just them or the whole downtown and city of Lexington?"

And more! Go through their pages and reach out to her membership and neighbors. Are they all bigoted and do they support her? A quick glance at pages shows the following sponsors, partners, and members that should be contacted:

Got a few minutes, send them a polite email asking if they agree and support and appreciate the affiliation with Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson. Should we boycott them as well?

The best descriptive is “civic pretension”

The condition is justification for high prices

Did you find email links to these? If dug up the 21 for the Main Street Lexington organization and wrote to all. Gotten response from one.

I notice that someone at Main Street Lexington posted on their facebook page a survey asking if they should keep Wilkinson has executive director. Someone AT the organization posted this!

Also noticed that Red Hen stayed closed yesterday so she's already lost business. Wonder if she'll reopen on Tuesday?

[Grampa Dave]

She had the right and we have the right to respond!

Amen!

[Grampa Dave]

See how she survives without 62% of her potential customers.

How many of the remaining possible customers are illegals that she likes to hire?

I think he got laid at least once, I am assuming that is his son in the middle. Dad does look like a full blown dork though .

[leaning conservative]

I get her every waking minute & nightmare sleep are consumed by the question, “”Why did I do something so stupid?” I also get her fellow business owners are not happy with her either.

[Deplorable American1776]

He gets laid...by a strap-on...😀

[Deplorable American1776]

Asking someone to leave IS kicking her out. Do you use a Ginsu knife to mince your words, jackass Shelia?

[leaning conservative]

Bet not get

[Deplorable American1776]

Alive?? Most Hillary supporters are BRAIN DEAD!! 😀

[COBOL2Java]

They have the right to deny service to me, as a Trump supporter.

No, no they don't.

Do Restaurants Have the Unrestricted Right to Refuse Service?

[COBOL2Java]

I agree that the Red Hen management/ownership has the right to not serve SHS.

Wrong

Do Restaurants Have the Unrestricted Right to Refuse Service?

Here's my Yelp review ...

Stopped in Lexington to visit an old friend at VMI while on my way to Fort Lee while on TDY. Decided to to eat at this restaurant and was appalled at the uncleanliness of the place: bathrooms were third-world atrocious and there was food and trash on the floor underneath the tables. I'm glad that it took so long for the service to arrive because it gave me a chance to act on my second thoughts and leave the premises before I caught something that Army medicine might not be able to cure.

[Deplorable American1776]

ConservaTeen said that the one in the middle looks like an XXXXXXXXY male... 😀

That said I bet he'd rather have it in his body than on the top of his head...😀

[wardaddy]

Glad to have you

Those two states went purple due to northern migrants

Nashville where I am near is very lib in city but all the counties ringing it are not

We have many folks like you here....from LA usually just couldn’t deal with it anymore

[wardaddy]

Lexington has a huge huge academia presence

Two schools and one is super lib

[wardaddy]

Lee himself is buried in the chapel too

Jackson’s horse is in chapel at vmi and he’s buried in Lexington old cemetery

[Silentgypsy]

The difference in the two situations is that Sarah left the restaurant in quiet dignity and with respect. The homosexuals pursued ruinous, hostile legal action against the baker and consider themselves revolutionaries instead of the petty, mean individuals they are. BTW, it was a blessing that Sarah left as opposed to having been served adulterated food that could cause illness within her family. I don’t know if you’re aware of how disgusting and vindictive some of those people can be. She came out of that situation smelling like a rose. Just my 2 cents.

The stupid Wilkerson said she was "defending" her principles by ousting Sara......(snort).

The old Red Hen never factored in the number she was doing on the image of Lexington as a destination point for tourism.

[wardaddy]

Libs usually Gay first infect all neat places and ave all my life

Colorado was a cowboy state when I was a kid

California really was Beach Boys

Northern Virginia was quaint

Vermont was liberty loving

Austin was cool then but in a real way

Santa Fe was cowboys and adobe and art and know for the opera for arty folks

The left have been the Borg my sixty years destroying all that was good
