Red Hen Owner Who Booted Sarah Sanders Speaks Out: Would ‘Absolutely’ Do it Again
Mediaite ^ | 4:51 pm, June 23rd, 2018 | y Tamar Auber

Red Hen owner Stephanie Wilkinson said she was actually home when she got a phone call informing her that Sanders had walked into her small, farm-to-table restaurant.

“[The chef] said the staff is a little concerned. What should we do?” Wilkinson told WaPo. “I said I’d be down to see if it’s true.”

Wilkinson also said she had her doubts that Sanders would actually be in a restaurant in her small, rural town but once arriving, she confirmed it was true and Sanders was indeed seated at a group table with other adults.

She then huddled with the staff, many who took issue with the White House on a number of issues and some who are gay, and asked them if they thought Sanders should go.

They did, so she asked Sanders to accompany her to the patio.

“I was babbling a little, but I got my point across in a polite and direct fashion,” Wilkinson said. “I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation…I said, ‘I’d like to ask you to leave.’ ”

“Absolutely, yes, I would have done the same thing again,” the Red Hen owner said. “We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.”

For these socialists, it’s totalitarian rule: Their way or the highway. It is their tribal group think that is on that highway going the wrong way of useful fools. It is “those writers, artists, musicians—those “sensitive types”—who are the suckers for the “deep state.” The deep state is no conspiracy and those who understand its existence will not be demeaned as nut-job conspiracy fanatics. We know there are those who aim to turn America into a totalitarian hell hole for their own self interest. We are working to secure America from their threat which is a fight that the Left should know is working for our self interests as much as it is for theirs.

"What has President Trump done that is so offensive to homos anyway?"

I was asking that same question. As far as I know, President Trump has done nothing to offend them.

The large heaping portions of fascism served here are a direct indication of the intolerance of Stephanie Wilkinson. If you disagree with her politics, she will ask you to leave. There is no room for disagreement at a progressive table.

Nothing was terrible but nothing was great
Food was mediocre on our plates

Seems to me they rest on their past rep
The menu is old lacking any pep

Now that the owners who all wear P***Y hats
See the pix here to see that’s a fact

Want to take a stand and refuse to serve
Someone they disagree with raw raging nerve

So they can alienate half of their crowd
And when sales fall will scream out loud

My job is done, see you all later
Enjoy the prosperity and not be a Trump hater

The point of the tome was to show there is choice
And everyone here has an equal voice

Surprised to see a lot of support
While laughing at others who are not good sports

Eat here if you want but it’s not for me
I’ll go where there is fairness for all to see

I may not agree with all those I meet
But will strive to be pleasant as we pass on the street

Peace out.


Bravo.

Hit her suppliers too. She’ll have trouble finding sympathetic businesses.

I’m sure most faggots voted for Hillary. There’s your supportable basis for denying them service.

FREEP THIS POLL- Vote: Should Stephanie Wilkinson remain as director of Main Street Lexington? She’s the owner of the Red Hen who kicked Sarah Sanders and family out of the restaurant. Lexington is mad as Hell.

When I look at the outside of the “Red Hen”. I see a very small restaurant. It is owned by someone related to Meryl Streep, which is odd. Small restaurants have paper thin margins, so why is it not concerned with bottom lines? Is it getting preferential tax considerations? Is Meryl Streep involved with it’s finances? Is she getting some tax special treatment? Remember, a significant part of Hollywood uses charities to finance relatives and gets the tax benefits out of out. Kind of takes the charity out of charity...

“I’m sure most faggots voted for Hillary.”

Yesterday I was re-living the wonderfulness of 2016 Election Night. So many of the still photos of depressed and sobbing Hillary supporters were homosexual couples - both genders.

Liberal tears are amusing and delicious.

Will Trump supporters across the country go out of their way to boycott the Red Hen?

I promise I will never eat at the Red Hen.

What an ugly, shriveled-up old hag. It is full of hate for normal people, and runs a mini-fascist enterprise where it can ban people for acting like normal humans.

If I could only stop by the Red Hen for lunch, I am sure that I would put my whole Red Snapper from the fish market somewhere out of the way during lunch and then “forget” to retrieve it when leaving.

And people have the right to BOYCOTT your un-american ass.

See you at the bankruptcy court.

Customers have the right to not do business with scoundrels.

I guess your restaurant wasn't doing as well as you've been pretending.

So go fund me and temporary patronage from bamboozled liberals before you sell?

plus you get to use meryl streeps name without even doing it yourself.

...and BTW where the hell is lois lerner these days?...

In her own words, the restaurant is in a small area of liberals surrounded by a county of Trump voters.

“...the staff is a little concerned. What should we do?”

The snowflakes equate Sarah’s presence with an emergency. They’d have been less concerned if Typhoid Mary had walked through the door. “What should we do?” The left literally has gone insane. (Thank you, Satan and Soros.)
