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.”

Any Conservative who owns a business where she shows up as a customer should ask her to leave for being a commie.
That would be great, but it won't make the news.
Bastards.
Still, she’s got to stop and get gas eventually. The station owner should tell her to drag her ass.
Samantha Yates, W&L Class of 2015, created this 20-minute video about the Red Hen. Features interviews with staff, customers, and our supplier partners.
I noticed that your food service workers don’t wear hair nets or rubber gloves while preparing the food……I shall send this video and pictures to the Va Health Department…….it has also been rumored the some of the employees may have some sort of STD.
If I were Jesse Jackson you’d take this seriously because I did not see any Blacks in you restaurant. Thanks for kicking Sara out of you crappy little hen house.
We have arrived at the bleeding Kansas stage of the impending war.
I still remember this as vividly as when it happened.
That’s a good one — health safety issues. Nothing partisan about that.
She had better hurry. She's going to be out of customers soon.
That may be what they pay taxes on.
It’s the hypocrisy that gets me. Blind hypocrites who can’t see any other perspective.
“I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation…”
Is it “compassionate” to kick a family with children out from eating their dinner?
We’ll see what a conservative boycott can do.
Whoa. I see the comments about FReepers wanting violence or wishing for CW II. But it is the lefties who want blood and humiliating submission.
As to this punk who wrote this fantasy, it is nice to see that he can type with one hand, because he obviously had his other hand on his genitalia while he wrote this garbage. I would love to see this basement dweller try to take the firearms from a rightful gun owner.
If this really were a measure of her convictions, why did she need to consult her staff to ask what they wanted her to do before she booted Sanders?
So she left her home and drove all the way to her restaurant to kick out a paying customer. I have no use for Nancy Pelosi but I wouldn’t kick her out of my restaurant.
It would seem that as president of Main Street Lexington she has basically declared a civil war on conservatives on behalf of Lexington. Personally, if I were in the area, I would not do any business in the town as long as the town supports her.
Well if I hear about a red hen restaurant I won’t go there.
Yep, that’s correct!
LOL!
No, the surprising thing is she isn’t in DC. Lexington is west of Charlottesville. She’s in a very conservative county.
