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.”

Good to know where NOT to eat when in Lexington.
Good!
I will never dine in her restaurant.
Her hospitality or rather the lack of it, speaks for itself.
Because now the word is out, and I bet most of her customers were tourists.
People have lost their minds.
Will Trump supporters across the country go out of their way to boycott the Red Hen?
Or will liberals around the country make an effort to eat at the red hen?
Can Trump supporters rally around an effort to boycott the Red Hen?
Is she as stupid as she looks, or the other way around?
Good one!
But she would be the first one to say that a Christian baker can not be permitted to live his convictions as a Christian and refuse to bake a Gay wedding cake.
This moron runs business decisions like this through her staff?
Useless leader
It’s civil war my friends. Just what we need. No excrement.
She was lucky to get kicked out. Who knows what they would have put in her food had they allowed her to stay?
Let’s just start breaking windows.
Civility and courtesy are dead in this country.
Typical leftist moved to an area that is conservative for good taxes, cheap real estate, and low crime, and they try and filth it up with their communism.
where libs eat free
If I went in there and ordered the best in the house, and, when the check arrived I put on my MAGA hat would I be booted before I had to pay the bill?
SnowFlakes, all.
