Claim: ‘Red Hen’ Owner Followed Sarah Sanders’ Family to Another Restaurant, Kept Heckling Them
Breitbart ^ | 6/26/18

Posted on 06/26/2018 6:20:59 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Gov. Mike Huckabee said Monday on the Laura Ingraham Show that even after Red Hen restaurant owner Stephanie Wilkinson threw his daughter Sarah Sanders out because she worked for President Donald Trump, she also stoked a protest at a nearby business where some of Sanders’ party had relocated.

Sanders, Trump’s press secretary, wrote on Twitter about the incident.

“Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so,” Sanders tweeted.

Huckabee told Ingraham that after being asked to leave the restaurant, Sanders and her husband returned home, but the rest of the family went across the street to another restaurant. Huckabee said while Sanders’ family dined across the street, Wilkinson followed them to the restaurant and harassed them there.

“The owner of the Red Hen called people and organized a protest, yelling, and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant and creating this scene,” Huckabee said.

Some of Sanders’ in-laws, most of whom Huckabee described as “very liberal,” confronted the protesters, according to Huckabee.

“One of the members of Sarah’s in-laws who were there walked out and said, ‘Look I don’t like Trump, I’m not a supporter … but you guys are embarrassing me, and you’re not helping the cause.’”

“This is what the left has been reduced to,” Huckabee said. “It’s really tragic, and it is dangerous, and that’s what I think people need to recognize.”

This is going to be the economic disaster the liberals wanted. If I’m packing Peter spray, do I really want to leave the house?

They don’t even know about what happened in the 20s and 30s. Not part of their programming

Well stated. I think this type of statement will work as follow-up to my original emails on Saturday. We need to keep the pressure up on them.

Tourists visiting the Shenandoah Valley are looking to relax and get away from stress. They don’t want to be stuck in the middle of a demonstration. Lexington now has a reputation of being unsafe. All the stores on Main St. are going to suffer. The hotels near there and out on the interstate will too.

This actually crosses an unacceptable line.
If the conservative can deny service, I will say that the liberal can, too. Thus the restaurant owner can say no, I won’t serve you.
HOWEVER, following the person who left the establishment to another one is worse. It is harassment.
Organizing a mob to interfere with their use of another establishment is yet another offense.

I believe that "Liberal hatred" already has turned to violence. How quickly we all forget about Steve Scalise being shot, about a year ago, on a baseball field for no other reason than he was a Republican.

The Left are always the ones who turn to violence first. Then, they accuse everyone else of doing the same. They are the intolerant ones; they are the violent ones.

It is peculiar that the liberals don’t see any resemblance between their actions and those of the Brown Shirts of the 1920s and 30s.

I had the very same reaction when I watched "students" in prominent Universities shout down speakers they don't agree with. I even said that to my hubby: They call the speaker a Nazi, not realizing that the Nazis were the ones shouting down the speakers. The Left are the Nazis of our age.

yep a Prius

I believe when that car first made an appearance, the guys at South Park made fun of the car and the people that buy it. Only in the episode, they called the car the "Pious". I now, always, refer to a Prius as a Pious. Can't help myself.

Did Sanders’ in-laws have a child with them?

Supposedly, her three young children were with the original party. The article says Sarah and her husband returned home (no mention of the children), so I assume the children remained with their grandparents.

Sick.

Most Virginia gentlemen I know would have bloodied some noses and demanded to be left alone.. their right, wonderful to stay peaceful, but within their rights to react and yelling at them does not get you food either..

until the owner came out with a gun and then those ‘protesters’ ran for their lives ...

yes sounds ... possible.

unlikely though - because it would heve made an even bigger media event on the leftist news.
