Vice reported: The co-owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, has had a hell of a time since she decided to 86 Sarah Huckabee Sanders from her restaurant on Friday, coming under attack from an army of Trump supporters. But despite all the backlash she’s gotten from the right, Stephanie Wilkinson says she doesn’t regret a thing.
“I would have done the same thing again,” she told the Washington Post. “We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.”
When Sanders came to the Red Hen with her husband and six other people on Friday night, the chef called Wilkinson to say the staff was “a little concerned,” Wilkinson told the Post. She headed to the restaurant, and—while Sanders and her friends munched on cheeseboards—called the staff into a huddle in the kitchen, and asked if they wanted Sanders to leave. According to the Post, a handful of her employees are gay, and others have been revulsed by Sanders’ treatment of the crisis at the border. They wanted her gone.
Wilkinson took Sanders out to the patio and asked her to leave, telling her the restaurant had “certain standards” like “honesty, and compassion, and cooperation,” Wilkinson told the Post. Sanders agreed to go, gathered up her stuff, and headed out, followed by the rest of her party, whose meal Wilkinson comped.
After the White House Press Secretary identified the place by name on Twitter, President Trump called it “filthy,” and an army of his supporters got busy screwing with its business—starting a campaign to make a bunch of fake dinner reservations and tanking its rating on Yelp.

The left hates it when you use their tactics agenst them.
Right there she’s a hypocrite in saying that.
This is hardly news.
“We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.”
Yet she has a problem with OTHERS living by THEIR convictions.
Awww, so sad too bad. You made your choice, now live with it and quit complaining.
Good job!
Click bait? What is the “sick threat”? There is none in this article, it simply rehashes existing news. Highly recommend the moderator delete this click bait.
Yawn. A proper owner might have told the wait staff (who were the ones initially with an issue) to either do your job and serve our customers or don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Butttttttt, the co-owner decided to go for some free publicity. FAIL!
Exactly.
Force Christians to bake gay “marriage” cakes? They’re all for it.
Love the video of crazy Maxine being asked if conservatives should move to the back of the bus. Lol.
She is a fool...
No one wants teriyaki chicken with cockroach sauce
But you better bake the damn cake

“We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.”
Where is the “sick threat?”
Yup, clickbait headline. No new news.
I fail to see any sick threat though.
RED HEN OWNER JUST ISSUED SICK THREAT TO SARAH SANDERS AFTER BIZ WAS DESTROYED BY BOOTING HER
No discernable threat issued, popups and well, just the going trend, Titles claiming something that sounds like it would be interesting, but is non existence in the article.
A trend I think came to fruition when The Daily Caller took up this habit.
Come March of 2019....she can add up the 35-percent loss in revenue and try to guesstimate just how far she wants to plow savings into a dying restaurant.
The moment that she failed as a true owner, was when she took a vote of employees on the action to take. At that moment, she demonstrated the lack of manager skills and set into motion this failure of the business.
The conviction of a true business owner, for themselves, and the employees....is to keep the business operating and prospering...while paying taxes. She fails with her conviction.
I’m not exactly pleased at Trump trashing the place via Twitter. That could be interpreted as tortious interference. OTOH, I am all out of give a s**t for these types.
