Wonder how many reservations are under the name of Heywood Jakizzmass.
Yikes!!!!
Gives her time to tour the country with Hogg Boy.
Its sheer madness that she thought she could get away with kicking Sara out.....and suffer no consequences.
Once again we see why lefties should never hold even a modicum of power....they’re too stupid.
I don’t know why they do it. I’m still trying to figure out Peter Fonda’s insane rants.
Here ya go.

LEXINGTON, Va. (WDBJ7) — Stephanie Wilkinson has chosen to resign as executive director of Main Street Lexington.
Wilkinson is the co-owner of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington and is the person who asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave the restaurant due to her political affiliation, drawing national attention, including that of the President of the United States, who called the restaurant “dirty” on Twitter..
Elizabeth Outland Branner, Board President of Main Street Lexington, says she accepted the resignation of Wilkinson as the executive director of Main Street Lexington.
“Considering the events of the past weekend, Stephanie felt it best, that for the continued success of Main Street Lexington, she should step aside,” Branner states.
Main Street Lexington is a volunteer-based organization which helps to enhance and promote Downtown Lexington.
Some people on social media had called attention to Wilkinson’s role with the group, saying her decision reflected the town itself.
Source?
John Wayne said it often. Don’t know the origin.
Very misleading title and article. She resigned, she wasn’t forced out and the ratings plummeted after many of us gave a negative review.
was the
Yay! I’m glad the other businesses aren’t complete liberal zombies.
“continued success..”
I surely hope they do not enjoy continued success.
I remember when she pulled the same stunt after the LA Riots of 1992.
I couldn't understand how she wasn't jailed for inciting riot.
Wise words.
A lumberjack yells “Timber!” with timbre so it can be clearly heard at a distance.
The employees that called the owner and then voted to not serve Sarah Sanders also voted themselves out of a job.
Liz-her stupid decision really has consequences.I am part of a local “foodie” group. We get together and travel to new places. Some of us are professional cooks, others are amateurs. We meet with local providers/farmers etc and then visit local restaurants. There would have been 20 of us going to Lexington area. We canceled because politics reared its ugly head.
All of us notified COC/business people etc and told them why we would not be visiting. Because this whole area relies heavily on tourism, her decision really impacted them. What a selfish and stupid decision she and her employees made.
And Stephanie Wilkinson also owns House Mountain Yarn Co. (http://www.housemountainyarnco.com) with email housemountainyarnco@gmail.com
