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.
Apparently she was the “EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR” or an organization formed to PROMOTE the town’s businesses.
Even she must have seen the irony!
