The owner of the Virginia restaurant responsible for kicking White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and her family out on Friday evening is stepping aside from leadership of a local business group.
Stephanie Wilkinson stepped down as an executive director of Main Street Lexington, an organization tasked with promoting economic viability, Fox News has learned.
Elizabeth Outland Branner, the president of the organization, accepted Wilkinson’s resignation Tuesday morning, WSLS reported.
“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 wrote in an email.
The Washington Times reported that the volunteer-based organization “exists to enhance the economic prosperity and cultural vitality of our community, re-establishing downtown Lexington as the vibrant economic and cultural nexus of our area while maintaining its unique character,” according to its homepage. The group, established in 2013, is affiliated with the Virginia Main Street Program, which seeks to promote “economic revitalization in the context of historic preservation.”
As Fox News previously reported, Wilkinson told The Washington Post that she felt compelled to take a stand, citing what she called the Trump White House’s “inhumane and unethical” actions.
“I’m not a huge fan of confrontation,” Wilkinson told The Post. “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive.” But, she went on to say, “This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”

One of your owners is hateful and possibly violent. She has physically intimidated people whose politics she objects to including following their friends and family AFTER they left her place, The Red Hen, and harassing them at another restaurant.
People in this country should not be harassed or yelled at or physically intimidated because they don’t agree with someone’s politics. How do you open for business and treat people like that?
My sister lives in Virginia and she quilts and makes clothing. I will ask her and her friends to boycott your store a long as that owners remains there.
Rest assured, when I visit we will not come near Lexington as long as she has a role in the community.
The media is liberal, so are the Red Hen owners. They hate children, so in their minds, pedophiles aren't stigmatized.
She probably doesn't know the meaning of the word "morals."
Feeeeelings are overrated.

In the 2016 Presidential election Hillary carried the city. How does that not typify hate?
I'd like to see at least a "threat" of collateral damage here--boycott ALL of Lexington and force the Red Hen out of business, or at least get rid of Wilkinson.

Except those of illegals.
She was kicked out and given the opportunity to “Save Face” by resigning
“following their friends and family AFTER they left her place, The Red Hen, and harassing them at another restaurant.”
In Arkansas that is a the felony crime of terroristic threatening.
In Texas it comes under the common law “he or she needed killing.”
Another little fable:
Little Red Hen found a grain of wheat.
“Who will plant this?” she asked.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the goose.
“Not I,” said the rat.
“Then I will,” said Little Red Hen.
So she buried the wheat in the ground. After a while it grew up yellow and ripe.
“The wheat is ripe now,” said Little Red Hen. “Who will cut and thresh it?”
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the goose.
“Not I,” said the rat.
“Then I will,” said Little Red Hen.
So she cut it with her bill and threshed it with her wings. Then she asked, “Who will take this wheat to the mill?”
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the goose.
“Not I,” said the rat.
“Then I will,” said Little Red Hen.
So she took the wheat to the mill, where it was ground. Then she carried the flour home.
“Who will make me some bread with this flour?” she asked.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the goose.
“Not I,” said the rat.
“Then I will,” said Little Red Hen.
So she made and baked the bread.
Then she said, “Now we shall see who will eat this bread.”
“We will,” said cat, goose, and rat.
“I am quite sure you would,” said Little Red Hen, “if you could get it.”
Then she called her chicks, and they ate up all the bread. There was none left at all for the cat, or the goose, or the rat.
Now this is a rather charming little tale, and one could only wish that the proprietors would have incorporated this philosophy into their business model, since they thought “Red Hen” was such a cutesy name to use for their business.
Thanks for the info. I will be posting it on Twitter.
I guess her affinity for sex offenders is genetic, considering that her cousin, Meryl Creep, has a close bond with pedophiles.
I may be wrong, but it looks like Cowboybob is simply mocking leftists who react this way to every slight.
Beautiful. Just perfect!
And thank you SO MUCH for remembering Kate Steinle in your tag line.
She and Terri Schaivo will forever be burned into my brain. :(
