LEXINGTON, Va. (WDBJ7) Hundreds of people, representing several different groups, gathered in Lexington Saturday for demonstrations sparked by the actions of a restaurant owner.
Motorcycles roared down East Washington Street as dozens lined the sidewalk, holding signs with sayings like "The Red Hen laid a rotten egg."
Nearly everyone who came out for a series of rallies was there to show support for President Trump, after the owner of the Red Hen asked his chief spokesperson to leave the restaurant more than a week ago.
"That was the straw that broke the camel's back and set us off and made us say 'we've got to come down to this town," explained Douglas Thompson of "Bikers For Trump," a group founded to rally support for President Trump and other conservative politicians.
"Our message is (we) need to start showing respect for the President of the United States," Thompson said.
Also on hand were members of a group called The Patriot Picket, a group that primarily advocates for Second Amendment Rights.
Corey Stewart, the man recently nominated by Republicans to run against Tim Kaine in this year's Senate race, also showed up to share his thoughts on what happened at The Red Hen.
"The left in this country has gone so crazy," Stewart told WDBJ7. "Tim Kaine and the Democrats are upset with the President and the fact that he's been so successful."
At least one person stood among those rallying for the President to show support for the owner of The Red Hen.
"I'm very impressed with this woman," said Vanessa Billings, a woman who traveled from Baltimore to show her support for The Red Hen and its owner. "It was a very brave thing to do. She is suffering economically from it."

It wasn't a mass public protest and the lone supporter for the Dead Hen was never harassed...............
Oh I don’t know...she’ll have no problem getting some wealthy Dem to buy the dump and leave it closed now. Tax writeoff. You know how wealthy Dems hate paying taxes ;-)
A cynic might even say this was a carefully-executed strategy to inflate the value of a 26-seat foo-foo restaurant in order dump it for a huge profit. Good thing we’re not cynics.
Why would VMI hire this pinko hat wearing jack-wagon?
No idea...call VMI and ask ‘em.
It’s been closed since the incident. Normal closing days are
Mon & Tues so we’ll see come Wednesday if it reopens. Also
this place is open only from 5pm - 9:30pm on business days.
Is that really her? What kind of man is that husband of hers?
Wonder who wears the pants in that family?
I cannot imagine my husband wearing something like that (course I married a real man).
It’s nice to know there’s an organization called “Bikers for Trump.”
In Hollywood, when a producer angers the Hollywood establishment he’s told, “You’ll never eat lunch in this town again!”
With the Bikers for Trump around, the Red Hen may never serve lunch in its town again.
Reminds me of an old song.....”Who’s Sorry Now?”
If people are outside picketing, or doing a sit-in, and it impedes other people going there or passing by, it is a mass public protest.
Wed is July 4. Hit or miss about being open.
Red Hens husband and son must be quaking in their pink hats at the sight of bikers.
The pink hatters don’t have anything to worry about. The Bikers are more interested in having a good breakfast at the Pink Cadillac.
from the article -
On Sunday morning members of Bikers For Trump will show their support for another hometown in Rockbridge County. They plan to have breakfast at the Pink Cadillac in Natural Bridge.
Good bytch!! Maybe cousin Meryl can bail you out.......
The Red Hen is supposed to reopen on July 6.
Where is the evidence of what you are alleging?
What do you think of this peaceful mass protest by conservatives?
They ve been closed every day since the incident. About 10 or 11 days. I think some protesters have been there everyday. People standing out front with Trump signs, and one said don’t support the commie cluck. A favorite sign I think.
Feckless Hunt Hats.
Wha if some establishment refuses to serve Hussein on account of his illegitimacy in so many matters?
The carpetbaggers have long since taken root in Lexington. Why do you think a place like “the red hen” would exist?
I think Elicott City is and has been gentrified with the long local peoples of color being displaced going uphill to the west.
