Showing Original Post only (View all)"I own the Red Hen restaurant that asked Sarah Sanders to leave. Resistance isn't futile." [View all]
Stephanie Wilkinson is the co-owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Va.
Hello Intolerant, intellectually-challenged, psychotic, socialists!
Your so-called business is in jeopardy. Rest assured this is not a threat but simply a warning that predicts your downfall. .?.?. When your treasonist hypocrite lowlife Obama took our nation into despair (for 8 yrs) we didnt do or say the things you do. Get over it, before its too late! BTW, there are a lot more of us than there are of you.
Ive been getting hate mail for almost a year now, ever since I asked White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to leave my Lexington, Va., restaurant, the Red Hen, last June.
At the time, the country was in turmoil over the Trump administrations heinous practice of separating children from their parents at our southern border. In our tiny 26-seat restaurant, the horror felt simultaneously immediate and far away.
...
When we opened after a 10-day hiatus, our dining room was full. In the following weeks, people who had never been to the Shenandoah Valley traveled out of their way to eat with us. Hundreds of orders for our Red Hen spice blend poured in. And the love spread far beyond our door, as supporters sent thousands of dollars in donations in our honor to our local food pantry, our domestic violence shelter and first responders.
After nearly a year, Im happy to say that business is still good. Better than good, actually. And besides the boost to our area charities, our towns hospitality and sales revenue have gone up, too.

Answer: You have no choice in birth, but you do have a choice to be an asshole and harm others.

To me, the difference is that Sanders was refused service because of her conduct, her actions.
