Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so
Someone needs to get this woman a dictionary, so she can look up the definiton for hypocrite. Someone also need to present her with a few video clips of how she treats the White House Press Corp. I do not think the way she treats the WHPC is the dictionary definition of treating people with respect. That woman is completely mean and disrespectful to everyone with whom she disagrees.

They are now also damaged for life, so how does it feel Sarah. They all need to suffer publicly for what they've done to these children, because the gop will refuse to give him or those around him any consequences , ever for the damage they're responsible for .

Was her daddy, the most reverend Mike with her, getting a free meal on the taxpayers? He is milking her job for all he is worth, getting TV gigs on the strength of her employment. Kissing tRumps orange arse like a true fan. Thanks to the owner of the restaurant, he did the right thing. Show these liars how REAL people feel about the entire group.

(43,295 posts)we are polarizing the country. We can use religion to believe anything because it's not measureable, nor codifiable to a great extent, it's just raw belief, opinion, judgment, values. We have no choice, of course, we must meet fire and brimstone with fire and brimstone. Maybe it will eventually soften our beliefs and make us more accepting. It is a wave that will crash someday.

Jaike Foley-Schultz, who says he is a waiter at the Lexington restaurant The Red Hen, posted on Facebook that his boss kicked out the press secretary and her party.
I just served Sarah huckabee sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner kicked her out along with 7 of her other family members

Maybe this is a list a waiter made up on one pass through his section, but seeing the names of alcohol brands and ABC made me think it was a prep list of what to restock for the night. I would think if it were drink orders it would have a drink name like whiskey sour, long Island tea, mojito... not just brand names of alcohol. Does that make sense to you?
Maybe they made the decision earlier in the day and waited to do it till she got there. I was trying to think of how this didn't get on the news if it was such a scene.
SMC22307
(8,090 posts)What news was it supposed to get on and who is claiming it was "such a scene"? Lexington is a small town tucked away in the mountains of SW VA. The restaurant is about 2-3 blocks from the main street. It's not like the DHS secretary being protested at the Washington, DC Mexican restaurant. The Red Hen is tiny, and the whole thing supposedly went down quietly and within minutes. There were supposedly seven in her party. One ordered Pellegrino, which was separated from the ABC (alcohol/liquor) section. I imagine the waiter could remember the drinks themselves but jotted down the brands, with "tequila" out there on its own since someone in the party wasn't particular about brand.

(8,090 posts)that delightful little mountain town. Not to mention VMI and Washington and Lee. My family and I were there last Saturday and stumbled upon the Red Hen because it's across from the visitor's center. I wanted to have dinner there, but was overruled... grr. I don't know the politics of the town, but denying service to a high-level Trumpkin seems like a pretty bold move. Saw a couple of Trump/Pence signs, a TON of Teabagger license plates, and a couple of oppressed white male biker dudes snarking about "toxic masculinity." I hope the community and out-of town visitors support this restaurant in a huge way!

WASHINGTON Sometimes we in the media leap before we look, once we smell a whiff of controversy. This is particularly true when the controversy is about Hillary Clinton.
Excuse me. I mean Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Once the media heard that's what she prefers to be called, a controversy was brewing.
After all, it is well known that she went by Hillary Rodham until her husband was voted out of the Arkansas governor's office in 1980. She only became Hillary Rodham Clinton when he ran to gain the old job back. No one can say how much it helped his chances, but it probably didn't hurt.

(21,629 posts)"Well, why is it okay to kick out SHS for being a Republican but bakers can't choose to express their religion?"
The context comes down to individual vs. group exclusion.
The Owner has the right to refuse service to any individual they don't feel like serving if they have a moral standing to refuse service. I'm sure the restaurant does not have a policy against GOPPers. But SHS as an INDIVIDUAL is a willing and complicit mouthpiece of a group of traitors. She is not just a voter or supporter, she is on the "ruling council" at the White house and an Owner should have the right to refuse here just like he/she should have the right to refuse hitler's "right hand man" or a KKK member or the guy that ran over his dog.
The difference with the baker is he is targeting someone who is simply a member of a group by birth. Whether they be black, Asian, trans, etc........... you should not be allowed to deny service because someone is gay just because they are gay. That gay person could be.......
a Nobel Prize winner
a janitor
an engineer
a secretary
a murderer
or a serial jaywalker
and none of that MATTERS because you are just throwing a blanket over the group "Gays" without any regard to the INDIVIDUAL.
