By Stephanie Wilkinson May 14 at 9:22 AM Stephanie Wilkinson is the co-owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Va.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 we didn’t do or say the things you do. Get over it, before it’s too late! BTW, there are a lot more of us than there are of you.
Faced with the prospect of serving a fine meal to a person whose actions in the service of our country we felt violated basic standards of humanity, we balked. We couldn’t do it. In the days following, I tried to balance fears for the safety of my family and staff against the reality of being well-protected in a small, loving community.
The realness of that mail struck me. Paper correspondence carries all the marks of genuine humans, people who feel strongly enough about the whole event that they take on all those little tasks of letter writing — tracking down paper or card, composing their thoughts, handwriting or printing it out, locating our address and getting it into the mail.
That's cool, but I have feeling their biggest supporters would be the most incensed had someone done this to someone in the Obama administration.
Really, what's in the soup?
Iam surprised Sarah Sanders eats isn't she a robot. Just spouts out what individual 1 wants people to know.
Cool. Now do the restaurant that refused to do the gay wedding cake. I’ll wait...
PhilippeReines I can go to sleep happy tonight after reading this- thank you for the update- and for the Red Hen💙🇺🇸🙏🏻
Big deal you own a restaurant and was rude. Other then that what is your point? Hate fits your purpose that's it. Wouldn't eat there even if you payed me to. Maybe you need to change your ways. ESD
Now do Jack Phillips
Yay!
Perspective from a **different** Red Hen restaurant owner in CT: 'We are not here to impart our own political opinions on anyone. Refocusing on that during this whole mess kept us grounded.”
Conservatives are the real resistance. Leftist turds want communism with zero freedom.
Except she lied. She followed them down the road screaming like a banshee. Nothing peaceful about it. That restaurant needs to go.
You are a hero!!!
PhilippeReines The Borgs are not pleased.
Is there any difference between a restaurant refusing to serve Sanders on there ideals and a Baker refusing a patron on religious ideals. Where do we draw the line?
Standing on principles makes one feel good about themselves also. Not sure how these people live with themselves and their lying for Trump. I believe they will pay the price down the road. Their children will grow up and see them in history. I know it is their job, but
You have a place to eat. You should have more common sense than you apparently have. Plus you have no customer service. You have NO CLASS either.
Hell yeah, Red Hen!
Sickening and terrible how could u treat another human being namely Sarah with such disrespect you should be ashamed of yourself
I wouldn’t let a lying piece of garbage who thinks it’s perfectly fine to discriminate against Muslims and LGTBQ in my establishment either.
Except this isn't at all what happened. You and your employees started a rabble and followed her out of restaurant into another one. If you are so proud of your actions, why did you lie?
When we go to Washington I will make sure to give you our business
I can’t stand Sarah Sanders, but is business slow? Why the second bite at the same apple. Also, the drama, jeez o man, move on.
_meenan So brave
This woman should be proud of what she did
I so happy for you! Keep up good work! Resist
Good stuff!
You serve possum? Grits? Fatback?
So refusing to cater a wedding for religious beliefs is unacceptable to you hypocrites, but refusing service for Sanders is ok?
What i dont understand is she claims she asked Sanders to leave because 'Trump was separating families at the border'. But, Obama was doing the same thing. Children were separated and the given to work farms or sex traffickers. Ms. Wilkinson didnt say a peep or kick anyone out.
Love this!
Love all the replies from people in West Bum Fuck, Nebraska saying they’ll never eat there. Way to stick it to them.
That's Great that their business is doing good! All They had to do is shit on another innocent human being! Way to go Stephani Wilkens, what a fine example of tolerance you set! You must be so proud.
But you are.
How inclusive
BoSnerdley We’ll show this woman how effective her “resistance” is in 2020. This owner needs to understand the fact that her guy, Obama, implemented the separation of children policy at the border. If she threw Obama out, she’d be branded a racist & she’d be shutdown.
Love trumps hate, right?
Bottom line 'my restaurant is still open,and I'm still an asshole'
So you openly discriminate. And are hate filled. We get it.
Crazy restauranteur doesn't deserve to be in business Contaminated mind makes contaminated food
Funny you asked Sarah to leave and she handled with tolerance. Unlike the left and how they handle things. Funny who ended up being classy and who didn't. And who let their politics show.
In all honesty I don't know why you asked her to leave. Like you said she wasn't rude. I guess being white regardless of gender it's alright to treat them horribly.
She should miss a few meals.
StandOnPrinciple This is a very hopeful article that it is always right to do what is right, even though you collect some enemies along the way
Well, well, well, you think it's been long enough to stick your beak back in the swamp. Go for it, we and POTUS are ready to resume the war.
Anyone that supports this persons actions should not be in buisness....and neither should this establishment....in this Country you should be able to like who you want politically and be able to go out for dinner without getting harassed end of story
👏🏽
Cook the food, serve the customer, and shut up.
Lol. Runs a bigoted restaurant, is surprised that people are outraged that they run a bigoted restaurant.
Sad day when we resort to this. They have a business that should be open to anyone. But I guess if you disagree with them they don't have to serve you. Wasn't there the case with the Baker refusing to serve a gay couple. Both of these are not the way.☹
Yeah it’s good advertising too!
This woman will be remembered for her courage. Sanders will be remembered for standing at a podium and lying to the American people and the world. Best of luck Red Hen.
I'm so happy for you. You did make a difference. Thank you.
Oh yes it is.....sucker.
Is that a bus stop?
Maybe talking about things is better then refusing to serve someone because of who they are , I think its foolish to be so selfish
BoSnerdley Were you in the group that followed the Sanders party across the street to further harass them?!? No matter what your “cause” , your behavior and others of like mind, was atrocious
Only open 16 hours a week. Closed 2 days a week.That's a hobby. She can afford to offend people.
I bet you enjoyed Trumps tax cut.
The Red Hen is enjoying Trump’s tax cuts.
pixiekat666
Did you clean up or replace that nasty awning ?
did they ever wash that filthy awning?
Nice story but I think she is lying about her success. I want to see the last 5 years tax returns.
It’s a free country.
For starters, this author and owner of the restaurant is so stupid as to believe that ONLY the Trump admin. separated children from illegals crossing the border. Obama had the same policy. Bush too. So, I can’t read any more of this garbage. So stupid.
Sounds fantastic. Just don't get pissed when you get discriminated against.
When I eat there, I will leave an upper decker in your bathroom.
And I would never patronize your business...
Shame on you
She endangered other Americans w/her PAID government position. That’s a fascist move right there. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. fireSanders
Was your restaurant named after the famed book, 'The Little Red Hen?' If it was, it would be ironic that you as the owner would adhere to a world view which is contrary to that of what the book teaches--accountability and self-reliance.
Sanders should have never put another American citizen in danger w/government position. Facist move.
America is awesome, isn't it. You can do with your private business whatever you want and I can eat and spend my $ wherever I want. And we can both go our happy ways. Simply the greatest nation in the world. And Trump is the president of all Americans. What a great country!
What you didn’t realize is all of those pics of children in cages was from the time period of the Obama administration.
I would suspect that Sarah doesn't leave a tip.
You should have a pedophile appreciation day. Let all those sex traffickers bring their trophies in for a meal. Light some candles, put on some Julio Eglesias. Make it real romantic. stopseparatingtrophies
Good. This whole administration is shit, and these liars and criminals should be scorned and ridiculed.
The tossing of Ms. Sanders put the owner in a blowback position. As a businessman, I treated ALL my customers with respect and gratitude. Result: satisfied and loyal customers and no blowback.
The Resistance embarrasses themselves daily.
This owner is an asshole. Resisters are the worst people on earth. They don’t do anything to help they just resist. Next time I drive by this crap restaurant I will stop by with my MAGA hat on. MAGA
The menu at Red Hen.
Great job 😊
So tolerant and open minded, the left keeps proving that their not either of those things.
Rude.
Remember to ‘just bake the cake’, Lefties.
I wouldn’t set foot in your restaurant. Your hate for the President, whom I’m sure you have never met is pretty sad. And to ask someone to leave because they work for him is equally sad. This is why there is no getting along with Liberals the stupidity amazes me
Looks very upscale classy valet parking available?
I’m a LexVA resident and to have a restaurant of this caliber in our tiny community of 7,000 is spectacular.
I’m placing an order for your spice blend today!!
When are you and those who believe as you learn manners? Please reread history, many of these policies have been in place for a long time. You are so upset about the immigration policy? Tell your politicians to quit dithering and do something. I have tried as well. Thank you.
Pitiful!!!! The hate is in the Democrat party!!
If they can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen
Great read, glad you persisted!
Your free to do that.
It's great to hear some good news once in a while.
Contrary to their self-serving claims, Resistance Cult Democrats are NOT doing anything noble or respectable. They are dividing the USA, treating good people rudely and unfairly, and falsely attacking our duly elected President Trump and his tens of millions of supporters. Scum.
If Americans were good people you, both, would be out of business.
Heh...lots of triggered MAGA butthurt here. 😛
Does anyone remember if she refused service to Democrats when Obama separated children from families at the border?🤔
Sarah Sanders ought to be asked to leave the country. She cannot tell the truth it seems and spouts Fake News incessantly. All pathological liars should lose their citizenship.
Sh!t sandwich.
Feigned courage.........You didn't ask her to leave because of anything she said or did. You assumed her identity like a nosy Maoist--and refused service because of an **American political affiliation. Are Republicans the only party against which you stand
I wouldn't think her ego could fit in such a small building
Evil restaurant
Being an ignorant bigot is not standing on principle. If so asking Rosa Parks to go to the back of the bus would apply. That said, idiots such as this always double down on stupid. And the WP give them a voice.
We’re resisting!
Nice way to celebrate bigots, WaPo!
How is this news? Oh wait, if its a conservative refusing to bake a cake, close them down! But lets harass a Trump Admin official because leftists actually think it means something. It just makes them look like a bunch of assholes. But hey we still know WaPo hates Trump.
Resistance isn’t futile - it’s stupid.
Ms Piggy
BoSnerdley Red Hen is fascist
So your “resistance” has accomplished exactly what?
The people on the right who complain about this kind of treatment, they’re the same ones who support the right of a homophobe to refuse service to an LGBTQ person.
BoSnerdley What’s next? A bakery refusing to bake a cake for someone they don’t agree with?
BoSnerdley The tolerance is blinding me!!!
The worlds greatest restaurant!!
MrJonCryer Well they should
Yes, because bots don’t eat and trolls never leave their basements. TheResistance is real people. 🌊
boycott
Imagine if this was done by a GOP member to TheDemocrats during the BarackObama era when he was importing Somalians into America? I guess u would be responded like crookedthing (HillaryClinton) by calling them deplorables as she called GOP (fellow Americans)?
What principle did you stand on exactly?
It absolutely isn't futile! If more people stood on principle, we might not be here.

It’s awesome to belong to a party that doesn’t do this type of things.
Ask her to leave the white house while your at it.
Grow up. Throwing someone out of your restaurant because of a different set of political views is immature and extremely intolerant. And stop exaggerating about the current administration; all of this “evil”, “immoral”, “racist”, etc...talk is completely inaccurate exaggeration.
The Washington compost. I hope the Red Hen Restaurant is out of business.
Hey, I kicked a woman out of my restaurant...ain't I brave? Look at me and eat at my restaurant, but check your political affiliation at the door...we brave females only like Dem clones and anti-semites
GTFOSarah
To the writer: You were correct that Sarah Sanders should be an unwelcome guest. Being the PR front to an obscene, inhuman, and unethical administration is worthy of scorn. Her ensuing actions bolstered that. I'm glad business is good. We need more like you, less like her.
Your still garbage, “marginalized people” “tolerance” I wonder what the median income of these people pouring in is.
There are no small restaurants only small owners.
Question,,,resisting what exactly? Old recycled Op Ed.
The tolerant left...
And followed her across the street like a stalker.
“The Democrat Party has turned its base literally rabid with insanity and rage.” - Rush Limbaugh
You are an idiot
You didn’t ask Sara to leave, you asked 63 million Trump voters to leave, and we did! Live with your decision! Stopthelies
Liberals are rude
Wow, you're so brave (and tolerant).
so you are a bigot.....I am not shocked
Ran out of Russia stories? 😂😂😂
Slow news day? Resistance to what? A booming economy and jobs? Controlled borders?
Only to a Satanist is 'Resistance not futile'...
LOL
Red Hen Restaurant- Thank you Patriots!
Public officials need to know what the public thinks.
