Outside the Red Hen, fire and ire on social media come to life

Four days after the owner of the Red Hen restaurant stirred national debate by asking White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave her establishment, all the fire and ire of social media was made flesh at the corners of Washington and Randolph streets.

The quaint red restaurant, its dirty green awnings made famous by a disapproving tweet Monday from President Trump, was scheduled to open for dinner service at 5 p.m. Protesters began showing up around 3.

At first, it was just two guys holding Trump banners, a Confederate flag and a Corey Stewart for U.S. Senate sign. Standing in a steady rain, mobbed by three or four TV crews who had been stationed across from the darkened restaurant since morning, the pair said they were there to call for civility.

“Just to let these people know that we don’t appreciate their communism and their kicking out our public servant,” said Chris Wayne, 35, of Monterey

Meanwhile at the Red Hen...

A man in a green hat and black shirt went up to the Confederate guys and yelled in their faces: “Trump is a chump!” Asked by a reporter to identify himself, the man declined — and offered a business card for the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Police cordoned off the block in front of the Red Hen on Tuesday. One man was arrested after he dumped chicken waste in front of the shuttered eatery.

“In fact, a little known part of this story, is that after Sarah and her husband left and the family relocated to a restaurant across the street, the owner of the Red Hen then organized an effort to go and scream at them from the sidewalk at the other restaurant,” Huckabee claimed in an interview on “The Intelligence Report with Trish Regan.”

“Finally, one of Sarah’s in-laws, who happens to be very liberal, it’s her brother-in-law, went out in the street and said, ‘Look, Sarah’s already left. She didn’t stay for obvious reasons. She’s had all she needs tonight. The rest of us are trying to have dinner. I’m a liberal. I’m not a Trump supporter. But you guys aren’t helping our cause,’” Huckabee went on to say. “So, it wasn’t just what happened in the Little Red Hen restaurant, it’s what happened ongoing by the owner of that restaurant.”

From a few days ago...

When said that this would destroy the business, the employee responded: “My boss, the owner, kicked her out, not me. … Best publicity we could hope to have thank you very much.”

Oh, wait. The "shuttered eatery". How's that publicity working for ya now...

“Saying she was from Michigan but traveled the country preaching, she held a sign that said “LGBT — Let God Burn Them.” Her companion, Edgar Orea, began railing against “Sodomites.””

It does not sound as if they are staying on topic.

Maybe the Clintons could hold their next foundation fund-raiser there?

Red Hen closed until July 5th! They are staying home during the 4th of July because Fireworks and Flags scare people with low “T”!

"It’s not really live and let live,” she said. “I feel our current administration has really crossed lines on a lot of our rights as citizens.”

WTF?

#4: "Oh, wait. The "shuttered eatery". How's that publicity working for ya now."

The "gay waiters" are probably all on food stamps anyway. The witch who charges $28 for a pork chop, probably pays minimum wage.

I’ll bet it’s not working out well at all.

Her business is shuttered and from what I hear it won’t re-open until the 5th of July.

It costs money to keep a place open.

Good luck with that lady...

(well, not really)

Just once, I would like to calmly ask those who make claims like this:

NAME ONE RIGHT THAT IS ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

They throw out stupid premises and people are cowed.

You what, that’s what she believes. The Leftist media has said so, so it must be true.

I’ll bet she can’t give you one instance where he has taken away a right.

These people think/reason on a child’s level.
