The co-owner of the Virginia restaurant that refused to serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has resigned from a local business group.

News outlets report Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of the Red Hen, resigned Tuesday as executive director of Main Street Lexington. […]

The Red Hen has not reopened since that night. Protests continue, with one man being escorted away by police after throwing chicken manure. …

"Wonder how that slipped by me."

Too much winning?

Good news like this deserves a 2nd posting

I hope all the fags at the Red Hen that wanted her thrown out enjoy being out of a job

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Good one

Now I’m reminded of Proverbs 29:6. The latter half was certainly the Obama years.

Thanks.

Now I see where W got the “evildoers moniker.

Mixed reports on reopening on the 5th or closing permanently. I think there was a report she was looking for a buyer. Bet her staff are out looking for new work. Serves them right.

Good odds on some of the “protesters” being card-carrying leftists from nearby Washington & Lee University.

A Red Hen should have known better than to mess with somebody named Sanders. It’s not rocket science.

Awesomely hilarious!! Good one!!

LOL!

Leftists at W&L? Place must have really changed lately. When my daughter and I visited back in 2006 or thereabouts, it was incredibly conservative. We sat in on some classes and wandered around trying to be inconspicuous, I think we got a pretty good feel for the place.

Obviously not as conservative as VMI next door, but still . . .

Indeed, no pity for them, none. The stupid owner wasn’t even there when Sanders and party came in. One of the staff called her at home and asked her “what should we do” as if it was some crisis that a customer wanted to be served, like any other customer. So she went there to confront Sanders, after conferring with the staff, and they all agreed.

I hope the staff that instigated this have to find other jobs.

What did 0bama say? “Actions have consequences.”

[Olog-hai]

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won. So I think on that one, I trump you.”

He said that to Eric Cantor. It was at a closed-door meeting where they were discussing his infamous stimulus packages.

I hope the staff that instigated this have to struggle for years to find another jobs.

FIXED.

They didn’t handle Title IX too well in the early 2010s. At the very least, they enabled their coordinator to do some very dishonorable things with it.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

Why is this “news”?

Did they not ever notice that news has the word “NEW” in it?
