Red Hen Owner Sides with Server Who Spit on Eric Trump
Breitbart ^ | 1 Jul 2019 | KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ

Posted on 07/01/2019 2:00:10 PM PDT by detective

The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, penned an op-ed in the Washington Post Friday defending a Chicago server who spit on Eric Trump.

Stephanie Wilkinson, who co-owns the restaurant known for kicking out former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, wrote in the op-ed while “no one in the restaurant industry condones the physical assault of a patron,” Trump administration officials can be targeted for assault and battery in public places.

Wilkinson added:

Restaurants are now part of the soundstage for our ongoing national spectacle. Whether the bar or restaurant serves merely as the backdrop, as in the cases last year of Kirstjen Nielsen, Stephen Miller, and Mitch McConnell, or takes an active role in the drama, as was the case with Cracker Barrel, Aviary or my own restaurant last June.

Eric Trump had been sipping cocktails at a Chicago cocktail lounge known as the Aviary on Tuesday when an employee of the bar spit on him.

Wilkerson, the owner of the Red Hen refused to serve Sarah Sanders and her guests and encouraged employees at the restaurant to follow Sarah down the street and yell at her and harass her after she left.

Wilkerson is very well liked by the Washington Post.

Her latest editorial in the Post claimed that it is good to spit on Eric Trump and any other member of the Trump administration person.

Both owner and server are wretched animals.

Assault is good as long as it involves assaulting these on the right. Spitting, beating, shooting. It’s all just fine.

Am I to understand Red Hen spits on Conservative’s plates to prove their hatred?

Why would anyone eat in a restaurant where food so fouled is acceptable to the owner?

The haters control social media. That’s why all the dems raised their hands about healthcare for illegals. If the hadn’t, SM would have exploded. And since the average dim voter has the attention span of a nat, it doesn’t matter what you stand for just as long as you’re not ravaged on social media.

Taking her cue from Maxine Waters, who has urged confrontations in public with Trump administration officials.

So there is no decorum, no standards of behavior if the target is someone Republican/conservative/associated with Trump.

And the envelope will get pushed into violent confrontations.

You’d think that with all the nuts out there , one of them would have taken a fancy to teaching the establishment a lesson . Nah, they’d rather prey on defenseless children in schools .

This is why you press charges no matter what. Then sue the establishment civilly for condoning the behavior.
