Highly literate Republican Party of Virginia has a message for "Red Hen and it's liberal supporters"

The party that nominated a man who calls an anti-Semitic white supremacist “one of my personal heroes,” to become a U.S. Senator has just started a boycott of a local restaurantthat asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave.

The Republican Party of Virginia, in a grammatically-challenged post on its website, says: “The liberal owner of the ‘Red Hen’ restaurant in Lexington threw out Sarah Huckabee [sic] in the middle of dinner just because she works for President Trump! Once again the intolerant left has shown its true colors.”

“Sign the boycott petition below so we can show the Red Hen and it’s [sic] liberal supporters that patriotic Trump supporters are the silent majority in Virginia!” The Virginia GOP’s chosen nominee who is running against Democratic Senator Tim Kaine is Corey Stewart. His personal hero is Paul Nehlen.

Of course, practically none of what the Virginia GOP wrote is accurate.

Can't say I've been to Lexington in a long time but given that it only has 26 seats and from the menu (the soup is $8 for crying out loud - Blues Brothers)I'd bet it's hard to get in there.

That's why Virginia has gone blue in the last three presidential elections and just elected a Democrat to the governor's house by a nearly double digit margin.

Sarah was requested to leave and did so by her own choice.
She was not denied service.
Maybe she would have been denied if she decided to stay but it was her choice to leave.

Then she lied about it using her official White House account.

Par for the course.

Of course, Republicans writing in Republicanese should surprise no one.
