SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS BOOTED FROM RESTAURANT ... On Moral Grounds

[left-of-center2012]

Source: TMZ

A restaurant owner in Lexington, Virginia kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her party out of his restaurant ... on moral grounds.

The waiter at The Red Hen said, "I just served Sarah Huckabee Sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner kicked her out along with 7 of her other family members."
Others say the owner didn't want Huckabee Sanders in the restaurant out of "moral conviction."

This is the second time this week someone from the Trump Administration was drummed out of a restaurant. Earlier this week Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was booted from a Mexican restaurant near The White House.

The Red Hen's Yelp pages has blown up with glowing and damning reviews ... along political lines, of course.

1. 'What goes around comes around'

[olegramps]

21. Although I can't help from smiling, it isn't right.

I think they should have been respectfully waited while they waited hours for their order. Given plenty of fluids and apologies for the bathrooms been out-of-order.

[dhill926]

28. I like the way you think....

[TheBlackAdder]

33. I'm sure that wherever they go, they get "Yelper's Specials," even in many conservative restaurants.

.

.

[Liberalagogo]

2. I guess it's not fun when...

that "deeply held beliefs" BS comes back to bite you in your fat ass.

ADDENDUM: Barring Miss Scumbucket and her ilk from the restaurant on a "moral conviction" is not right, but that's the kind of world the RW wants. So if any wingnuts complain....fuck 'em.

[PatSeg]

9. What goes around, comes around

Apparently, the right thought THEY were the only ones with "moral convictions", just like they thought free speech was only for them.

[Liberalagogo]

10. That invisible hand sure does sting

went it slaps you across the face.

[PatSeg]

11. Yep, they should have seen it coming

Hey, maybe that is the reason that Sarah always has that pained expression on her face, the "invisible hand" must be smacking her after every lie. And here I thought it was just gas.

[Iggo]

52. They think it's all for them.

Freedom of speech.
Freedom of religion.
The right to keep and bear arms.
Free and open elections.
One person, one vote.
Life.
Liberty.
Pursuit of happiness.

It's all for them.
We can have some, but only if we're nice.

[PatSeg]

68. Then if anyone else claims those rights,

they become outraged and feel persecuted. Such narrow little minds.

[montanacowboy]

3. This needs to happen everywhere they go

They should be shunned and called out for their lies and their collusion with the fascist regime which day by day destroys this country

[kimbutgar]

4. This restaurant will not suffer

I bet there will be a line out the door of it tonight. These trolls usually are living in moms basement and don’t go out much, or it’s too far from Eastern Europe for the trolls to go to the restaurant.

I am glad these cretins are getting the treatment. It should be done to all those public people in twitlers administration.

[PatSeg]

7. "It's too far from Eastern Europe"

[janx]

27. The menu looks top notch.

Not a cheap place to eat, I'm sure.

[Frances]

5. The Huckabees can eat at Chick a Fill

and they can get cake at the bakery that refused to bake a cake for a gay couple

[JohnnyRingo]

31. Every day.

And it'll be good for her to fast on Sunday.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Or Papa Johns. nt

[Julian Englis]

6. I gave them a positive review. n/t

[Cha]

96. Thanks! I'm so far from Virginia.. but I could

say I like her style.. the Owner, Stephanie Wilkinson.. and she asked for a vote of her employees whether they wanted to kick her out or not.

[Scarsdale]

8. Do these people who work

at the WH have government issued credit cards to use for meals? I read about Kellyanne Conway earlier who was once hassled after eating. She paid the bill, waved it in the air and said "Thanks, taxpayers" Are we paying for them and their relatives to eat at fancy restaurants? Was the "most reverend pastor Mike" with Sarah for a free meal?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

84. If they are on official travel, meals are part of the per diem.

If they are on personal travel, they pay for their food the same as anyone else does.

[DesertRat]

12. Here's Sanders' tone-deaf tweet about it

Link to tweet

[leftynyc]

20. She's full of crap

She treats the press, and some individual reporters, with nothing but contempt. And takes pride in it.

[csziggy]

22. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a liar - she does NOT treat everyone with respect

Just ask the reporters in the White House pool, especially the man she attacked the other day when he was asking her about the immigrant children being separated from their parents. Sanders was not respectful, she was snide and obnoxious.

[DesertRat]

85. She's as rude and deplorable as her boss.

[Chemisse]

44. Really? Would SHE bake a cake for a gay couple if she owned a bakery? I don't think so. n/t

[sheshe2]

77. Lying to the American public...

Is NOT treating people respectfully, Sarah!

[keithbvadu2]

13. Super Christian Mike Huckabee raised a mighty fine liar in Sarah.

Super Christian Mike Huckabee raised a mighty fine liar in Sarah.

Wonder if they had family friends, child molesters Josh Duggar and Ted Nugent in their party?

[RoBear]

59. well, as i learned in biology class,

"ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"

[keithbvadu2]

82. Had to look it up.... Good one!

[Baitball Blogger]

14. These things always begin with cake. Have you noticed?

[DinahMoeHum]

15. "We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone"

. . .cuts more ways than one, Sarah HS.

[catbyte]

16. Man, that was a gutsy move for a restaurant in Virginia. I'll bet the hate from culters is

raining down on them nonstop. Kudos for having a conscience. I wish I lived closer so I could eat there.

[paleotn]

24. Definitely gusty...

Actually it's in Virginia. Lexington. Beautiful town in the Shenandoah Valley. But also a very conservo-nut area, and way too much Confederate nostalgia for my taste. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are buried in the area.

[catbyte]

38. Thanks for the correction.

[riverwalker]

29. The MAGAts are RAGING on twitter

Hope this blows over.

[left-of-center2012]

17. I'd like to have seen Sarah's face ...

I'd like to have seen Sarah's face when she was told to leave.

[trueblue2007]

65. she is a beast ..... worst than the character in the cartoon

#ToughLuckSarahHuckSanders go to a restaurant that allows liars, haters and traitors.

[Snellius]

18. "I've heard that they serve crow to those deserving of it."

One five-star review on Yelp read: “The best. I've heard that they serve crow to those deserving of it.”

[groundloop]

19. This saddens me, not for Sanders but for the country.

I can still remember from my childhood seeing segregated bathrooms and restaurants, it didn't make a bit of sense to me. It feels like we're receding back to those days, with the difference being that people will be excluded based on their political affiliation instead of their race. Of course Spanky and his lying staff and followers are 100% to blame for this, yet I still wish we could all be civil to each other and have honest discussions about our differences.

[Chemisse]

46. I agree. While I relish the sweet revenge, this is all part of a bad shift in our country. n/t

[July]

50. Respectfully disagree.

Segregated bathrooms, restaurants, waiting rooms, seats on the bus, schools, etc., existed to deny American citizens their rights under the law. Those Americans (African-Americans) had done nothing to deserve or earn that treatment.

It's wrong to exclude people on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, disability. Assholes, on the other hand, are not a protected class, nor should they be. It would be better if real discussion were possible, but SHS is enabling Trump's con against the American people. Her press gatherings are lie-fests. She HAS earned the desire of others to exclude her from their company.

[meadowlander]

74. +1

Also Sanders supports the "right" of business owners to refuse service to gay people and the "right" of health care workers to refuse to provide medical services which they don't believe people should have even though they are legal.

This is the natural outcome of that.

[treestar]

64. It 's not merely political affiliation

It is enabling the Orange Toxin. It is her thinking she is better than the rest of us and learning that ordinary people are not in awe of her.

[ck4829]

100. We saw Republican honesty in Alabama

When they almost voted in a theocratic sex offender thrown twice out of the court into the Senate.

[ascap_scab]

23. They should have posted a sign...

..."Trumpers not served here."

That would have made everything okay.

36. Jaike simply announced that she was asked to leave

by the owner of the place. Said she left politely with her in-law family (I'm assuming her husband also).

First post:

I just served Sarah huckabee sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner asked her to leave and she complied. Her family left on their own accord, we didn't actually refuse service or "kick her out"

Trumpsters are piling on.

[Chemisse]

47. Asked to leave kicking them out, minus the bouncer. n/t

[janx]

40. He also said that "jokes aside" she seemed like a nice person

who is very misguided and in over her head (my paraphrase).

41. Trumpster is now posting porn pics in the FB thread

53. This situation is totally different!!1!!1!

Being teh ghey is a choice, while this administration deserves our respect! Etc. Etc.

They’re all lame hypocrites. I’m enjoying the mental gymnastics of the people who were previously so adamant about restaurants’ rights. It’s like the book, Animal Farm, where the animals jumped through mental gymnastics to explain why everyone is equal, but some deserve special rights. “It’s totally different!!!1!”

Hypocrites and hacks, all of them!

[Funtatlaguy]

26. My restaurant says: No truth, no service.

It’s a religious liberty and freedom issue.

[Vinca]

32. What goes around comes around. If you treat people like shit eventually you'll be treated like shit.

I look forward to the day someone kicks Kim Jong Trump out of their establishment.

[ailsagirl]

34. It's good to know that KARMA is alive and well

[DFW]

35. Philosophical question

Is it even possible to deny on moral grounds service to someone who has no morals to begin with?

[gopiscrap]

37. All of us who can should donate

the price of a meal at this restaurant for a liberal or a refugee family

[keithbvadu2]

45. Ivanka had a patron removed from a restaurant where she was dining.

Ivanka had a patron removed from a restaurant she was dining in.

In a new low for Washington, yesterday @chefjoseandres was asked to leave the Alfalfa dinner after-party at @CafeMilanoDC by its owner, Franco Nuschesse, apparently because his presence made Ivanka Trump uncomfortable (Cafe Milano is the watering hole of the Trump Admin).

51. RWers a month ago - "All establishments have a right to refuse service, especially on moralistic

grounds!”

Now - “Dox those Libtards and sue them! I want this business destroyed!”

Dear angry right wingers - you’re all hypocrites. You’re showing your true colors here. You either have some standards for all, or none.

I am for having standards. Nobody should be refused service, including Sarah Huckabee. Yes - I’m defending her right to be seated at the business of her choosing. Right wingers - Why don’t you stop being such fucking hypocrites, and follow my lead?

You can’t have selective outrage for restaurants refusing service based on political affiliation, lest you out yourselves as hacks. Thanks for proving me right about your motives yet again!

[sellitman]

54. I don't agree with this.

Just like I don't agree with Bakers who won't bake cakes for people they don't like.

You can call it morals or religion or anything else.... It's not right.

Just my .02

[Equinox Moon]

60. This is the fake president being successful at dividing us.

Yes, it is emotionally satisfying to see these actions taken by citizens in the world. It also displays what trump has done to us.

I spontaneously had an aversion reaction to republicans at a parade recently. They had gone through the parade (as a group) promoting their political candidate and looked for someone to take a picture of them together. I asked if they were republican, a couple of them nodded yes. I acted like a person seeing something repulsive. I backed up, still facing them and got away fast. They all looked stunned by my repulsion.

[mr_lebowski]

78. I'm picturing that ... and it's a fucking awesome picture ... kudos! (nt)

[treestar]

66. They are the ones that want it that way

I say it is good for them to learn how it will actually work.

[7962]

71. You're right, but here you'll be in the minority. Which is sad.

Because apparently now its perfectly fine to discriminate against someone you dont agree with as long as its the "right" person.

55. Occasionally, justice is served

[axm]

56. I don't really care

Do u?

[Honeycombe8]

57. Isn't that illegal?

I'm happy to hear she was kicked out of anywhere, but isn't it illegal for a public establishment to kick someone out because they don't like them or because of their involvement or support of the separation of children? Like that bakery who refused to make a cake for the gay couple?

But as an aside, what IS it with the alt-right supremacists who are suddenly all getting a hankering for MEXICAN FOOD??? Are they totally tone deaf to the current situation? Or is it intentional?

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

62. No, being a reprehensible rw extremist is not a protected class! Being gay is - at least for now,

Im sure they're working on undoing that at some point in time.

[Honeycombe8]

92. LOL. "I'm sure they're working on undoing that..." LOL. nt

[Calista241]

104. It's still a bad precedent.

If you can deny someone service for behavior, political views, whatever, then there’s no stopping them.

I just have a visual of the Obama’s talking to a hostess, and she’s saying “we’re full” as the Obama’s look around at a 1/2 empty restaurant.

...as a crime against current children and all future generations.

I think it's pretty clear what the Repukes think about children, but it's less clear among some smug people on the left who don't give a shit about Chinese children living near cadmium mines so Westerners who don't open science books can fantasize that their solar cells would save the world.

Guess what?

The didn't save the world. They sucked a trillion dollars out of the world economy in the last ten years and don't produce 2 of the 578 exajoules of energy the world has been consuming each year. And you know who's gonna pay for this ignorant fantasy?

The people who are children.

I've been quite clear that I can support my case with science, since unlike the Repukes, I understand climate, what works and isn't working.

One of the essential scientists warning the world about climate change, who wrote a book dedicated to his grandchildren called Storms of My Grandchildren also wrote a widely read scientific paper on the internet showing definitively and irrefutably that nuclear power saves lives.

Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895)

I certainly agree with Doctor Hansen, and could easily produce many more references in support of his argument.

Now, if there are Republicans who support nuclear power, this does not mean anything about nuclear power, any more if there are Republicans who support farms means farms are criminal, but it's not like nuclear opponents are all that good at thinking, particularly when it comes to the use of logical fallacies.

Now, it is true that there are many stupid and ignorant people in the Republican party, but this does not imply that the only stupid and ignorant people are in the Republican party.

Regrettably, there are many on our side, and in my scientific opinion, those who so qualify are destroying the future.

Best regards. Have a nice Saturday evening.

[mr_lebowski]

95. Sheesh, man ... I was just messing witcha ... lighten up brother ...

I'm the one who's first cousin (one of two that I have) just retired from Diablo Canyon, SLO, remember?

You have a nice sat evening as well ...

[NNadir]

102. Sorry. I'm well known as a hot head on this issue.

I recognize it as a character flaw, but as an old man, I'm not all that good at addressing them.

I've heard a lot of "guilt by association" arguments here from people I didn't like.

Rather stupidly I engaged them too much, until I got smart enough to use the "ignore" button here, a wonderful tool that I advise other hotheads like myself to use. It at least will serve to reduce the probability of a stroke.

I couldn't remember you - sorry about that too - but now that you mention the Diablo Canyon thing, I do.

Please accept my apology.

[mr_lebowski]

105. No apology needed, like I said, I was messing with you ... all good 'old man' lol ...

Not exactly young myself ...

69. Maybe her and her swack can go over the place called Rebels and get some peace and quiet............

but I have funny feeling that since it has now been reported that all of the dating people in the trump universe are finding it harder and harder to get out and Rebels is getting exposed .................maybe they should take the hint..........your not fucking welcome.

And has for this manager, they do have a right to not serve..........................


Ate at the Red Hen.............really good food, and great service...................now I can add serving our country, for kicking enabling traitors ...........

They look like an American flag.
I actually like her as a person and feel sorry that she got trapped in to working for this admin. She seems eager to get out.

Yes, she's just a beacon of respect and civility. How uncouth of them to ask her to leave.

[Speaker to the Yanks]

86. She's still in the country where she grew up

Which cannot be said for many, many other Americans, thanks to her cretinous boss.

[jimlup]

87. So the RW trolls over at DI are obsessed with this

They will now harass. They even have a call repeatedly campaign..

I'd say anyone in Lexington should frequent as a customer if possible!

[janx]

91. I cannot believe the depraved level of discourse that is

taking place on social media over this situation.

The little restaurant itself is quite impressive. It's a local gourmet farm-to-table eatery, not cheap but not completely unaffordable for a special occasion.

[jimlup]

94. Yeah I think Trump must have carried all of the internet trolls

in his little treasonous s'election on 11-9-16, man the RW sicko's run high in the troll heaven that is "Discussionist"

A site that Skinner should be deeply ashamed of by the way.

Red Hen owner reveals she allowed employees to vote on booting Huckabee Sanders out of restaurant — and Sarah lost
Bob Brigham BOB BRIGHAM
23 JUN 2018 AT 15:54 ET

The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia explained why she ejected White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders from the establishment on Friday evening.

Speaking with The Washington Post, owner Stephanie Wilkinson acknowledged that she may have threatened the economic health of her small business with her principled stand, but said she would do it again.

“I’m not a huge fan of confrontation,” Wilkinson said. “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”

Wilkinson recounted how she was at home when she got a call informing her that Sanders was dining at the Red Hen, under a reservation made in her husband’s name. She raced to the business to investigate.

But if I am ever in Lexington, Virginia, I will be sure to drop by.

97. Stephanie Wilkinson was at home when her wait staff

called her to tell her who was in her restaurant. She came right over and asked them to vote whether SHS should be asked to leave or not.

I commend their choice.. why should sanders get to spew hateful LIES everyday and not be held accountable Somewhere Anywhere. We saw what the WHPC did to Michelle Wolfe when she called her on her lies.

I don't think I've ever spotted any Administration turds in a restaurant around here (though it is very possible I could, if I spent more time in restaurants). I would be more than happy to ask the owner to eject them if I do spot them. Now that Trump's SCROTUS has legalized discrimination on religious grounds, this is perfectly legal.
