Full Headline: Threats, Bad Reviews, Fake Bookings For Old Saybrook Restaurant After Sarah Huckabee Sanders Was Refused Service At Virginia Eatery With Same Name

On Friday night, about 525 miles from where White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was being booted from a restaurant called the Red Hen in Lexington, Va., the owner of an Old Saybrook restaurant was riding out the evening rush at her identically named eatery.

It was a typically busy night at the Old Saybrook restaurant. Shelley Deproto turned each of its 16 tables twice, she said, “doing what we always do — serving food and drinks and wine, making everyone comfortable.”

Deproto, who has owned the restaurant for five years, still had no idea what had happened at the Virginia establishment by 11 a.m. Saturday, when a pair of Google messages, like the first raindrops arriving ahead of a storm, informed her people were boycotting her restaurant.

Deproto typed back: “Who is this, and what are you talking about?”

Stay classy, deplorables. They're so fucking stupid they don't realize that a "Red Hen" in Connecticut is NOT where Scummy Huckabee Slanders tried to eat the other night.

Connecticut is NOT Virginia.

Connecticut Red Hen is. But still a geography problem -- Lexington, VA is not Old Saybrook, CT.

hypocrites out there in that you have a baker refusing to make a cake for a gay couple (and in fact, being allowed to discriminate), and then you have this hateful reaction to a business refusing to serve SHS and her party.

So what is it?

That one side can only be allowed to discriminate vs. the other?

Personally, in this case, in my opinion, the owner should have stepped up and served Sarah and her party (none of the workers didn't need to).

However, when I read the reaction by SHS and rump after she was booted out, the situation was made infinitely
worse, for ALL rump employees, in that any business in the DC area now would be crazy to serve anyone w/ any kind of a name associated w/ rump and the like, otherwise they risk it all by simply serving someone at the wrong time.

Rump even weighted in by making false accusations against the business, and the business should sue rump.
Another example of our so called president conducting affairs of the country, eh? Pathetic.
