You’ve likely heard by now that White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant over the weekend because of her ties to the Trump administration.
Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of the Red Hen, a farm-to-table restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, told the Washington Post that several of her employees are gay and were not comfortable serving Sanders, who regularly defends Trump’s anti-LGBTQ policies, including his ban on transgender people in the military.
After news broke that Sanders was asked to leave the restaurant, Republicans were quick to criticize the business owners, accusing them of discrimination.
Even Donald Trump himself took aim at the restaurant:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

But Republican strategist Ana Navarro put it best when she tweeted:
Some who defend baker’s right to refuse service to gay couples, whine re ppl refusing service to a person who’s the face of a deceitful Administration. What’s good for the goose, is good for the Red Hen. Difference is, being gay is not a choice. Being an accomplice to Trump, is.

Now check out some of the memes…

Interesting how the owner lays the blame on the gay employees…she cannot make a decision herself? Nah, she is marketing the restaurant, when they come for her she’ll fire the gays and say “everything is okay now”
DCguy
Translation: You have nothing to say and were hoping you could put up a random word salad to deflect from the fact that Sanders is being held to account for her bigotry and hate.
DHT
TO DCguy…GTH…this was the owner’s decision solely…the fact that she has said that she asked her gay waiters what they wanted her to do is pure deflection. She did what she wanted to do, not what they wanted her to do, she is using them as an excuse.
DCguy
Anybody notice that the account that typically defends anti-LGBT bigotry (DHT) responded to my post with a response that literally has nothing to do with what I said?
That is trolling 101, pretend that a completely different conversation took place because they can’t respond to the actual one.
My comment was about Sanders being held responsible for her personal behavior, and they try to pretend there is some discussion as to whether staff was involved.
Nice try.
DHT
Anyone notice how DCGuy said I did exactly what he did when he responded to my original comment? So now we know that DCGuy is the actual homophobic troll and it is still the case that the owner blamed her gay employees for the action she took.
DCguy
What I find interesting about this are a few things.
1. Sanders was asked to leave because of her personal activities and behavior, she wasn’t discriminated against for being Republican, she was asked to leave because she has advocated for policies legalizing discrimination against LGBT people, for lying to the public and for advocating taking kids from their parents.
2. When Republicans have fought to allow businesses to discriminate against entire groups for being born a certain way, they don’t get to cry that somebody was asked to leave a restaurant for her own actions. I didn’t see Republicans cry when O.J. Simpson was kicked out of restaurants for the same reason….he was being held responsible for his own activities.
3. Even better is the B.S. fallback the GOP has about “Civility”. That is the bigots final gambit. They will push for a law that will directly harm you but if you get upset they say “My My My, why are you being uncivil”. So in other words, Sanders can advocate for laws directly harming, causing the suicides of, or turning into second class citizens all #LGBTQ people, and for laws basically allowing kidnapping of children, but heaven forbid somebody points that OUT to her!! How uncivil!
Bob LaBlah
Its called revenge against the baker and the wedding cake ruling. I also get the impression that she has an expense account and a few of those gay employees saw it the same way as I did. Why should we have to pay to stuff Petunia?
Bob LaBlah
I thought the mime of her and Hunger Games was funny but to me she comes off as an overweight Xena. Considering how she bends the truth for her lord and master its a good thing she didnt get up out of that chair, do her scream, pull out her Chakram and start defying the laws of physics like Xena can do. lol

Well, she wasn’t “kicked out”. She was politely asked to leave and she politely left. She (they) ate, the house picked up the tab and that was that.
No need to get all hyperbolic about the incident. Yes, she defends what has become the most corrupt administration in U.S. history and she lies a lot, too. The story is worth reporting and the memes are spot-on, but the buck stops with the Despicable Donald Dotard, his “administration” and the complicit Republicans, even those experiencing some cognitive dissidence , who continue to kowtow to greed, arrogance, power, denial and deflection.
Even George Will is saying vote for Democrats this fall. Whew!
Happy Pride Month to all.
DHT
You are equivocating…being asked to leave, or being “86ed”, is exactly being kicked out.
Mick406
Some of the memes were funny, but count me out as a ‘joiner’. I found this whole thing to be despicable. How childish to throw her out of an eating establishment. She is not a liar. She simply conveys the message of the White House. The left is filled with evil-thinking-losers. Chew me up and spit me out if you wish, but this sort of thing should never happen to ANYONE! Unless you smell real bad! I think she does a great job while standing there absorbing all the hatred from the media corrupters. I could say I hope this restaurant fails, but that would make me be just like the owner: Uncivilized.
DHT
I agree with you…no one deserves to be humiliated in public. This really doesn’t do anything but make gays look petty, like the owner couldn’t trust her employees to act with civility to someone they disliked. Have we already forgotten the lessons learned from the previous administration?

If you think you she’s not a liar, you obviously have never listened to her. And when somebody repeats a lie that they know was a lie it makes them a liar too. Republicans have consistently advocated for the right of free association, yet when it doesn’t work out in their favor look what they do. Also if she was truly as civil as she says she is she never would have posted this knowing full well the reaction of her supporters. The restaurant is closed due to threats of violence. So who is the victim the restaurant owner or Sarah fat ass?
DCguy
If you’re trying to pretend you aren’t a new screename for the anti-lgbt accounts you may want to avoid using the phrase they always used “The Left”.
Also, I totally get that the narrative you are trying to push is that Trump supporters never do anything wrong, but trying to say Sanders doesn’t lie, when she has multiple verifiable lies was a bad choice. You need to take the First Lady’s advice and #BeBest

Mick406 Huckabee is a liar and Trumps puppet. She is week. DHT you and MICK406 come off as trolls.
Both of you, if you love Trump and Huckabee so much there are plenty of Pro Trump sites you can share you BS with. These people are full of hate. Wait until the new Supreme Court Justice is appointed by Trump. More hate and bigotry will be levied against LGTBQIA and women will suffer. Trump destroyed all civility when he started tweeting his hate. No other President has ever stooped so low and has tried to split the nation the way he and his supporters have.
David Myers
What have you been smoking, if you think “she is not a liar”? “She simply conveys the message of the White House”? Those who repeat the lies of the liar in chief to the press are also liars! Are you saying she was “just following orders”? How did that work out for the Nazis’ chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels (Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda . . . his actual title), who infamously stated, “Tell a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.” and “The bigger the lie the more they will believe it.”

The funniest part of this is that the Red Hen will lose business, Republicans will keep the house and senate come November, and all the while Democrats will be scratching their heads and saying to themselves, “We did everything we could to destroy Trump—to destroy the very fabric of America—and yet the only lemmings to heed our calls for violence and incivility were fire-starting 20-year-olds wearing masks…..where did we go wrong, America? Why hasn’t our message of hate and intolerance swayed you to our side?”
Sinfully delicious shit, this is.
Aires the Ram
@Brody, I have always said, “let them keep talking”. The more they try to spin their hateful rhetoric, the more they show their a&ss to all of the voting public. Advocating the kidnapping and rape of the Presidents son, cabinet members being run out of restaurants, Maxine Waters spewing her hatred and advocacy for those who see cabinet members, to confront them and make a scene. All of this, that is supported and advocated by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC & PBS, is going to go very badly if it is not stopped. Somebody will get killed, riots will ensue, some city will find itself under marshal law, and many will die. What the left, which includes the mainstream media is doing, is very un-American, very unconstitutional, is very totalitarian, and will lead to death. I truly believe they will not stop “talking”, and that the scenario I depicted above, will actually happen. That will be a very bad time.
Bob LaBlah
Wow! It sounds like you two are striking at the very conscious of God fearing white America. Those are disturbing facts you guys pointed out in your comments (Brody and Aires the Ram). Not only that but:
And as the storm clouds gathered,
across the sea,
let us pledge allegiance,
to the land of the free,
Better yet, just sit back, listen and think back to the days when America stood for something, as I’m sure you both do constantly as I do. Its always nice to know their are other patriots out there who feel the same way as we do down here. And remember, it aint over till the fat lady sings, or in this case it aint over ol’ Celeste deletes the comment. Enjoy. lol

Ah! Thank God for sane posters as you Brody and you Aries . . .
I never like Trump at all long before he became President. But since he has been in office, for the life of me, I can’t find all these ‘lies’ that he’s been telling. I know he jabs at people in tweets and some of them are inaccurate, but where are the REAL lies he has told that is so harmful to the country, to YOU, leftist, liberal Democrats?! The man is doing a great job in turning this country around. I have been a life-long Democrat (age 70) but the Dems of ‘my day’ no longer exist.
Pure ignorance to think this country can have open borders and flood it will illegals. Pure ignorance to think we should let every Muslim in the world in here because they are ‘a religion of peace’. Pure ignorance is the ilk of Mad Maxine and Pelosi.
I want someone to post one of the REAL big ‘lies’ on here so we can honestly assess it. And don’t come off with that “he hates gays” crap. I’ve never seen it. I’ve never understood why ‘our sector’ of Americans are so damned liberal and always pissing and moaning about their treatment. Those with class and dignity don’t get mistreated. Hell, I bet I could have got a cake from that baker by just going in and being polite and not pushing my ‘gayness’ on him. Flashing your ass in public will get ANYONE arrested or thrown out of a business.
I’m sick and tired of the behavior of a large part of the gay society. You fan the flames. You can’t be satisfied. And truth be known, you have no idea why you hate Trump and you just do it because someone else got in a snit over him. You love your country, or do you love anger, anarchy, and chaos? GROW UP and learn to get along!!!!
Brody
Aires –
Truer—and scarier—words were never spoken.
A poll on Twitter the other day had 92% fearing that violent liberals are intentionally moving us closer to a civil war.

I too once considered myself a Democrat . . . . until they got hijacked by the socialist extremists.
My husband was once a Republican . . . . until they got hijacked by religious extremists.
DCguy
Wow, the “Brody” and “Aries” screenames are back? Cylest must have really decimated your other account screenames if you’ve brought these two old warhorses out of the stable.
Lets see, over 30 seats have flipped from GOP to Democrat in special elections since Trump was elected. In Az which currently has a GOP senator the Democrat is ahead by double digits, In Nv the Democrat is ahead, and FL the Dem is ahead. That is just for the Senate.
In the house the average swing to Democrats in special elections has been 16 points which would put around 100 house seats in danger for the GOP.
So I’m not sure why you bother trying here. We all know your screename, we all know that you are on here to support anti-lgbtq bigotry and we all know that you do not use facts.
Mick406
Bob LaBlah . . . LOVED IT! You got your message in just before I sent mine, or I would have included you like I did those other two fine posters.
I remember ole Kate singing that. I always get goose bumps when I hear it. It needs to be sung a lot more often. It was good to read a message from another patriot. I served in the military for many years, and all that is in my heart is to love this country that has given me so much, and treat everyone fair. I’ll never understand why there are so many on this web site who are always boiling over about how they have been bashed and hurt. I’m sure some have, but this hasn’t happened to me and I think I know why. I keep a low profile and I don’t get out in public and flaunt my sexuality. I don’t want other ‘normal’ people to get in my face either.
Aries . . .your comment about all the fomenting anger and threats possibly leading to riots in cities, is spot on! I have this fear too. We have inner city, drug dealing, unemployed people just waiting for an excuse to do some looting and burning. Should this happen, Maxine Waters should be put in prison for inciting riots.
Thanks to you . . . . all you guys who love this country, who are patriots, and live in gratitude for what we’ve got. Thank you for balancing this page out. Writing on here is like trying to swim upstream at times!!!
Bob LaBlah
@Mick406…”I keep a low profile and I don’t get out in public and flaunt my sexuality. I don’t want other ‘normal’ people to get in my face either.”
Honey, at 70 years old don’t you think its best that you DO keep a low profile and at this point of your life not flash your pancaked, er, um, your buns? Oops, now I’ve gone and done it. It was NOT my intention to awaken ol’ Sister Celeste Brookes and her magic finger of deletion but your comment about liberal dems and my response to your comment overall will no doubt be interpreted as offensive to older readers regardless of political affiliation. Damn, we still can’t win, huh? I tell you, its just a damn war regardless of how you look at it and its time to rally the choir, robes and all. (Trust me, its IMPOSSIBLE to be more conservative than this bunch I’ve posted and don’t let that one or two of them in the crowd fool you). lol lol Enjoy. lol lol
