Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so

Here we go again.
There's a double standard.
If Obama's press secretary was told to leave a restaurant simply because of being an Obama administration employee, there would be outrage. Boycotts of the restaurant would be organized. Protests would take place. The owners would be targeted. All of Lexington, Virginia would be threatened with a boycott.
So, there's that.
As far as the Red Hen goes, obviously, it's a terrible restaurant. It's not a welcoming place, certainly not a place any conservative would want to dine.
I think Sarah and those with her should be thankful they were refused service. Who knows what the nutjobs at the Red Hen would have done to them? They could have contaminated their food or done something else to express their hatred toward them.
The Red Hen told the nation that Trump supporters are not welcome. They'd be wise to abide.
