The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia says that she refused service to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders because some of her gay employees were triggered over the Trump administration’s transgender military ban. The story went viral and people began comparing it to Christian conservatives who have been sued for refusing to bake wedding cakes for gay couples.

The owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, VirginiaĀ says that she bootedĀ White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders because her gay employees were triggered over the Trump administration’s transgender military ban, according to an interview she gave to theĀ Washington Post.

In a nutshell, Sanders was joining a party of eight booked under her husband’s name. The owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, was at home when her chef called to let her know that the staff was highly offended at Sanders’s presence:

Sarah Huckabee Sanders had just walked in and sat down, the chef informed her.

ā€œHe said the staff is a little concerned. What should we do?ā€ Wilkinson told The Washington Post. ā€œI said I’d be down to see if it’s true.ā€

ā€œTell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave,ā€ WilkinsonĀ told her staff, she said. ā€œThey said yes.ā€

SeveralĀ Red Hen employees were gay,Ā she said.Ā They knewĀ Sanders hadĀ defendedĀ Trump’s desire toĀ bar transgenderĀ people from the military. This month, they had all watched herĀ evade questionsĀ and defend a Trump policy thatĀ caused migrant children to be separated from their parents.

 

At the end of the night, staff members wrote on their employee whiteboard “86 Sara Huckabee Sanders” – a code for throwing someone out of an establishment. One of the servers photographed the whiteboard and posted it to his public Facebook wall.

After the story went viral, Sanders posted to Twitter: “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

People are already comparing the incident to the Christian bakery who was recently granted the right to refuse service to a gay couple over their religious beliefs. Liberals have suggested that conservatives have no right to have a problem with Sanders’ ejection, while conservatives are noting that liberals who had been fighting against exclusionary business practices are suddenly OK with Sanders being excluded.

Court Blocks Biden’s COVID Vaccine Mandate for US Federal Workers

March 26, 2023 NY Post 1

A prior injunction blocked the mandate in January 2022, only a few months after Biden issued the order, but nearly 98% of covered employees had already been vaccinated. Opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment on federal workers’ lives that neither the Constitution nor federal statutes authorize.

The Red Hen has the right to be political and refuse service to anyone it finds offensive. That said, remember that others have the right to boycott the Red Hen because they find it offensive, too. We are becoming a country where the Right won’t do business with the Red Hen, and the Left doesn’t do business with Chick-fil-a. This will eventually come to the point where anyone coming out of a Red Hen is suspected to be leftist and those who come out of a Chick-fil-a is assumed to be on the right. Then we will see which side… Read more »

What about banning someone because of their race, religion or just because of the fact that you don’t like what they look like. You don’t think like me so I don’t want you patronizing my business or I refuse to serve you. Where does it stop. Sanders ought to sue the place for discrimination plain and simple.
