Apparently, the Friday night special at The Red Hen was a steaming pile of anti-Trump bigotry.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and her family were told to leave the Lexington, Virginia restaurant because she works for President Trump.
TMZ reports the owner of The Red Hen refused to serve the Sanders group and did not want her in the restaurant due to “moral conviction.”
Sanders confirmed the incident on 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.”
Last week Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen was accosted by an angry rent-a-mob at a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C.

It’s nice to know the low-class bigot who owns Red Hen does not want Republicans or Conservatives eat at her establishment. Maybe she could post a sign on the front door: “No Patriots Allowed.”
Ms. Sanders and her family should consider dining instead at Chick-fil-A — where they are happy to serve anyone — regardless of political affiliation.
Bigotry. On the menu at Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA. Or you can ask for the “Hate Plate”. And appetizers are “small plates for small minds” https://t.co/rHEVdcQwwh
