Anyone who has GC to that restaurant better use them very quickly....
Stephanie should have stayed at home that evening instead of running over and pooping in her own nest...she is entitled to serve whomever she wants...and the city and people of Lexington are entitled to be embarrassed and outraged by her actions...and ask her to step aside from her "positions" with the city as soon as possible.....As for the restaurant...
That "decision" (dictated by an employee?!?!?) was restaurant suicide....
I hope she sells a Lot of yarn....or can borrow money from Meryl to move back to NY....
(She says that she'd do the same thing again...not in a million, zillion years...you can bet on that....)
You are as thick as a 2 x 4. She was not in the restaurant for political reasons. It wasn't a campaign stop. She was there for a private dinner and had every right to criticize the restaurant on her personal FB or twitter, but instead she put it on her official account.
You are so invested in trump that you're incapable of reason. And don't pretend you're not, the posts show otherwise.

She knew Lexington, population 7,000, had voted overwhelmingly against Trump in a county that voted overwhelmingly for him. She knew the community was deeply divided over such issues as Confederate flags. She knew, she said, that her restaurant and its half-dozen servers and cooks had managed to stay in business for 10 years by keeping politics off the menu.

I doubt her business suffers.

So? Being harsh, ugly (inside), dishonest, and unethical are not protected statuses. It's funny how you vehemently supported the Xtian bakers' right to refuse service to gay couples, but don't think that a restaurant owner should be able to refuse to provide service to someone who offends *her* beliefs.

""And she knew — she believed — that Sarah Huckabee Sanders worked in the service of an “inhumane and unethical” administration. That she publicly defended the president’s cruelest policies, and that that could not stand.
"“I’m not a huge fan of confrontation,” Wilkinson said. “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”
"When she walked into the restaurant, Wilkinson saw that there had been no mistake. The Red Hen is no bigger than some apartments, and the group table was impossible to miss: Sanders in a black dress, her husband, three or four men and women of roughly similar ages, and an older couple.
"“They had cheese boards in front of them,” Wilkinson said. Like any other family. The kitchen was already preparing the party’s main course. Wilkinson interrupted to huddle with her workers.
"Several Red Hen employees are gay, she said. They knew Sanders had defended Trump’s desire to bar transgender people from the military. This month, they had all watched her evade questions and defend a Trump policy that caused migrant children to be separated from their parents.
"“Tell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave,” Wilkinson told her staff, she said. “They said ‘yes.’ ”
"It was important to Wilkinson, she said, that Sanders had already been served — that her staff had not simply refused her on sight. And it was important to her that Sanders was a public official, not just a customer with whom she disagreed, many of whom were included in her regular clientele."

This bigot's been in business for over 40 years because his customers don't care. https://kfor.com/2014/02/06/graphic-...iscrimination/
Why would it be any different for the owner of the Red Hen?
