The Republican Party is officially leading a boycott of a privately owned small business.
I’m in Lexington quite often since I live 30 miles away. I’ve never been to the Red Hen and now I never will.
MAGA and make the Red Hen the Dead Hen by spreading the word about this extremely leftist establishment. They are hypocrites and do not deserve our business. Eat at Chic-fil-A instead.
It is shameful to treat a public servant this way. This is no different form the way blacks used to be treated in the 50ty’s. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
If you didn't think Trump was a fraud and a terrible human being a month ago, I highly doubt the light bulb has come on in the past few weeks. His poll numbers are going to be terrible, but when election time comes around, the same people that were duped in 2016 will be duped again with the same nonsense. The only difference will be Hillary won't be around for people like sailor-moonz and palma to blame. Of course, that won't stop Fox News from bringing her up at EVERY turn. Not to mention whoever else they decide to label a boogieman to scare their base.
I love the lack of understanding in that last comment: "This is no different from the way blacks used to be treated in the 50s". Blacks were prevented from eating at "white only" restaurants because of their race. Sanders was privately (and politely) asked to leave because of the fact that she has chosen to work for - and is the primary spokesperson of - a POTUS who has discriminated against transgenders, some of whom happened to work in the restaurant she was visiting.
One can argue about whether it was appropriate for the owner to ask her to leave, but it is a totally different situation from blacks being segregated in the 50s and 60s (and earlier). SHS was asked to leave because of the choices she made, of her own free will, in becoming Trump's press secretary, and in supporting the administration's discriminatory practices, not because of her skin color or sexual orientation or gender.
