Go to Face book and type in Historic Downtown Lexington - the community is upset about the situation.
Be fair, not "the community" but "part of the community". Many agree with the Red Hen owner. A local person runs the "historicdowntownlexingtonvirginia" booster Facebook page. It's nothing official.
No Trump fan but it's really a bad business decision. Customers come in all variations of political beliefs. The restaurant business is highly competitive. The last thing you want to do is create a controversy that reduces a potential customer base. The owner let her emotions run amuck and now she's probably going to pay a price.
“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...... 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."

She wanted to honor the staffs "feelings". Last time that will happen I bet ya.
Her dad the "ultra mega super-duper christian" didn't make things any better for her by immediately making a racist tweet worth of Richard Spencer and David Duke.
The owners explanation to me sounds like she needs to post a note on the door to say who is welcome and who not.
How rude to ask for someone to leave based on owners own words.
The left has now lowered the bar.
I’m counting the days till this restaurant will be closed. I bet many others will be appalled by this handling and not just Republicans who will stay away.
This is not refusing to serve but an already served partybeing kicked out for ridiculous reasons.
Or people should eat there and leave zero tip for rude employees and owner.
womp womp.
