The consequence of a restaurant simply asking Donald Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Smith, to leave got violent. No, the anti-Trump protesters were peaceful. It was a Trump cult followers who was arrested.
Police arrested one man outside of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia for throwing something disgusting at the building. All that the people who worked for their living in the small diner did was follow their own convictions.
Sanders tweeted, criticizing the restaurant owner:
‘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.’
The restaurant employees could no longer serve someone who helped put babies, toddlers, and children in black sites. People are using their right to protest the Trump administration in creative ways.
Then, the arrested man who was arrested threw a bunch of chicken dung in the midst of a Trump cult protest , according to ABC 13 WSET. He yelled “Make America Great Again!” Ironic.

Restaurant owner, Stephanie Wilkinson told The Washington Post:
‘I’m not a huge fan of confrontation. 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.’
