re: The Red Hen has not reopened since refusing to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders last week

Oh don't try to claim moral superiority here.

How did you get that from what I said?

Get that chip off your shoulder, son.

The protesting is not over the hypocrisy of the place (which is true). It's over the fact that she wasn't served

Yes. Like I said, that's how it's supposed to work. The difference is that the right usually doesn't go crying to the local magistrate to solve their problems by gunpoint like the gay couple did to that bakery.

It's his daughter. You don't think they had a conversation? Seriously?

Of course. So he got third-hand info. Did you ever play Telephone as a child? And he apparently embellished what he heard.

Again, link the first hand acounts.

That didn't happen.

They don't care. They need to rage, facts be damned.

Link.

Seriously. I'm just going by what I heard.

Personally, I don't think that Mike Huckabee would make this up out of whole cloth. That's all.

---

Nor do I. He received mangled, third-hand info, and he mangled it further. There are reasons that third-hand accounts are not admissible.

If the MAGA Mob would stop repeating obviously-inaccurate stories, I would never mention the event again.

Fair enough. Set the record straight counselor. What really happened?

Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of the Red Hen, resigned Tuesday as executive director of Main Street Lexington. The group’s board president, Elizabeth Outland Branner, says Wilkinson felt she should resign considering the past weekend’s events.

There's two ways to approach this. We can go the MAD route: You can act like loons and boycott businesses you dont agree with an kick people out of restaurants, and we can respond by doing the same, until both parties decide it's better that we stop this nonsense. OR we can take the high road and let you act like loons while we assume the victim role.

Either approach is a winning strategy considering it's obvious who started this.

For starters, Mike Huckabee claimed that they went across the street to another restaurant where this harrassing supposedly happened. There is no restaurant across the street, so he's full of shite right off the bat. No one outside of Huckabee has said a thing about it, either. He's drumming up outrage, and the usuals are buying into it. Hard.

Didn't the idiot in question confirm that she followed the family to another restaurant and gathered a crowd and let them know they weren't welcome there either?
