'It turns out we have more than enough (supporters) to keep us cooking,” Red Hen co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson wrote.
An owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, who last June asked White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to leave, said her business is doing “better than good” after weathering a barrage of criticism including from President Donald Trump.
Wilkinson recounted the incident, which she wrote came about at the height of press scrutiny on the Trump administration’s “heinous practice” of separating migrant children from their parents, a “horror” felt at her restaurant. Wilkinson’s refusal to serve Sanders, which led to the press secretary and her family leaving the restaurant, drew tremendous backlash from conservatives. Some alleged that liberals do not face the same level of public scrutiny in everyday life for their political beliefs.“The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders,” Trump tweeted days after the incident.
“Yet, as I kept opening the letters, I saw a pattern,” she wrote. “For every hateful message, there was one of gratitude.”
