It is not like the Red Hen is serving Mc Donald’s

Let's compare the two examples you are trying to equate.

The bakery in Radford. VA that turned away Joe Biden in 2012 is called Crumb and Get it. It's owned by Chris McMurray. Mr McMurray was contacted by someone from the advance team for Obama/Biden 2012 who wanted to use his bakery as a campaign stop. Mr McMurray declined to allow his business to be used to advance a political agenda he did not agree with. Being a campaign stop there would have been news coverage and the implied notion that since he hosted the event that he, a small business owner, supported a campaign that was detrimental to small business owners everywhere. Joe Biden never physically set foot in the bakery.

Sarah Sanders and her family were eating a private meal totally unconnected to the administration or any political campaign. There was no press and had the BS not taken place there's probably absolutely no chance that anybody outside of the people physically in the restaurant would ever connect Sanders to the Red Hen. The Sanders party was seated and had already started to be served when they were asked to leave.

Now you tell me exactly how the two situations compare. I would say that the mental gymnastics will at least be entertaining but you've shown in your time on this forum that if brain power were gasoline you wouldn't have enough to burn a piss ant off a sidewalk.

The minute she become the press secretary, became the public face. Elections have consequences right?

Wow...that's pathetic...and you're a really good poster too

You can wrap it up into tidy packages and try to compartmentalize how the gay wedding cake refusal, the Biden and team refusal and the Red Hen refusal were all different. But at the end of the day it was a business refusing service. Period. End of story.

I actually agree with you. I think what is happening to the Red Hen is what should happen. There has been ZERO reaction from the government. However, the owner has been forced out of her position in the local chamber of Commerce due to many bussiness's not wanting to be associated with such behavior. Extra press scrutiny of the diner has shed light on a spotty cleanliness inspection record. And protests have resulted outside the diner due to the owners actions being extremely unpopular with a significant portion of the area's population. In the end---it was a poor business decision which will likely have a very adverse affect on the business given that 30-50% of his customers probably voted for Trump.
