Here’s what Trump tweeted from his golden throne yesterday morning:
The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

The Red Hen — the restaurant Trump said is "dirty on the inside" — passed its Feb. 2018 inspection with no violations. The restaurant has had three violations in the past four years, two of which were corrected during the time of inspection. https://t.co/pXfiCukyv9

But we know anything he accuses anyone else of is really something he’s guilty of, so:
Unsafe seafood. Insufficiently refrigerated meats. Rusty shelving. Cooks without hairnets.
Reports show Florida health inspectors cited President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort with 15 violations in late January, days before the U.S. leader hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for a diplomatic visit.
Still, the state inspectors allowed the luxury resort’s main restaurant and beach club grill to remain open as staff scrambled to make several immediate corrections.
Among the “high priority” problems described as “potentially hazardous” were faulty fridges with meats stored well above the required 41 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, in the restaurant’s walk-in cooler, the duck and beef were measured at 50 degrees, while a ham was at 57 degrees.
Other issues included smoked salmon being served without undergoing “proper parasite destruction” and a hand washing sink for employees with water that was not hot enough.
Oh, how interesting!
Trumpers started to call and harass a Red Hen restaurant in NJ that has nothing to do with the one in Virginia — but they, they’ve never been known for reading past the headline.
Twitter responded:
Some who defend baker’s right to refuse service to gay couples, whine re ppl refusing service to a person who’s the face of a deceitful Administration. What’s good for the goose, is good for the Red Hen. Difference is, being gay is not a choice. Being an accomplice to Trump, is.

DC's Red Hen was egged and is getting death threats. It's totally unaffiliated with the Virginia Red Hen that kicked out Sarah Sanders https://t.co/3OA63XNkRc

MAGA people are harassing and sending death threats to the wrong Red Hen, despite being repeatedly told it just has the name name and is totally unaffiliated with the one that asked Sarah Sanders to leave, in case you were wondering who’s stupid enough to still support Trump.
