The owner of the Red Hen restaurant — the Lexington, Virginia, restaurant that booted then-Trump administration press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders last summer — has ridden to the rescue of a Chicago cocktail server who spit on Eric Trump last week, counseling Trump administration members who do not want to be assaulted to forget about dining out.

Wilkinson, readers may recall, asked Huckabee Sanders, point blank, to leave her restaurant back in June 2018. Huckabee Sanders complied with the Red Hen proprietor's wishes, but later tweeted about the incident. Wilkinson defended herself and her decision, and even said the move was good for business, though the city of Lexington, Virginia, disagreed, telling Newsweek in September that it was forced to spend money on a tourism campaign after being hit with a barrage of bad PR.
Wilkinson, in her op-ed, said that while assault is never acceptable, the "rules are changing," and customers expect the institutions they patronize to ascribe to a code of "ethics": "The once-ubiquitous idea that companies exist purely and solely to provide profit to shareholders is withering away like corn husks in the summer sun."
