Mike Huckabee--
Bigotry. On the menu at Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA. Or you can ask for the Hate Plate. And appetizers are small plates for small minds
Josh Marshall --
This morning you tweeted a picture of scary looking Latino gang members and said they were running Nancy Pelosis campaign. You need to work on plot continuity.

(10,252 posts)Yet they call themselves "Christians." Never mind that it's ok to refuse to bake a cake or cater a gay wedding. He had a pastoral career, where he dealt with people's real-life problems. Somewhere along the way, he lost compassion and his moral compass. Guess it was all that money raising as a politician that hardened his heart. Maybe he was always a grifter.

(10,131 posts)This is Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of The Red Hen in Lexington that kicked his daughter out
So the bigotry certainly does not appear to be racial.
Wilkinson let her staff vote on the issue so it was not personal bigotry. Her stated reasons were issues with Huckabee Sanders lack of honesty and compassion (for the internment of children)

Wilkinson said. I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation.
I said, Id like to ask you to leave.
The employee then said: My owner threw her out because she didnt want the mouthpiece of Trump to eat in her restaurant.
...
The employee later edited their comments to clarify. My owner asked her to leave and she complied. Her family left on their own accord, we didnt actually refuse service or kick her out.'
Huckabee Sanders' father's accusation of bigotry is just revealing where his daughter got her dishonesty from.
