Collingwood’s Olde Red Hen ripped after Trump staffer booted from U.S. eatery
The distance between Collingwood and Lexington, Va., is about 1,000 kilometres.
But don’t try telling that to some south of the border.
The Olde Red Hen has been a fixture in the community since 1946, but this week the restaurant received some unwanted online backlash over an incident in the Virginia town.
Earlier this week, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, the White House press secretary, was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant.
When the news broke online, angry Americans started to leave negative comments and reviews on the Facebook page of the Collingwood eatery.
“Glad to know which restaurant we will never eat at, we do not support low life Liberal scum run business,” was one of the comments.
Others said her restaurant wasn’t clean and hoped she goes out of business.
“I first got a couple Friday night and I responded, ‘You’ve got the wrong restaurant,’” she said. “It just kept coming and coming.”
However, the comments started to impact her restaurant’s rating on Facebook and Trip Advisor.
She said people have since been countering the negative comments with positive support and reviews.
