As the saying goes: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Only in these partisan times, if you work for Trump, you may actually be asked to get up and leave. Just ask White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders who tweeted this over the weekend: "Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for POTUS and I politely left." Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of the Red Hen, said she has no regrets, and that it was a moral issue for her and her staff.
This, of course, comes on the heels of last week's heckling of the Head of Homeland Security, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
