President Trump on Monday ripped the Virginia restaurant that refused to serve his press secretary over the weekend, saying it is "dirty" and "needs a paint job."
The tweet represented Trump's first remarks about Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va., which over the weekend won headlines across the country when its owner asked Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave.
“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," the president wrote on Twitter.
"I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!"

The Lexington, Virginia, restaurant that kicked out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday night instantly became the target of online harassment and conspiracy theories, and things have escalated quickly: Owner Stephanie Wilkinson is being doxxed, with users posting her home address and phone number on various message boards and social media platforms. President Donald Trump's press secretary Sarah Sanders holds a White House news briefing. As Vox explains, “Doxxing is a common internet practice used to punish or shame someone and is a particularly common practice among the alt-right and other white supremacist organizations who operate online in places like Reddit, 4chan, and Twitter.” Last year, Reddit shut down three popular alt-right subreddits due to their members repeatedly engaging in doxxing.

White House Press Briefing - July 23, 2018 | NBC News NBC News White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says publicly that she has no plans to leave the administration, but that hasn’t stopped some people close to President Donald Trump from contemplating “life after Sarah.” Planning for her eventual exit is on the minds of many Trump advisers and staff members, according to interviews with nearly a dozen current and former administration officials and others close to the president. Bill Shine, the newly appointed White House deputy chief of staff for communications, has quietly begun asking friends and associates for their opinions about who could succeed Sanders if she leaves in the coming months, according to two people familiar with those conversations.

White House Press Briefing - August 1, 2018 | NBC News NBC News The restaurant represents a battleground between supporters of President Trump and those who support the owner's actions, and both protesters and supporters have flocked to the Red Hen in recent days, some hoping for a reservation at the establishment that said "no" to the White House.

"We wanted to support the actions she took."
