Restaurant chain Anna's House, that came under fire last week for donating thousands to President Trump's re-election campaign, also drew support from customers, who organized a breakfast event Tuesday at the restaurant's Plainfield location.

Grand Rapids resident and the organizer of the event, Jennifer E. Hendricks, said around 45 people showed up.

She said some of the customers who were already eating there saw the support group, all urged to wear Trump attire, and joined the party.

"When I looked at the (Facebook) comments I thought that the owners of Anna's House had a choice of where (to) put their money and should not be targeted," Hendricks said. "I know the family somewhat through friends. They are a very good family and they do a lot for Grand Rapids."

Hendricks said she spoke to employees at Anna's House Plainfield who expressed that business had increased since the donations, that amounted over $20,000, were publicized on Facebook and the media.

The Free Press reached out to Anna's House owner Josh Beckett, who said he had nothing to add at this time. His representative said business has gone on as usual.

Hendricks however, said people who were offended by the restaurant's finances were free to stop patronizing it.

"If you don't like where they are putting their money or what they are supporting, that is the beauty of America, you don't have to go there," she said.

Hendricks is a self proclaimed Trump supporter who also said she voted for Obama. She said the polarization of politics is one of our country's most pressing problems, saying that Trump supporters are being called bigots and racists just for expressing support for their president.

"I don't support somebody because they have an R or a D behind their name. I support them for what they stand for," Hendricks said.

"Why would you think that because I support Trump I am a racist? You shouldn't paint broad stripes on anyone," she added.
