The fire department needed to be called in to clean up the mess, according to WSET-TV.

A number of Trump supporters showed up carrying signs which read ‘Homos are full of demons’ and ‘Unless they repent Let God Burn them (LGBT) 2 Peter 2:6.’

Those carrying anti-gay signs were identified by The Washington Post as Edgar and Dianna Orea of Michigan.

‘Homosexual are destroying America,’ Edgar Orea said through a bullhorn to a postal worker who declared her support for gay people.

‘America is going to hell,’ Dianna Orea said, ‘and we need people to repent and follow Jesus Christ.’

As the protesters gathered, it was learned that Sanders would be assigned Secret Service agents to her house

Two people waving Confederate flags then crossed the street so as not to be seen near the protesters with the homophobic signs.

‘We don’t want anything to do with that crazy religious bigot stuff,’ said Chris Wayne, 35, of Monterey, Virginia.

Others waved Trump flags and held signs saying ‘Trump=Love,’ ‘Trump is Love,’ and ‘Red Hen needs to learn love and tolerance.’

Another Trump supporter carried a sign in favor of Corey Stewart.

Stewart is the controversial Republican politician who recently won his party’s nomination for the Senate.

He will face off this November against the incumbent, Senator Tim Kaine of the Democrats.

Stewart has come under fire for his support of Paul Nehlen, another Republican who has in the past expressed white nationalist and anti-Semitic views.

Though there were a small number of counterprotesters who held American flags, the demonstrations were peaceful.

The restaurant, which was closed on Monday, reopened on Tuesday at 5:00pm, but protesters began to gather at 3:00pm, according to the Post.

There were more pro-Trump protesters than opponents.

They were angry about the restaurant’s booting of Sanders.

‘Don’t eat at the commie cluck,’ one hand-written poster read. 

As the protesters gathered, it was learned that Sanders would be assigned Secret Service agents to her house.
