White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant in Virginia Friday night when the owner apparently decided he didn't want to serve her party out of "moral conviction."
The news was shared in a Facebook post by the waiter from The Red Hen who shared, "I just served Sarah huckabee sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner asked her to leave and she complied. Her family left on their own accord, we didn't actually refuse service or 'kick her out.'"
Sanders tweeted the news herself on Saturday morning, writing, "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."
"Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so," Sanders added.
After the waiter's social media post went viral, hundreds of competing Yelp and Facebook reviews began being posted from both Democrats and Republicans. The reviews ranged from low one stars to top five stars.
According to Newsweek, most reviewers thanked the restaurant for taking a moral stand.

Ok, so how about this...We'll support people who are complicit with this morally bankrupt Administration not being denied service, if you support a gay couple who want to get married not being denied service. Deal? https://t.co/I1QondM89d

Sarah Huckabee Sanders has fought gay marriage, gays in the miiltary and she agreed with her dad when he called gays "subhuman." She should get used to being denied entry at nice places, like restaurants, democracies and heaven#SarahSanders

If people think it's OK to deny service to homosexuals because they believe it goes against the word of God, then there's nothing wrong with denying service to Sarah Sanders who bears false witness as @PressSec @WhiteHouse every day.
