A restaurant refused to serve Sarah Sanders and her family

Sarah Sanders had a hard time getting dinner in the D.C. area on Friday. She and her family were asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va.

Jaike Foley-Schultz, who says he is a waiter at the Red Hen, shared a post on Facebook that said his boss kicked out the press secretary and her party.

The post went viral when the director of Clean Virginia, a left-leaning energy nonprofit, shared the post on Twitter, along with a handwritten note, purportedly from the restaurant, with the note: “86 — Sara Huckabee Sanders.”

The term “86” is restaurant shorthand for cutting people off, asking them to leave, or throwing them out.

Sanders confirmed that she was asked to leave in a tweet this morning.

“Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for [President Trump] and I politely left,” Sanders tweeted.

She also got in a dig, noting that being asked to leave said more about the owner than her.

Yes, and in a different world that would be very commendable, but do you believe that the left is going to commend her discretion? No-using Alinsky tactics, they will just use this to ratchet up on such acts.

As a reaction, all Republicans should avoid this restaurant.

Yelp has this alert up now:

Active Cleanup Alert

This business recently made waves in the news, which often
means that people come to this page to post their views on
the news.

While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it
comes to these news events, we do work to remove both
positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated
more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s
personal consumer experience with the business.

As a result, your posts to this page may be removed as part
of our cleanup process beginning Saturday, June 23, 2018,
but you should feel free to post your thoughts about the
recent media coverage for this business on Yelp Talk at any time.

That’s the point I want to make, I am full of frustration right now. What will it take for us to hit back? Right now we like old people in Maoist China, dropping our heads in shame as we walk wearing placards carrying their message! We’re allowing ourselves to be sued into suppressing our own views, while promoting theirs for them! It’s diabolical, actually.

Maybe some enterprising individual will rent or buy property in close proximity and launch a real nice eatery Everyone will want to patronize.

This one is a call to action! So it should be posted hourly until they APOLOGIZE. If not, well, some people may be upset.

She should have asked them to bake her a cake and then sue because she was discriminated against because she was heterosexual.

I’m thinking anyone recognizablle in the Trump Administration should probably try to minimize their time in public.

Hiding out and laying low, is the wrong response to thuggery, You only embolden them by shrinking back and being passive.

If you want the thugs change threir behavior, you have to kick them in the teeth.

Why?

They have every right and freedom to discriminate (”free to choose”) on their private business and private property anytime they want. The battle is getting the government out of their unconstitutional interference with private “discrimination” (freedom to choose).

Don’t turn the Right into Right-Wing SJW’s.

Technically, anyone who works under the Executive Branch works for POTUS Trump. That means that any DOJ or FBI employee should also be asked to leave, correct?
If not, how do they explain treating one person differently?

Tinycarat....

Did I mention that I hate smartphone Spell check... coupled with the loss of my desktop computer to a lightning strike a couple of weeks ago, and having to revert to my smartphone for everything until I make a switch to a laptop which I have to go out and purchase. The computer was 10 years old. I tried a couple of work arounds but to no avail. Sadly I lost my downloaded Microsoft Office Suite 2010 that was on the hard drive and I don’t think I’m getting that back so that could be a problem but maybe not....

Judgmental owner who forces customers to choose politics over a meal deserves the consequences of their actions. How’s that capitalism and new tax laws working for your biz?

Time to use the CA strategy by telling Federal Employees that they can no longer use Credit Cards and Expense Accounts billed to the United States Government at that Restaurant.

We lose if we do FIGHT AT THEIR LEVEL. I’m sick of taking the ‘high ground’ just to have abortion be found in the Constitution, gays getting married, our supporters and representatives being assaulted and sometimes killed, and our president facing impeachment for trying to control Illegal Immigration.

If they don’t like they results of THEIR RULES, then perhaps they should stop doing it.

You have every right to be Jim Crow or Daffy Duck if you want. The government has NO constitutional say in private decisions about private associations including business patrons.

The battle is getting the government out of their unconstitutional interference with private “discrimination” (freedom to choose).

Don’t turn the Right into Right-Wing SJW’s.

.....and right between the gonads if they have any. But you're right, hiding out is what's gotten us to the point we're at. Confrontation and fighting back is more appropriate as that is the only language the left seems to understand.
