Sarah Sanders Says She Was Kicked Out of Restaurant Because She Works for Trump
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said she was kicked out of a Virginia restaurant by its owner because she works for President Donald Trump.
When reached for comment by CNN, Sanders referred to the tweet she posted.
The owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, told The Washington Post in an interview Saturday that she “would have done the same thing again.”
Wilkinson told the Post that she asked Sanders to leave at the request of her staff.
“I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation,” Wilkinson recalled to The Post of her confrontation with Sanders. “I said, ‘I’d like to ask you to leave.’”
CNN has reached out to Wilkinson for comment.
Sanders’ father, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, called it “bigotry” on Twitter.
“On the menu at Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, VA. Or you can ask for the ‘Hate Plate’. And appetizers are ‘small plates for small minds,’” he posted Saturday.
A separate restaurant in Washington, D.C., also named the Red Hen, posted on social media that it has no affiliation with the restaurant in Virginia.
Some Yelp reviewers and Facebook users had confused the D.C. Italian restaurant for the Virginia American restaurant that Sanders was turned away from.
Good morning! @PressSec went to the unaffiliated @RedHenLex last night, not to our DC-based restaurant.
