Sarah Huckabee Sanders Gracefully Responds to VA Restaurant That Refused Her Service

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders attempted to enjoy a nice meal out yesterday night, but was asked to leave the restaurant's premises by the owner due to Huckabee Sanders' role in the Trump administration. 

Apparently, Huckabee Sanders sat down at the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia with her family for two minutes. Then, the owner asked the table to leave. Huckabee Sanders, not wanting to cause a scene, left the premises. 

Her server, Jaike Foley-Schultz, defended the owner by saying that the press secretary essentially self-deported and was not physically booted from the restaurant. 

Huckabee Sanders remarked on the incident today, tweeting, "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"

Her father, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, was not as gracious. "Bigotry. On the menu at Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA," Gov. Huckabee tweeted. "Or you can ask for the 'Hate Plate'.  And appetizers are 'small plates for small minds,'"  he added.
