Donald Trump's chief press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kicked Out Of a Restaurant (see details)
The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, is being bombarded with online reviews after refusing to
serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump's press secretary, and her family.
On Friday night, Jaike Foley-Schultz, who claims to be a waiter at The Red Hen, explained on Facebook that he waited on the White House official for about two minutes before his boss asked her to leave the establishment.
Sanders later confirmed the incident on Twitter, 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."

In his Facebook post, Foley-Schultz also shared a photograph of a handwritten note from the restaurant that said, "86 Sara Huckabee Sanders." (Mashable reached out to The Red Hen for additional comment.)
The story gained attention after Brennan Gilmore, the director of Clean Virginia, a nonprofit focused on clean energy, shared the photo on Twitter. Soon, the restaurant's Facebook and Yelp pages were flooded with mixed reviews.

Many reviews were either extremely supportive of the owner's decision to refuse service to Sanders or absolutely slammed the restaurant for discriminating against political opinions.
