Reviewers pounce on online report Virginia restaurant refused to serve Sarah Sanders | TheHill

Reviewers from both sides of the aisle flooded a Virginia restaurant’s Facebook and Yelp pages with one and five-star reviews after a server at the restaurant claimed his boss kicked out White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Jaike Foley-Schultz, who says he is a waiter at the Lexington restaurant “The Red Hen,” posted on Facebook that his boss kicked out the press secretary and her party.

“I just served Sarah huckabee sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner kicked her out along with 7 of her other family members…” he wrote.

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

“86” is slang in the restaurant world used to mean “throw out” or “get rid of.”

The Hill has reached out to Huckabee Sanders for comment.

The Red Hen’s Facebook and Yelp pages were soon bombarded with reviews from people on opposite ends of the political spectrum. While some praised the restaurant for taking a stand against the Trump administration, many others blasted the owner for being “intolerant.”

“If you are a whining liberal feel free to eat here, if you are a TRUE AMERICAN stay away,” wrote one Facebook reviewer, while another wrote: “Thank you for not serving that liar.”

“I won’t spend a dime in this place,” wrote another reviewer. “The owner is a disgusting human being whose absurd liberalism has driven him to lunacy … Let’s hope your ‘moral convictions’ can pay your bills.”
