Days after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a Virginia restaurant, she decried calls for harassment and push for any supporter of US president Donald Trump to avoid the public, saying such a move was \u2018unacceptable.\u2019<\/p>\n
While she was dining with her family, Sanders was asked to leave by The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia on Friday for working for Trump, she told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cHealthy debate on ideas and political philosophy is important, but the calls for harassment and push for any Trump supporter to avoid the public is unacceptable. America is a great country and our ability to find solutions despite those disagreements is what makes us unique,\u201d Sanders told reporters at her daily news conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm. And this goes for all people, regardless of politics. Some have chosen to push hate and vandalism against the restaurant that I was asked to leave from,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Hollywood actor publicly encouraged people to kidnap my children, and this weekend a member of Congress called for people to push back and make clear to those serving their country and this administration that they are not welcome anywhere, anytime for anything,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The restaurant\u2019s co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson told \u2018The Washington Post\u2019 that her reasons to kick Sanders out included the concerns of employees who were gay and knew she had defended Trump\u2019s desire to bar transgender people from the military.<\/p>\n
Wilkinson said she believed Sanders works in an \u2018inhumane and unethical\u2019 administration.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Trump said the restaurant instead should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies and windows instead of refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!\u201d the president said in a tweet.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters called for protesters to confront cabinet members publicly and shame them over Trump administration\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
