White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was refused service at a restaurant three hours outside of Washington, DC, setting of a wave of internet mockery.
"First mothers are forcibly separated from their children and now Sarah is separated from her food for a few moments," comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted. "The trauma caused in the second case is definitely worse."
"Sarah Sanders defends separating thousands of immigrant kids from their parents, cutting SNAP food assistance for millions of poor people, allowing bakers to discriminate against LGBT people, and telling a black reporter to "stop talking," but she's the polite, respectful victim," said CNN political commentator Keith Boykin.
"You defended businesses turning away gays. How’s it feel now, you hypocrite?" AmericaBlog editor John Aravosis asked. "Womp womp."
