MAGA Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) and her security detail were asked to leave a local restaurant after overstaying their welcome, according to a report.
Sanders dined at The Croissanterie in Little Rock, Arkansas, on March 13 with two other people and her police security detail. She was at the restaurant for over an hour and 15 minutes, and was served a meal, before the staff asked her to leave after other customers said her presence made them "uncomfortable," local news station THV11 reported on Thursday.
"Allowing her to stay risked being perceived as a lack of support for the community that makes up the majority of our team, as well as their families and friends. Conversely, asking her to leave could be viewed as denying service based on differing beliefs," The Croisanterie said in a statement to the news outlet.
Sanders claimed the restaurant asked her to leave because she made their employees feel threatened, a claim the restaurant directly refuted.
"Ultimately, we made the decision to support our employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable," the restaurant said. "To clarify, we do not recall any statements indicating that anyone felt threatened."
