Governor who polices others' lives surprised when a restaurant sets its own rules

by · Boing Boing

Deplorable Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders found herself unwelcome at a local restaurant. She took to social media to shame the establishment, but things didn't go as she'd planned.

"Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave," Sanders wrote in a post on X on Thursday, responding to a story about the matter by The Daily Wire editor-in-chief Brent Scher.

"Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn't meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down," Sanders concluded.

One of the restaurant's employees responded to the initial Daily Wire story, stating that the eatery did not regret its decision.

"Good morning! Sarah Huckabee Sanders no amount of evil you send our way can ever take our smiles away!!!" Zachary Hickman, a The Croissanterie employee, wrote on Facebook on Thursday. "I'm proud af to work here! I'm proud af to be gay and I'm proud af to be an Arkansan. My voice matters. Try again."DailyBeast

Turns out "we reserve the right to refuse service" wasn't just meant for everyone else.
