LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she was asked to leave a Little Rock restaurant after her office claims that the restaurant’s owner said employees felt “threatened and uncomfortable.”
According to a Wednesday night statement from the governor’s office, Sanders, while accompanied by an Arkansas State Police protection detail, was having lunch on Friday at the Little Rock restaurant called The Croissanterie.
“After the group had been seated at two separate tables for about an hour and fifteen minutes and had paid and tipped the restaurant staff, The Croissanterie’s owner approached a member of the Governor’s Executive Protection Detail and asked the Governor to leave because her presence was ‘making employees threatened and uncomfortable’ because of her political views,” the governor’s spokesperson said.
The governor’s spokesperson stated that Sander’s group began to leave the restaurant when a man standing with members of the staff, “yelled ‘it’s time to go’ and made a crude hand gesture in the Governor’s direction.”
The governor also shared a statement:
KARK 4 News has reached out to The Croissanterie for comment, but has not yet heard back.
These are the 'chefs' at the Croissanterie. I don't even need to tell you what their political beliefs are:
The online ratings for the restaurant are 3.5. That's 3.5 out of 5 for a place whose specialty is "croissants."

ReplyDeleteIKWYM ... I was thinking the same thing.
DeleteThey didn't seem to mind it while they ordered, consumed and paid, left a tip before they were asked to leave. I too think like rickn8or, a couple of muff diver par excellence... A classy response but as governor, would not allow any State of Arkansas government credit cards from being used there, or any state financial benefits or programs. If you are going to openly deny or exclude persons from an openly public business then you shall reap the whirlwind.
ReplyDeleteWell, you gave them way too much credit with "par excellence" but the tall one does look severely dyke'ish.
DeleteI think this little class act for the governor will end up having a eventual bad ending for them. The last restaurant that did this to her, "The Red Hen" in Virginia when she was Press Secretary, went out of business. I wish the same on this pastry shop.
This event needs to go viral and this restaurant needs to go BK and close.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for the same thing. This won't help their business.
Delete3.5 out of 5? Fat, democrat and lesbian is no way to go through life, ladies!
ReplyDelete3.5 out of 5 ... in a pastry shop. How bad do you have to suck to make 3.5 PASTRIES. They're chefs for goodness sake.
DeleteNot the kind of PR I would self-inflict. It used to be a business would stfu and just do.business, but I guess everyone now has an opinion about something or another. The next news story will be that tbey cannot understand why business dropped and they were forced to close. Too bad!
