"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. 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."
"In 2018, while she was serving as White House press secretary for President Donald Trump, a Virginia restaurant called the Red Hen told her and her family to leave based on her working relationship with Trump. That restaurant eventually closed in 2023."
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders reported being asked to leave The Croissanterie restaurant in Little Rock after dining there for approximately an hour. The restaurant owner told her security detail that her presence made employees feel threatened. Sanders stated other patrons thanked her for her work, and she had already eaten and paid before being asked to leave. She characterized the incident as inconsistent with Arkansas hospitality values. This mirrors a 2018 incident when Sanders, then White House press secretary, was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia due to her association with President Trump. That establishment closed in 2023.
