Poor Sarah Sanders, victim of persecution

What if someone was part of a religious organization with an agenda? Say a Christian is a known member of an organization trying to reverse same-sex marriage? A Muslim being part of the Muslim Brotherhood? A Hindu nationalist? etc, etc.

Unless someone has done something, they should be served. Sarah Sanders lies for and defends Trump. I don't think it should have happened to her, and it was tacky to have done so, and it defeated her "honor and compassion," and it's ammo for Conservatives in general to use, but there is a world's difference between "no gays" and refusing service to someone who's job is being the president's sycophant.

Fascinating to see those who fell over themselves to crow over the decision about the baker refusing service now falling over themselves to cry foul.

Who has done this?
I've seen no one here deny the legality of one but not the other.

Who gives a crap Id throw her out too. I am way more concerned about the children and families being seperated then I am about her being thrown out of a restuarant. I don't give a shi# too bad!

As for some context ...

Hours before Mike Huckabee lamented the treatment of his daughter at a Virginia restaurant, the former Arkansas governor tweeted a photo Saturday morning of a group of tattooed gang members and suggested they made up Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s campaign committee to “take back” the House of Representatives.

The false implication was clear: Huckabee was another of many Republicans once again trying to stick the House minority leader with the image of an MS-13 gang sympathizer.

- The Washington Post​

To be ready, willing, and able to carry the President's water requires racist training that best begins in childhood, and in this regard, Sarah Sanders was home-schooled.

In the news....
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...-they-discriminate-against-trump-admin-staff/

From the article....
David Cole, National Legal Director of the ACLU, told Law&Crimethat public accommodations laws prohibit businesses that are open to the public from discriminating against people based on certain characteristics.

“Public accommodations laws vary from state to state (and city to city), but they generally bar businesses open to the public from refusing service to individuals based on certain protected characteristics,” Cole said, noting that they each decide which characteristics qualify.

"All protect against race discrimination, most protect against sex discrimination, some protect against sexual orientation discrimination, etc.”

So what about political leanings? As it turns out, “only three jurisdictions protect against discriminatory refusals of service based on political affiliation or opinion,” Cole said, but one of them is Washington, D.C. (The others are Seattle and the Virgin Islands.)

The Red Hen, the restaurant that booted Sanders, is in Virginia, but if any establishments in D.C. take a cue from them, they could be held in violation of D.C. Code Section 2-1402.31, which bars discriminatory actions against people in whole or in part due to characteristics including race, religion, nationality, sex, age, and more, including political affiliation. Violations can result in punishments including court-ordered corrective action or monetary penalties.

And she may have complained illegally as she did so on a government site whereas it is not to be used for commercial interests/endorsements/etc.

But then, when has breaking the law ever been a concern for what Trump & Co says and does?

Omg...people are making such a fuss over this episode.

Mrs Sanders wrote a nice tweet on her page, telling that she doesn't care that she was rejected by that restaurant owner.Sarah Sanders on Twitter
As a dignified lady would. And as a professional servant of the state would.

Lots of good posts on this thread. But unfortunately I see some who seem to think refusing business to someone is just fine so long as they're on the side they disagree with.

It's a slippery slope.
I would argue that it's a classless act, regardless of the reasoning one gives for it.

Following someone to a dinner table and chanting protest slogans at them is just as gross a human behavior as refusing to bake a cake to a paying customer because they're of a different sexual orientation.

We are creating a hateful monster.

Well I may have given the idea that I was fine with her being kicked out and no I am not. It could be bad and lead to a cival war obviously we don't need that.

What I meant to say is this no its not good that they did that but I'm not having a pity party for Sanders either she is not a victem. As a matter of fact as a Politician you should expect hate, it shouldn't be a big deal. Although we don't need anymore division. But she is not the important thing here, its not about her, I am not worried about her.

I am worried as we all should be about the children split up from their parents, That is whats important. So saying I do not give a sh&t about her I should have said the children is what I am worried about. Sanders is a politician she should know shes going to be hated. This should be no big deal to her.It is not right but not a big deal. I hope we are not creating a monster.
