Washington [United States], June 24 (ANI): A Virginia restaurant refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders because she works for United States President, Donald Trump.

Sanders claimed that the owner of Red Hen restaurant in Lexington kicked her out.

Sanders, after being served for a total of two minutes was kicked out by the owner along with seven of her other family members, Fox News quoted a waiter as saying.

Sanders took to Twitter to confirm the news, saying people should be treated with respect.

"Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so," Sanders tweeted.

Former Governor of Arkansas and Sander's father Mike Huckabee backed her by calling the restaurant's action biased.

"Bigotry. On the menu at Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington VA. Or you can ask for the "Hate Plate". And appetizers are "small plates for small minds," Huckabee tweeted.(ANI)
