A political storm has erupted in Little Rock after Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a popular local bakery, The Croissanterie.
The controversy began when Sanders revealed that she was dining with friends when the restaurant owner approached her security detail and requested that she leave, allegedly because her presence made staff feel 'threatened.'
However, the restaurant has disputed that characterization, saying concerns arose as the governor's security presence became more noticeable, making some staff and guests uncomfortable.
The Croissanterie's owners wrote, 'As her security presence became more visible in the dining room, some employees and guests expressed discomfort. After the party completed their meal, a member of the security detail was quietly asked to help conclude the visit in line with our standard 90-minute table policy.'
The bakery has received huge support online, with users praising the move and even offering to support the restaurant by visiting.
