A man who says he is a waiter at a restaurant in Virginia claims that his boss refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and her party.

Jaike Foley-Schultz, who claims he is a waiter at The Red Hen in Lexigton, Va. wrote in a Facebook post, “I just served Sarah Huckabee Sanders for a total of 2 minutes before my owner kicked her out along with 7 of her other family members…”

Brennan Gilmore, the executive director at Clean Virginia, shared the Facebook post on Twitter, and said the owner asked Sanders to leave on “moral grounds.”

Sanders confirmed the news on Twitter, saying she was asked to leave because she works for U.S. President Donald Trump.
