The IRS has not acted impartially in the past. But I question your statement that Sarah Huckabee "retaliated." What exactly did she do? She posted an account of an encounter with a business that chose not to serve her. She never stated the business broke any law.

You are exactly right. Every Business has the right to refuse, but they didn't refuse at the outset. They served an appetizer and then some waitstaff got butthurt and ran crying to the owner.
If I was the owner I would have told the whiney waitstaff to finish what you started with a smile on your face or you are fired. And if those pajama boys were fired or quit over this trivial cr@p, as owner I would have worked their shift myself.
"taking a stand" indeed?! what crybaby BS

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

That is not an impartial statement. basically it is a passive aggressive jab.

I think it's bad they kicked her out but I think the waitstaff should have been hateful, disinterested and condescending to her. Just like she is every day when she interacts with the press.

Sarah used a government account to address a personal issue. That's against an ethics rule or two for White House workers.

Who is running the place, the owners or the hired help? Who will be running it when it closes?

It would seem the Sanders-Huckabee family, supporters of discrimination when it suits them, don't like it when it is used against them. Their hypocrisy shows once again.

Businesses should not discriminate, even if it is to the deplorable Sanders-Huckabee family.

That is as graceful a response as could reasonably be hoped for. Wait until your people start getting this sort of treatment, and then we are virtually certain to see what truly graceless conduct looks like.
