Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders Asked to Leave From Little Rock Restaurant | Here's What We Know

The Croissanterie asked Governor Sanders to leave citing staff discomfort over political views; the group complied after dining about 75 minutes, within the restaurant's 90-minute seating limit.

  • On Friday, March 13, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Governor of Arkansas, dined at The Croissanterie, Little Rock bakery and lunch spot, and left after her State Police Executive Protection Detail was told to leave.
  • The Croissanterie said it was 'surprised and uncertain how best to respond' and ultimately chose to support employees who felt uncomfortable, denying any statements 'indicating that anyone felt threatened'.
  • Approximately one hour into the visit, staff asked security twice to encourage departure before the 90-minute table limit, while a customer made a crude hand gesture.
  • Releasing a statement, Sanders emphasized unity and fairness, while The Croissanterie said it 'stands by our choice to support our employees and guests', reflecting conflicting accounts.
  • Conservative outlets amplified the story, observers linked it to the Red Hen 2018 incident, and Thursday photos by Arkansas Times photographer Brian Chilson showed lines out the door.
