Sarah Sanders' use of her official government Twitter account to criticize a restaurant for asking her to leave is a 'clear violation' of federal ethics laws, a top former government watchdog charges.
Walter Shaub, who was the director of Office of Government Ethics for five years, wrote on Twitter that the White House press secretary violated federal rules by using her official account for her personal beef with the Red Hen restaurant.
'Sarah, I know you don't care even a tiny little bit about the ethics rules, but using your official account for this is a clear violation of 5 CFR 2635.702(a),' he tweeted on Saturday.

Shaub was referring to a section of the law that says government employees can't use their public position for private gain.
'It's the same as if an ATF agent pulled out his badge when a restaurant tried to throw him/her out,' Shaub explained.
Sanders took to Twitter Saturday morning to slam the Red Hen restaurant saying: 'Last night I was told by the owner of The 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.'
The @PressSec account Sanders used is one that White House press secretaries pass on to one another as holders of the position change.
Sanders did not respond to the DailyMail.com's request for comment on the charge her tweet violated government ethics.
Shaub also explained Sanders' tweet could be interpreted as coercion.
'Sanders used her official govt account to condemn a private business for personal reasons. Seeks to coerce business by using her office to get public to pressure it,' he wrote.

That section of government code forbids an employee from using 'his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise.'
A government staffer also cannot use 'his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise,' the code reads.
Also, staff cannot use their title or position to 'endorse any product, service or enterprise.'
Ian Bassin, a former associate White House counsel under President Barack Obama, agreed.
'When I was a WH lawyer we trained all staff they couldn't use their WH titles or resources (like Twitter acct) for personal uses like making restaurant reservations or promoting businesses. So yes, this tweet violates federal ethics rules. I'm sure Don McGahn will remind her,' he wrote on Twitter.
McGahn currently serves as White House counsel.
Shaub, who had previously clashed with Trump over the president's business interests, resigned last year, leaving office nearly six months before the end of his term.
He frequently criticizes the Trump administration and called on another Trump spokeswoman, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, to be fired for violating the Hatch Act.
And a major civil rights advocate said Sanders should have been left to dine.
Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings said Sunday the restaurant owner should have served Sanders.
'I think, as far as the restaurant incident, I think the restaurant owner should have served her,' said Cummings, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, on CBS' 'Face the Nation.' 'I really do. But, this tone is horrible. But again, I think President [Donald] Trump has created this.'
Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of The Red Hen, revealed why she refused to serve the White House Press Secretary.

Wilkinson said she took a staff vote before asking Sanders to leave. When they voted to boot her out, Wilkinson complied.
'Tell me what you want me to do. I can ask her to leave. They said 'yes,'' Wilkinson said to The Washington Post.
Wilkinson said the chef at the Red Hen called her around 8pm to report Sanders had arrived at the small farm-to-table restaurant.
After she arrived and saw Sanders and company dining on a cheese board, she halted the workers in the kitchen, who were preparing the party's main course, to ask them how they felt.
Some of the restaurant workers identify as gay while others prefer to remain nonpolitical in the work space.
Wilkinson said she bore in mind the Trump's administrations agenda to ban transgender people from entering the military and his zero tolerance policy that separated migrant families at the border in taking her poll.
She added that Lexington is a small blue town that voted against Trump.
Wilkinson said the other members of her party were welcome to stay, but they followed Sanders as she left.
'They offered to pay. I said, 'No. It's on the house,'' Wilkinson said.
Since the incident the Yelp page for The Red Hen has been inundated with one and five star reviews from people on both sides of the political spectrum, bringing the restaurant's score down to 2.5 stars.
Meanwhile, an unaffiliated restaurant with the same name in Washington D.C., has also been caught in the crossfire and is distancing itself from the scandal.

Shaub is partially right in that she should have used a personal twitter account not the @Presssec account

BUT, she never posted to boycott the restaurant she was just reporting the actions of the establishment so I don't see how this can be considered an attempt to coerce. She tweets and says stuff everyday that has some bearing on a business or a nation. As long as she's not telling the public to boycott the restaurant it's not a violation but she should keep personal situations away from her presssec account

another out-of-work clown trying to stay relevant. maybe he should give Tom Arnold and Kathy Griffin a call

But I'll bet he feels better about himself. Most morally superior people do.

Sarah Sanders to Receive Secret Service Protection as Abusive Leftist Mobs Continue to Target Trump Officials

by Cristina Laila June 26, 2018 1 Comment

Leftists have become so rabid and violent that the Secret Service will begin providing security at the home of White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

The left is becoming increasingly violent as the fake news media throws kerosene on an already divided country.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters told a cheering mob of Democrats to harass and harm people in Trump’s cabinet.

Sarah Sanders and her family were recently forced out of The Red Hen restaurant.

The owner Stephanie Wilkinson followed Sanders’ family across the street to another restaurant and formed a protest to continue the harassment.

Things are so dire that Sarah Sanders now needs Secret Service protection at her home.

NBC reporter Peter Alexander tweeted: NEW: The Secret Service will begin providing security at the home of Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, on a temporary basis, a law enforcement official tells @PeteWilliamsNBC

Other Republicans have been targeted in public by angry leftists.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was surrounded by three huge men screaming an inch from her face over the weekend while she was at a movie theater with her boyfriend.

A far left mob targeted Stephen Miller’s apartment Tuesday.

Open-borders protesters also confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao as they were leaving a Georgetown event Monday evening.

Rush Limbaugh is correct; someone is going to get killed over the fake news media hysteria and lies.

Good! After Maxine Waters incited harassment of people working for Trump, it is the responsible thing to do.
