Trump seeks upper hand on civility [View all]
A Virginia restaurant’s decision to not serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reverberated throughout Washington on Monday, as President Trump seized on the story and Democratic leaders sought to distance their party from a liberal firebrand’s decision to cheer it on.
Trump focused on the brewing controversy as a way to shift the focus from his administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy and onto the actions of his fiercest critics.
The president tweeted his disgust on Monday morning with The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va., and then followed his missive up with an attack on Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who over the weekend urged other opponents of the president to confront administration officials in public.
In doing so, Trump used the kind of insults that have a part of his political brand, even though they added to a tone of incivility that many saw the Virginia restaurant owner as worsening with her actions toward Sanders.
