A restaurant in Tucson, Arizona closed indefinitely after sparking backlash for a pro-Donald Trump Facebook post that expressed support for standing for the national anthem, god and drug screening welfare recipients.

Cup It Up American Grill, which offers salads and entrees in cup form, shuttered its doors on Monday, leaving only taped signs expressing gratitude to the military and first responders.

“Dear Loyal fans and Patrons of Cup it Up American Grill,” the signs read. “We have made a decision to close our doors indefinitely as of today, Monday, October 9, 2017. The safety of our employees, and our families is of great concern and is our #1 priority at this time. We would also like to extend a special thanks to our Military and First responders. Thank you all and God Bless.”

The decision comes after Cup It Up posted a lengthy statement on Facebook, extolling the restaurants’ support for “OUR President—Donald J. Trump” and its lack of support for “fake news,” “political correctness” and “late night hosts getting political.”
