Can't she just go to another restaurant? Just like those of you who said that gays can just go to another bakery. What's the problem?

I thought she handled the White House Press Corps dinner with grace, even though her supporters didn't. But I don't think she handled this with grace, revenge tweeting from her official White House account. And then, her dad's tweet proved that the worm infested apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The both of them made this personal. Rookie mistake!
They broke the Distinct of Columbia non-discrimination public accommodation law under the "political affiliation" category. That gets you one star every time. The sad thing is there are many posting that they agree with them, so discrimination is ok by them, but only when it targets people they dislike, what hypocrisy.

She wasn't removed because of where she works. It was because of her consistent dishonesty, her support for the separation of children at the border and her anti-LGBTQ stance, according to the restaurant owner.
By revenge tweeting from her professional account, she broke the law, and she was dishonest when she tweeted that she was asked to leave because she worked for POTUSm when she was really sked to leave because she lies for POTUS.

Wait, aren't the people feigning outrage over this the very same people who support bakers not baking cakes for LGBQT people and saying businesses have a right to serve whomever they choose? What happened?

Opening sentences of 5 CFR 2635.702 cover both; 702(a) gives example of coercion; 702(c) gives example of endorsement. Also 2635.101(b)(8) bars preferential treatment, with obvious corollary for singling out. She can lob attacks on her own time but not using her official position
You just revealed the fact that you know that the actions by the restaurant were based on her job. Whether she lies or not, she was removed, according to you, for what she said in her job on behalf of the President.
Wilkinson explained that she queried her employees about what to do, knowing several employees were gay and all the staff had all watched the press secretary evade questions while defending Trump’s border separation policy.

“I was babbling a little, but I got my point across in a polite and direct fashion,” Wilkinson said. “I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation.”

“I’m not a huge fan of confrontation,” Wilkinson said. “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”

“We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions,” the owner explained. “This appeared to be one.”
