The Yelp page of the Red Hen restaurant has become a political battleground after President Trump’s press secretary was kicked out of the eatery.

Sarah Sanders was asked to leave as a protest against the Trump administration.

The event has caused both supporters and detractors of the president to flock to the page to post images and politically charged comments.

Yelp is now actively monitoring the listing and helping to clean it up.

In a message put on the page, it said many people had come to comment motivated “more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business”.
