Yelp becomes weapon in online political war
Yelp is becoming a surprising weapon in the online war between liberal activists and those on the right.
Both sides are increasingly using the website to score points in a number of political and cultural controversies.
The most recent incident came after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was denied service at The Red Hen, a restaurant in Lexington, Va., because of the Trump administration's immigration policies.
Appalled conservatives quickly flocked to Yelp, a website which allows the public to comment and rate businesses, and overwhelmed the restaurant's page with negative reviews. Some online trolls even posted swastikas and pornography to deface the page.

These righties are a day late and a dollar short. Trump grill was hit with negative Yelp ads years ago.
