A diner owner in Florida is turning away Biden supporters telling them to 'take your business elsewhere' if they support the administration which is 'complicit in the deaths of servicemen and women'.
Angie Ugarte posted the sign in the window of the DeBary Diner in DeBary, Volusia County, telling customers to turn around if they back President Joe Biden and his administration.
The owner put the sign up after Thursday's attack by ISIS-K at Kabul airport that killed 13 US troops and nearly 200 civilians in Afghanistan.

Angie Ugarte, who owns a diner in Florida, has turned away Biden supporters telling them to 'take your business elsewhere'
The sign reads: 'If you voted for and continue to support and stand behind the worthless, inept and corrupt administration currently inhabiting the White House that is complicit in the death of our servicemen and women in Afghanistan, please take your business elsewhere.'
Ugarte, who has owned the diner for five years, said she posted the sign Thursday after the suicide bombing, according to The New York Post.
She intends to keep the sign up as long as there are American's still stranded in the country, adding she felt like it was 'the only thing' she could do to help the situation.
The owner said a lot of her regular customers at the diner are military vets, and has a wall inside featuring military decoration.

Reactions from her customers has been varied, and said some people 'turn around and walk away' while others have said they liked it.
She said: 'If you really, really still stand behind what's allowed this to happen in the way that it has happened — which was unnecessary — then I really, really don't want to be associated with you in any way and I certainly don't want your business.'
This comes after the families of the soldiers gathered in Dover, Delaware, on Sunday where the remains of the 13 troops who died in a suicide bombing on Thursday arrived.
Biden was at the base for the dignified transfer of the fallen.
The fathers of two of the Marines killed in the bomb attack are blaming Biden for their deaths.
They said he turned his back on the troops on the ground with his chaotic evacuation attempt that made them sitting ducks for ISIS-K.
Among them were Navy Corpsman Max Soviak, Army Staff Sgt Ryan Knauss, and Marines Rylee McCollum, Kareem Nikoui, Jared Schmitz, Daegan Page and Taylor Hoover.
Families of the fallen U.S. service members were left disappointed by Joe Biden at the dignified transfer on Sunday. One sister of a fallen Marine yelled at the president: 'I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!'
Ben Arlotta said he is furious at the Biden administration and blames the White House for putting soldiers in an unnecessarily dangerous position.
'It's a junk show, an absolute junk show. Not just for Rylee but for every serviceman and woman over there. They were put in a very terrible spot. In my opinion this entire circumstance has been mismanaged from every level,' he told DailyMail.com.
'The only thing I can hope for is that accountability isn't forgotten. Because for the 13 men who were killed yesterday, heads need to roll for the way things have gone.
Nikoui's father Steve told The Daily Beast on Friday: 'They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security. I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That's it.'
Schmitz's father, meanwhile, said: 'Be afraid of our leadership or lack thereof. Pray every day for the soldiers that are putting their lives at risk, doing what they love which is protecting all of us.'
There is growing frustration among DC politicians - who are now calling for Biden to be impeached or resign.
The US Marine Corps posted a photo to Twitter Sunday evening, of 11 flag flag-draped caskets of their fallen brethren killed in Thursday's suicide bomb attack in Kabul
On Friday, he refused to take questions on it during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and called it a 'dangerous but worthy mission'.
Vice President Kamala Harris returned to DC on Friday from Guam after shying away from the crisis since it began on August 14.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Friday the President must face a 'day of reckoning' for how he has handled the situation.
'Look, I'm extremely frustrated with this president,' McCarthy said in a press conference.
He said a president needs to have 'the faith, the trust, and the confidence' of Americans - which he said Biden lost on Thursday after a devastating attack on Kabul airport, which killed at least 170 people and 13 US troops.
President Joe Biden attended on Sunday the dignified transfer of the remains of service members killed in the Kabul airport attack
'When that day passes, we can take up anything that - to hold accountable for the actions that have been taken, the lies that have been given, the mis-decisions that put Americans in harm's way, and the decision to leave Americans behind,' he said.
'That choice and that answer should never be given by the president of the United States.'
At the Pentagon briefing on Friday, Kirby revealed that thousands of terrorists from ISIS-K, the group responsible for the attack at the airport, escaped from Bagram prison earlier this summer after Biden's troops cleared out from the base, leaving it to outnumbered Afghan forces to supervise them.
U.S. troops abandoned the base overnight on July 2 and the prisoners were filmed being freed by the Taliban on August 15.
Military experts have pinpointed the sudden, overnight withdrawal of US troops from Bagram on July 2 as the moment the U.S. gave Afghanistan away.
In the 24 hours since Thursday, the U.S. has only evacuated 300 Americans from Kabul but up to 1,000 remain stranded.
