Over the weekend, Francis lashed out at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville saying that she had made repeated attempts to dine at their restaurant but was not given a table, even though she is a member.
Francis suggested that the establishment was shunning her over politics.
'So excited to have @tony4ny tomorrow on @AftertheBell - happy you're in NYC even if Siwanoy shuns my family yet again,' she tweeted, promoting an interview with Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of the Treasury Tony Sayegh.
'They must prefer @CNN v @FoxNews. Oh well see you on the air!'
In a second tweet, the 45-year-old host who according to her Twitter is 'not a member of any party' added: 'We are member (sic) of Siwanoy Bronxville but somehow, they can't fit us in for dinner. Repeatedly. I'm sure it's a coincidence and not something more. Right? #NeverTrumpers #cnn #HillaryForever?'
