CHICAGO -- A shrieking shopper launched into an obscene racist rant at a Michaels check-out counter the night before Thanksgiving, claiming she was the victim of anti-white discrimination.
And I voted for Trump, so there, she screamed. And look who won. And look who won. And look who won.
Jessie Grady recorded 17 minutes of the 30-minute incident on her cell phone and posted it on a GoFundMe page to raise money for the African American cashier who was being attacked. The GoFundMe page had raised nearly $5,000 as of this posting.
Wrote Grady:
I was directly in front of this customer in line, I stopped at the exit to show my 2 year old a Christmas ornament and witnessed first-hand that the Michaels employees did nothing to provoke this verbal attack, and in fact treated all customers with professionalism and courtesy. I was so shocked by this unprovoked attack that I captured 17 minutes of it on video on my phone.

They lost because of people like this.
