Shrieking Trump Voter Attacks Store Workers for Anti-White Discrimination in Obscene Racist Rant



CHICAGO -- A shrieking shopper launched into an obscene racist rant at a Michael’s 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:

On the night before Thanksgiving, I witnessed a white woman engage in a 30 minute racist rant (complete with yelling and cursing and repeated references to the fact that employees were African American) against the employees at a Chicago Michaels store – because she did not like that they offered her the option to purchase a re-usable shopping bag for her larger items.

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.

... didn't lose this election because they lacked vision or good ideas, didn't understand the working-class, didn't reach out to people in the "right" states, didn't get their "message" across, didn't hold enough rallies, didn't address the concerns of everyday citizens, didn't run enough TV ads, didn't "frame" things properly, were too "establishment", too "status quo", too concerned with raising the minimum wage, too defensive of immigrants, too focused on education, too determined to promote equality.

They lost because of people like this.

This woman, who forgot to take her meds, lacks the judgment to represent herself or vote for someone else as a representative of the people. She should have been arrested for disorderly conduct and disrupting the business.

... Ms-Off-Her-Meds was out voting for Trump, a bunch of so-called "intelligent people" were voting for Jill Stein - or not voting at all.

Will someone get this rant to her boss, so she no longer has a '$90,000/year' job to brag about?
