Source: The Hill



By Michael Burke - 10/22/18 09:19 PM EDT



A white woman confronted a Spanish-speaking family last week at a Virginia restaurant and demanded that they "show me your passports" in video that has since gone viral.

The woman can be heard in the video screaming at a Guatemalan woman and her family, telling them to "go back to your f-----g country." She also tells the family not to "freeload on America" and repeatedly asks for their passports.

Later in the video, the woman is seen continuing her tirade outside the restaurant, saying, "I'm tired of this shit."

The woman who was berated recorded the video and shared it with Telemundo 44 in Washington, D.C.................

A bigoted Trump supporter isn't going to change their tune whether you call them a racist asshole, Telephone Tammy, or ask them nicely "please sir/madam, won't you reconsider?"

The ridicule is for us to savor.

The add it to their names on message boards . I have seen more than one woman wearing a shirt stating "trump can grab my pusssy " . Just like the left adopting nasty woman and they'll do the same with whatever we refer to them as . (Them and they doesnt mean ALL of them and they ).
Cutesy names trivialize the dangerousness of what theyre doing

Thank you for feeling sufficiently comfortable in those views to express them, thereby making a spectacle of yourself—and allowing all who witnessed “the incident” on October 19, 2018 to understand what a vile and loathsome individual you are.

Thank you for disrupting the rights of others who were enjoying an evening of camaraderie in a confined public space.

Thank you for strengthening our belief that all people have the right to pursue happiness, which is what they were in the process of doing when you chose to regale them with your idiotic values.

Thank you for using profanity in expressing your views.

Thank you for providing the employees of Andy’s with an opportunity to demonstrate the precepts of the common law behind that First Amendment, which indicate that although you have the right to declare your despicable views, you also have the obligation to bear the consequences for speaking them.

Thank you for showing us—through your actions—that all people have the right to be respected.

Thank you—and we mean this with all the aforementioned respect that you rightfully deserve—for never returning to Andy’s. You are not welcome.

I doubt this lady has ever traveled to Europe or knows anything about Sweden. Trump and the right wing media were carrying on about Sweden last year. This lady is a toxic mix of shitty media and low IQ.

I agree about the toxic mix... These white supremacists seems to be coming out of the woodwork everywhere. They are emboldened. And they obviously have no problem with immigration from Sweden... or Slovenia, the birthplace of our "Genius" visa procuring First "Lady" and her chain migration parents (who I doubt speak much English at all).

Because I am confident that any DU member would have jumped to her defense.

As much as I might disagree with many here at times, one trait we all seem to share is a burning hatred of injustice and the willingness to take action.
