Lyft bans Washington state man for racist rant over his alleged refusal to wear a mask
ISSAQUAH, Wash. A Lake Sammamish man has been banned from Lyft and fired from his job after he used racist, derogatory language and threatened to urinate inside a Lyft drivers car Tuesday night in Issaquah.
In a video shared by the driver David Kangogo, the rider went on a racist rant after he allegedly refused to wear a face covering inside Kangogos car, which is a policy with Lyft.
Kangogo says he picked the couple up from Malarkey's Sports Gril in Issaquah and then a few minutes into the ride, the man took off his mask and refused to put it back on. That's when Kangogo says he pulled over and ended the ride.
The video starts with the rider and his wife getting kicked out of the car. The rider then goes off on a racist rant while his wife can be heard in the background telling him to stop because she is also recording the incident on her phone.
