Racist woman in New Jersey harasses a contractor and says "speak American" [View all]

It took a couple reads to figure out what was going on. so apparently 'Peggy' was on the sidewalk hearing one of the contractors communicate in Spanish and she throws a fit. The woman who is getting her house worked on comes out to confront her and does a Tik Tok clip. Peggy eventually tells the woman to mind her own business which I find hilarious.

Peggy's head would have exploded at my house earlier in the year when I was getting my roof done. American errr English was not spoken very much there either.
