A California woman who confronted a man wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat in a Starbucks and then threatened him on Facebook has lost her job.
"If you see him in this hat please confront him. You do not want to be the person who didn’t speak up as we slipped into fascism," the woman posted on Facebook.
"Anybody in Palo Alto know this freak? He was sitting in Starbucks. I think he lives in Palo Alto. He will never forget me and will think seriously about wearing that hat in my town ever again," posted a woman who has been identified as Rebecca Mankey on a Facebook page Monday with pictures of the man.
She then commented on the post that she was going to stand outside of the man's job and"make him feel as unsafe as he made every brown person he met today."as Victor, remembers Mankey coming up to him and asking if he was wearing the MAGA hat, which is worn by some supporters of President Donald Trump.
A statement from Gryphon Strings, the music store where Mankey worked, said the owners"do not condone harassment or hate speech of any kind.""Music has historically been something that has brought people of diverse socio-political backgrounds together," the statement said."We would like to make it clear that the opinions expressed and actions taken by the employee are not indicative of how we conduct ourselves at the shop.
