The owner of the store tried to play the "I'm the real victim, here" card.

But then she backwatered and apologized.
“In NO WAY did I intend to trivialize the Star of David or disrespect what happened to millions of people. That is not who I am & what I stand for,” Gaskins wrote. “My intent was not to exploit or make a profit. My hope was to share my genuine concern & fear, and to do all that I can to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again. I sincerely apologize for any insensitivity.”
I call bullshit. The motive was to make a profit, whether or not she believed what she was spouting. She was happily playing the victim/cancel culture card until some of the companies whose products she sold decided they didn't want any part of this shit.
As a result of the offensive content and opinions shared by HatWRKS in Nashville, Stetson and our distribution partners will cease the sale of all Stetson products. We thank you for your continued support and patience.

But it seems that what she did was in keeping with her conduct:Due to the recent offensive content shared by Hatwrks in Nashville, Goorin Bros. has ended their distribution with this business effective immediately. Thank you for the continued support.

In case anyone is on the fence about this #HatWRKS woman, she was part of the insurrection, and dam* proud of it. pic.twitter.com/X34DeO461P

So what we have here is a businesswoman who was happy to spread hate and fascism until it started to cost her real money. Then, all of a sudden, she discovers that maybe she shouldn't be trying to make a buck off of the Holocaust in service of her Orange Master. But you can bet that she'll be privately complaining to her QAnon buddies until the day she lies down for her dirt nap.
I'd be curious how many were sold . and how many "real muricans" are going to be supporting her. sigh
ReplyDeleteLong ago, in a America far away...
ReplyDeleteActions have consequences, but some people seem to have skipped that part of civics class back in school. (Do they even teach that anymore?). Next you’ll hear from the right about the Companies trying to influence culture by refusing to sell to her.

Bet she has the overwhelming support of her church, friends and online 'community'. She'll do fine, probably 35-45% of US voters agree with her. The racism and desire to hurt and murder is baked in.
ReplyDeleteShe's got the right idea, just the wrong approach: armbands. The unvaccinated should be required to wear yellow armbands with a pink "T". No armband, no proof of vaccination, send them to the camps. The education camps. Can't send them to re-education camps.
ReplyDeleteJason Isbell on Twitter called them "Ugly-ass hats for ugly asshats."

ReplyDelete"Hats off" to Stetson for calling this creep out.

She did get the Vax... the one that confers immunity to
ReplyDeletedecency, reality, facts, and history as an inconvenient
lie.
Like said earlier, reeducation is not possible, without
an existing education.
The stupid is strong with that one.
Eck!
