It's not very good for business. There is no doubt that Management (floor walkers) knew about her anti-American hat. They chose to ignore it. She is a senior Journalism Major & her Mother was a Journalist ..... she knew what she was doing and how to promote it. Home Depot will get some fallout for anti-American propaganda on Memorial Day weekend. Timing is everything - just ask Media Expert Krystal.

America Was Never Great is a common message among certain crowds.
She gained her 15 minutes of Fame and can now be a Snowflake Hero.

She may have gotten away with it for now, but she needs to cross all her 'Ts' and dot every 'I' from now on. She has to be on their poop list for doing this and they will be looking for every legal opportunity to get rid of her for causing them national embarrassment.

a white female made racially derogatory comments regarding obama shortly after he won re-election and was fired.

i remember a thread on here with conservatives defending the white women, saying we don't have free speech anymore and that the company was denying her basic rights, and that they were pc for getting rid of her.

she was in the same category as this girl, working in retail for a major outlet.

if conservatives were defending that white women's basic rights for free speech (which i think was a stupid argument to begin with), why arn't they doing it in this case.

Probably the same reason you'll never see the left wingers defend that white women for saying anti Obama things.

So you are complaining that the white woman was fired but this woman who violated HD's store policy got a pass and kept her job.

Gonna be fun for her when the big boss reads about it. He is a major Trump supporter. She better start looking for another job.

That will have an additional roadblock. Where her head is will require the installation of a window in her stomach.

So based on a hypothetical thread from about 4 or more years ago, you are looking for someone to incorrectly stand behind and support what this woman did which had no standing in law or likely in store policy?

If you are referring to Langone, he was one of the original founders, though more an investor type founder, instead of actively running the business. I'm sure he still owns a bunch of stock, so can swing a big stick. But, he does not run the business, not is he the big boss. He does support Mr Trump.
