She's angry.

Welcome to the era of trump

she is just fighting for her freedom

Sorry this happened to her. My first thought was, why go to Houston? Was that City part of the big breakout of Covid-19

How many days in a row for re-upping this story, ? Too bad there’s nothing more timely to report on.

Reminds me of the person they should have arrested who was black and screaming white people need to die.

Unbelievable.

No justice, no peace.

Slapping these morons on the wrist isn't going to cut it anymore. These people are criminals, THUGS, and should be treated accordingly.

Ya tried this a few days ago. Got drug and shelved it. Until such time as the streets are clearing via curfew.

How long did it take to arrest this woman?

“Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the incident” 🤔

Instead of cancelling a lot of other stuff because they don’t fit 2020 standards, why not cancel Karens.

Meanwhile its people like her now saying violence doesnt solve anything

Another Trump supporter heard from.

Whoa. Crazies abound.

肏你妈

Good. I hope she’s convicted and pays for her racist acts.

Nice to see justice against a racist. It might be only one, but if we keep heading this direction, more examples will hopefully deter others. Keep your racism in the closet. We have no time for your ignorance.

Ah, Irish Americans. Stay classy.

I want to know WHY she did what she did. You cannot tell by looking at Dr. Franco that she is Mexican. Looks like pearly white Euro trash.

George Zimmerman a darker Hispanic made out to be a white man to push false narrative of racism when Zimmerman has Black Panamanian grandfather. Now those guys & Chaco Dist in Colombia are black as coal.

The consequences of Democrat Party speech of hate bully and disrespect of an elected President ! Demo- rats

Ignorance into evil souls.bad combination ..no matter the skin color

So glad.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America. He dug up all the closet radical racist and told them that they had a right to act like the animals that they have always been!

Lock her up

If you wanna shot somebody maybe it should be this stupid redneck?!? Dontcha think! texasstupidty

I wonder what the circumstances are that we do not know such as the treatment of her husband and his state of health. Wow sad to see

And you think continuously posting this woman’s face on Twitter is a good idea right now?

A true trump supporter, the GOP must be so proud right now !

Karen Alert

The woman is wearing a Mexico 🇲🇽 flag on her t-shirt...there’s obviously more to this story than is being told.

All while wearing a tshirt decked with the flag of Ireland!

Good I hope she goes to jail! POS

OliviaMesser No knee on her neck? Not shot to death. Not black I conclude.

selectedwisdom

I bet she a had a smart, decent father 👍

selectedwisdom So much winning.

selectedwisdom Meet a mother of Trump’s movement.

selectedwisdom JFC the irony of this idiot wearing a shirt with an Irish flag - does she have any idea that we were once the outcast immigrants? Uneducated America, disgusting.

selectedwisdom 👍👏👍👏👍👏

kenklippenstein USA is a mess

While wearing the flag of another country. Man White folks have really lost the plot in America haven’t they!

chick_in_kiev Can white women **please** take a day off? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Naked(?!?!) protests for having to use a face mask, phoning police on a black man for asking them to leash a dog, ‘rehoming’ (🤮) a child they adopted then exploited on YouTube, threatening health workers with hammers 😐 Jesus Christ

Texas is an open carry state?

kenklippenstein Charge her with crimes against humanity and hate crimes.

Awe man I thought we were cool with the Irish.

White people give zero fucks in this country 😆

kenklippenstein TomiLahren do you love doctors with your whole heart? Do you condemn it?nope. You sympathize with the sociopath.

Man, Jane Foster looks worse than I remember...

kenklippenstein Murderous Karen that is some Get Out shit

chick_in_kiev Say it you cowards - Irish woman!

kenklippenstein old boy karen

kenklippenstein hammer karen is not one I expected

Racism needs to stop. We are one race the human race. Bet she didn't ask for the color of the skin of the person who made the shirt she is wearing as it was not from the USA. Or the car she is driving. Hypocrisy NOH8

HEAD OF THE LOCAL KAREN KAREN KAREN CHAPTER

Wonders shall never end in the US.. I think she needs to be checked mentally

The middle-aged white women with the bleach blonde Ric Flair hair be the worst ones.

*profanity-laced racial rant, as stated in the title of the article. No one tell her the Republic of Ireland is very progressive though.

How about al those rioters who destroyed black communities?

DartDClark Fox News superfan

is that an ireland shirt? ireland, y'all want her back?

Andrea_51544005

All the karens have a certain look.

Trump's people. Deplorables

Meanwhile liberals are burning down every city in America but let's continue to obsess over this unimportant story.

Let me guess, she’s a Trump supporter....

LOCK HER UP!, LOCK HER UP!, LOCK HER UP! - just saying what realDonaldTrump says.... Go figure 😂

Is it just me or are we seeing mostly white poeple are initiating/leading these trashings? Riots

White supremacists . White supremacists emboldened by a racist president everywhere.

The woman is psychotic. Leave her alone. Stop looking for clicks at the expense of obviously sick people.

Karen thinks she’s Thor!

Karen

Hi karen, you come at us and we will eat you alive.

Da south

Lots of psychos out there 🥴

Is that Karen's mom?

Karen put that hammer down. geeze

Another Karen they’re all coming out. Racist bitch

'Very nice people ' of America! Times are changing, and they better get used to it!

At least put your mask on right. Just saying.

I wonder how this woman votes.

She seems nice

I wonder if she’s single?

I wonder who she votes for?

The msm media is responsible for the riots with their constant hate mongering.

Charge her ass!

I thought you guys had articles saying it was.only BernieBros voting for him?
