Idiot of the Week: Racist, Homophobic Tennessee Woman (and a Bonus Idiot)

Are they ever going to stop with the hatred and bigotry? This week's Idiot went on video, proudly displaying both.
These Trump supporters just keep opening their racist, homophobic mouths and losing their jobs
because companies do not want to be associated with their horrible behavior.
    From the white woman with a dog in NYC filing a false police report claiming a black man was harassing her (he wasn't) to an idiot white guy in Georgia that screamed at an elderly person in Costco, who simply asked him to put on a mask during this pandemic, now to a white woman in Tennessee, who went on a homophobic, racist rant. All three of them rightly lost their jobs. At least companies understand this behavior is unacceptable. Sadly, a couple of them didn't apologize and realize they were wrong (and bigots). So, no sympathy here. You got what you deserve people. Maybe after November, they'll all crawl back under their rocks.
    Meanwhile, here's the story about this week's IDIOT... (and a BONUS idiot who said "Science Shouldn't stand in the way of opening schools").

Woman fired after viral video shows her screaming racist and homophobic slurs at rally

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. — An Elizabethton woman has been fired after yelling racial and homophobic slurs at a Black Lives Matter rally this weekend.

Keith Family Vision Clinic in Johnson City confirms Sonya Holt is no longer an employee there. She is the subject of a video that went viral over the weekend.

In the video, Holt is seen chanting, “White lives matter. White lives are better.”

She yells at another protester, “You’re a gay homosexual piece of crap who’s going to burn in hell."

Sierra Gilmer recorded the video. She said she isn’t surprised.

"The biggest thing to take away from this is just to realize that racism is in your community however much you think it might not be,” Gilmer said. “There are a lot of people that reached out to me saying that they didn't realize that this was happening in Elizabethton and they didn't realize there were people there like that.”

The clinic did not respond to our request for an interview.

BONUS  IDIOT #2-   "SCIENCE 'WON'T STAND IN
THE WAY' OF REOPENING SCHOOLS"
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Donald Trump’s insistence that schools reopen in the fall, saying that scientific findings about COVID-19 won’t “stand in the way” of resuming in-person instruction. “The President has said unmistakably that he wants schools to open ... and when he says ‘open’ he means open and full, kids being able to attend each and every day at their school,” McEnany said at a press briefing. “The science should not stand in the way of this.” She self-corrected moments later, saying, “The science is on our side here."
