Chico Target shopper's rant about employee's Charlie Kirk shirt blows up
"This is going to be taken above your (expletive) head, Ponce says to Beeman in the video. That's insane. Insane. In-(expletive)-sane. Piece of (expletive). Beeman tells Ponce, I'm sorry but I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. Have a nice day. Charlie Kirk is the late founder of the on-campus conservative group Turning Point USA. He was well known for his viral videos debating college students across America before he was shot and killed during a debate in Utah in September."
"This individual berated her fellow Californian with unwarranted fury because she was wearing a shirt supporting Charlie Kirk, wrote MacDonald in the description of the fundraiser. Now, we are hoping to raise enough money so that she can afford a much-needed vacation. A time for her to relax, recharge and just forget about the ugliness. Jeanie from Target In a phone interview with this newspaper, Beeman said she's worn the shirt four or five times,"
A shopper identified on TikTok as Michelea Ponce confronted 72-year-old Target employee Jeanie Beeman over a Charlie Kirk shirt and used profanity, called her stupid and accused her of supporting a racist. Beeman said she was allowed to wear any red shirt and declined to argue, responding, "I'm sorry but I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. Have a nice day." The video went viral, Ponce's social pages were made private, and a GiveSendGo fundraiser organized by Cassandra MacDonald raised pledges exceeding $150,000 in its first day. Beeman said she had worn the shirt several times without prior issue.
