wonder if Publix has any surveillance video of this going down. If something did happen, I am willing to bet her account of it is over the top exaggeration.

I have a feeling this is her trying to get attention and what better way for a democrat to get attention? Whip out the race card.

She was a little smart about this. If she would have accused a Publix employee of saying it then it would have forced Publix to release the video of this because it certainly never happened.

By blaming it on random white man the video maybe never gets released.

Not bloody likely.

Publix is like Chickfila when it comes to friendly staff. Everyone is nice at Publix. I don’t believe for a second this happened.

First off, she had more than fifteen items.

Second of all, I hope someone did direct her to the correct line.

Third, I bet video would disapprove that there was anything racist about it.

Forth, she says she intentionally disobeyed the rules because she didn't think the rules should apply to her.

That last one is the real issue here. So many people think the rules shouldn't apply to them. And when they are reminded the rules apply to them, they get upset.

She will prove the race card still works.

Chances it actually happened? Zero

Chances she lied or distorted the truth so she could virtue signal? 100 percent

It probably wasn't getting released anyway.

Doesn't matter though; seems like the guy showed back up at Publix and gave an interview.

Update ?? on @itsericathomas #IStandWithErica situation. The guy went back up to @Publix trying to clear his name, and began doing an interview with local news. Claiming he only called her a lazy Son of a Bitch and is accusing her of pulling a stunt! Unacceptable!

You’re probably imagining an elderly white man who looked like he was on his way to a #Trump rally did this. Wrong. State Rep @itsericathomas says he’s mid 40s, in plaid shorts wearing glasses. After the incident not one customer or @Publix employee asked if she was ok!

.@Publix needs to stop delaying & #ReleaseTheTape immediately so police can track him down. Based on the description he could be a teacher, officer, or whatever. I don’t want him going to work on Monday supervising anybody if this what he does on the weekends. #IStandWithErica

Not possible. I saw this and knew she was lying on multiple fronts. I live north of Atlanta and people who shop at Publix do not behave the way she is categorizing she was treated. Maybe at Kroger but not at Publix. Too many “add on” lies. First she had 15 items; then she had 10 and her daughter had 5. Later the person called her more names than first reported. Plus the area she was in is a lib zone. No normal people live in that area so no one would have said anything.

I was coming here to post this. Less than 0% chance this happened, but MSM is running with it.

People who get in the 10 item line with more than 10 items also don't put their carts in the cart corral and don't tip …. and lie.

Send em back had nothing to do with Black folks living in America as Americans. This is going to be pushed but ending in a nothing burger.

Good thing Publix has all of their registers under video surveillance. Let’s see this act of overt racism! It’s important and should be super easy
To get the tapes!

Video of her & the guy on the news

Allegedly this is the guy who said this to her. The "victim" wants to do an interview with "SB 46" (CBS 46 is local news) & the man she's accusing shows up. So what does she do? She does what all Democrat victims do. She projects.

She projects that it is the man trying to get his "five minutes of fame" by showing up because "SB 46" & the police were there. But she also interrupts him at every turn, pointing her finger in his face.

Hillary Clinton was in Atlanta this week whining about Trump & "go back" stuff. This lady is just trying to jump on the bandwagon for her "five minutes of fame." Seriously, if the guy really said that, why would he show up & put his face on camera? Because it's a lie.
