There are so precious few good things to come out of the COVID period, that we’ve all been forced to endure, but the “Karen would like to see the manager” is unquestionably one of the few positives and a meme we’ve long needed. Now, like all good memes, the Right-wing quickly tried to adopt it for their own purposes, but it obviously doesn’t work for them. Very little does.

As near everyone knows, most good Karen memes arise out of “masks” because Karen doesn’t like rules. Rules apply to other people. And Karen especially doesn’t like rules involving masks because she’s a MAGA and MAGAs don’t wear masks. There are only a few ways that a nation gets to near 600,000 dead and one of them involves refusals to wear masks. We have a new Karen video and this one goes spectacularly wrong, much more so than most. (Video Below)

We pick up the action from Crook and Liars who set out the description from Hollywood Unlocked:

A Florida Muslim woman recorded the moment when an angry Karen targeted her and her husband in a racist tirade at Walgreens.

Nahla Ebaid said the incident occurred while she went to a local Walgreens in Fort Lauderdale and the unknown woman was told by an employee to put her mask on due to the store’s policy. In the following caption on Ebaid’s Facebook, she explained that the woman ignored the employee and continued walking through the store and started her racist tirade against the couple.

“As this woman walks in, she was told by an employee to put on her mask…. she continued walking…I thought she didn’t hear the cashier so, I said “ma’am he’s talking to you!!!”. She replied “I wish I was from your country so I don’t have to wear a mask”, my friend replied back which country is that, she said “what ever country…… “ and so she went off with foul language and Spit on my friend’s arm and said first it was the black life matters then it’s the Asians and now the Muslims!!!!”

During the rant, the unknown woman also mocked Ebaid’s clothing and threatened to call the police. During her call to the police, she said Ebaid and her husband were threatening her at the store. However, she was arrested instead for falsely accusing the couple and cried that she wasn’t a “racist”, and had friends that were Muslim.

I’ll be damn. That didn’t work? What kind of cops are working Karen’s beat? Fair ones? GTFO! Really? Cops have very deservingly gotten a bad name lately – and hopefully more bad charges – but it appears this one knew what was up from the very beginning.

And gosh darn it. Karen didn’t understand that these “Americans” – not foreigners – know how to use social media and made sure that the entire incident was up real quick-like so that everyone could see the Karen for themselves.

Would you prefer YouTube? We have that, too:

The other nice thing about the entire “Karen” meme is that they so often get exactly what they deserve.
