HOME DEPOT EMPLOYEE IS NOT GREAT IN U.S. HISTORY
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/21/16 | Jeff Crouere

Sadly, Ms. Lake is unaware of our proud history and what needs to be done to restore our country’s greatness. She does not appreciate our many freedoms and American exceptionalism

It is sad that so many of our young people today are clueless about our country’s distinguished history. In a troubling story this week that generated national headlines, a 22-year-old Home Depot employee, Krystal Lake, of Staten Island, New York, was pictured at work wearing a hat that read, “America Was Never Great.”

The disturbing image sparked an explosion of online comments from across the nation with people expressing both support and opposition to her political message. A Home Depot spokesman responded to the controversy by claiming that her hat was in violation of their company policy and that “no one on our management team saw her wearing the hat, otherwise they would have had her remove it immediately.”

She’s the perfect example of a liberal education.

But , can she read cursive ?
Ever read the Constitution, or read the "Bill of Rights" ?

Krystal,

In this great nation, you’re allowed to wear a stupid hat like that. However, I am not so sure it’s a smart thing to wear at work.

Some people just need someone to blame for all their failures.

“no one on our management team saw her wearing the hat,...”

I believe this unbelievable statement. Our Home Depot has horribly clueless management, too.

The photo was created with photoshop.

Subject was a customer of Home Depot.

No they don’t.

The photo was photoshoped.

A leftist creation.

She never heard of such things as cursive, the Constitution or its first 10 amendments, aka “the Bill of Rights” ...

That she is still employed is a perfect example of Black Privilege. Can you imagine a white employee coming to work wearing a hat that said "Gays Suck"? He'd be fired so fast the vortex would tear his clothes.

But Krystal is black. And female. And an America-hater. So she gets a bye.

On the other hand, I suspect a lot of Home Depot's customers are do-it-yourself construction types, blue-collar men and women who don't take kindly to seeing their country maligned by a spoiled, ignorant twit. If the Home office decides to tacitly endorse her sentiments by doing nothing, I have to imagine many of those customers will take their business elsewhere.

No they did not. They said nobody saw her with the hat.

The pic was on the web for the past 2 days on Twitter. Those who put it there admitted it was from a picture of a customer. I saw the photo of the customer and the hat.

I don’t even believe the apron with Krystol on it is a Home Depot Apron. It is as phony as Obozo’s COLB.

I know about Home Depot’s management. I spent 35 years in the Wholesale Hardware Distribution business. They were competitors to my customers. They ARE NOT Leftists.

This is a pure BS event that Canada Free Press got tricked into posting an article about. The leftist perps are laffing their A off.

I believe a real life education is in order for this doofus.

A year or two in Iran or China might, just might, give her the education that she sorely lacks.
