Texas nurse calls Islam 'terrorist organization' at supermarket, gets over $85K from supporters who believe she only said the quiet part loud

Texas nurse Dasha Kilpatrick, who went viral after her Islamophobic attack on two hijab-clad women at the H-E-B store in Conroe, Texas, got around $85k raised in her support as many people came forward and defended her action and called her 'brave'. In the viral video, Kilpatrick, while shopping, told the hijab-clad women that they were not welcome in Texas or in the US.

"...you worship a terrorist who is a warlord, a pedophile and Islam is a terrorist organization, not a religion," the nurse whose identity was later revealed said. "I am very educated on this subject," Dasha added. "This is not a Muslim country. This is a Christian country. You need to leave. You need to go back to your Islamic country where you came from," she said.

The Muslim women were surprised and even asked Dasha how she could work in healthcare with so little kindness.
