An elderly Target employee in California, Jeanie Beeman, was verbally abused by a customer for wearing a Charlie Kirk "Freedom" t-shirt while on duty. The video prompted a viral backlash against the abuser. Now, Beeman's response would almost assuredly make Charlie smile.
To be clear, the customer brought the backlash upon herself here, launching a profane verbal attack on the woman for wearing the t-shirt while restocking racks at her store.
The unhinged woman asks Beeman if she is "f**king stupid" and accuses her of supporting “a racist.”
"They let you wear that shirt here?" she asks. "Why the f**k would you wear that, you're at work at Target?"
So pleased with herself was she that the abuser actually was the one who posted the video to TikTok.
(WARNING: Language and psychotic leftism on display in video, be advised.)

Incredibly, the leftist Karen must have been the only person on the planet to have witnessed that exchange and felt she was the one who came out looking good. Why else would you post that to your own social media account?
Instead, the move backfired. Big time.
A vast majority of people saw an elderly Target employee handling an uptight heckler with grace and poise. They also saw (or at least heard) a woman who is obviously off her rocker. As evidenced by the medical center where she works having to hold a press conference begging people to stop calling and suggesting she be fired.
Mike Wiltermood, president and CEO of California-based Enloe Health, says they have received thousands of "profanity-laced" calls from people seeking to voice their opinion on their employee. He felt the need to go public, stating their system was being overwhelmed with calls that have “impeded our ability to serve patients and their families.”
Wiltermood actually praised Beeman's handling of the situation and knocked his own employee's "off-hours" behavior.
“As a human being, I’m sorry she went through that, and I admire her resilience,” he said. "This isn’t about politics. This is about how we treat each other, and decorum.”
Speaking of treating people with kindness, Beeman's response to whether or not she'd personally like to see the woman fired is all class.
NEW: Ms. Jeanie Beeman speaks out after being harassed over her Charlie Kirk shirt at Target and says she does not want her attacker fired.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right. She wronged me, but I don’t want to wrong her. I really wouldn’t want to see her lose her job over it.”… pic.twitter.com/FZumZoSjd9
“I don’t think that that’s right,” Beeman said. “Two wrongs don’t make a right, you know, she wronged me, but I don’t want to wrong her, or I don’t want her — her wronged, because it’s not going to make it right.”
Meanwhile, a GiveSendGo fundraiser has raised over $225,000 for Beeman. With that, she can buy as many red Charlie Kirk shirts as she'd like.
The unhinged woman has since expressed remorse for her actions, likely triggered by the fact that her job is now at stake.
"I want to take full responsibility for my actions and say clearly and sincerely that I was wrong. I behaved badly, and I regret it deeply,” she told Action News Now.
