In yet another case of the left weaponizing outrage to ruin someone’s life, an Ohio woman has been fired from her job after a restaurant receipt with a pro-Trump message went viral.
The controversy began at Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Columbus, Ohio, when a customer allegedly wrote, “I hope Trump deports you!!!” on the signature line of her receipt instead of leaving a tip. The restaurant quickly seized the moment, posting the receipt on social media, where it spread like wildfire.
The receipt included the name **Stephanie Lovins**, a longtime real estate agent with 27 years of experience at Century 21. Internet sleuths wasted no time tracking her down, leading to a predictable online harassment campaign that ultimately cost her job.
Lovins took to Facebook, claiming she was a victim of identity theft, saying, **“My credit card was lost/stolen and someone attempted to use it.”** She insisted the controversy was the work of scammers and hackers but was met with overwhelming hostility from the online mob, eager to see her punished.
Despite Lovins’ denial, the restaurant’s marketing manager, Fabio Oribio, claimed CCTV footage proved she was the one who left the note. Century 21 caved to the pressure and quickly cut ties with her, releasing a statement declaring, **“Hate has no place within the Century 21 brand.”**
The restaurant, eager to capitalize on the attention, issued a virtue-signaling statement about “tolerance” and “acceptance.” They also revealed that the waiter in question, named Ricardo, is a U.S. citizen working two jobs—information seemingly meant to tug at heartstrings while ignoring the broader discussion about illegal immigration that President Trump has made a national priority.
A **GoFundMe campaign** was then launched for Ricardo, which has already raised over $8,800, proving once again that the left will financially reward anyone they can turn into a “victim” of Trump supporters.
Meanwhile, conservatives face real discrimination in the workplace, with many losing jobs simply for expressing their political beliefs—yet they receive no such sympathy.
This incident is just the latest in a growing trend of people being “canceled” for anything deemed politically incorrect. The left has embraced a culture of silencing and punishing anyone who dares to support President Trump, even indirectly.
These kinds of public shamings have surged since Trump’s presidency, with **mass firings, doxxing, and online harassment campaigns** now standard operating procedure for the radical left. The message is clear: If you support President Trump, even in a private setting, the woke mob will come for you.
While Democrats attempt to frame cases like this as “accountability,” the reality is much darker—it’s intimidation, plain and simple. As President Trump prepares for his second term, his promise of **mass deportations** has reignited the left’s hysteria, making examples of ordinary Americans like Lovins to send a chilling warning: Fall in line, or face the consequences.
With cases like this becoming more common, conservatives must ask: How long before simply voting for Trump becomes a fireable offense?
