The finger-wagging woman demanded that the family, visiting from Guatemala, produce passports.

A white woman’s racist rant at a family of Central American visitors for speaking Spanish at a Virginia restaurant was so fierce it prompted calls to police.

The unidentified woman can be seen on disturbing cellphone video approaching the family inside Andy’s restaurant in Lovettsville, in the state’s northern tip, and launching into a finger-wagging tirade. She angrily ordered the family members to “go back to [their] f―-ing country” and show her their passports.

One of the Spanish-speaking diners, who didn’t want to give her name, told NBC 4 that she was there with her 7-year-old daughter and family members visiting from Guatemala when they were approached by the unhinged stranger.

3. One thing we can do to help, if we don't already.

Is learn to speak Spanish.

It's the best way to welcome our neighbors to the south, and it's the best way to culture jam this piece of Trump's agenda.

4. trDump said I could be hateful, nasty, and mean. So I publicly...

... show my Fascism every chance I get. It is my badge of honor and patriotism and Right as an American.

6. The response from the restaurant was a classic!

One of those things that makes you wish you had the chance to say the same thing to her:

Words of Thanks to a Former Customer

Thank you for understanding that you have a right to express your venomous and vitriolic views—no matter how odious and ignorant—under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Thank you for feeling sufficiently comfortable in those views to express them, thereby making a spectacle of yourself—and allowing all who witnessed “the incident” on October 19, 2018 to understand what a vile and loathsome individual you are.

Thank you for disrupting the rights of others who were enjoying an evening of camaraderie in a confined public space.

Thank you for strengthening our belief that all people have the right to pursue happiness, which is what they were in the process of doing when you chose to regale them with your idiotic values.

Thank you for using profanity in expressing your views.

Thank you for providing the employees of Andy’s with an opportunity to demonstrate the precepts of the common law behind that First Amendment, which indicate that although you have the right to declare your despicable views, you also have the obligation to bear the consequences for speaking them.

Thank you for showing us—through your actions—that all people have the right to be respected.

Thank you—and we mean this with all the aforementioned respect that you rightfully deserve—for never returning to Andy’s. You are not welcome.

7. Ignorance is ugly.

That's not a reflection on her looks. Simply expressing a view. That ignorance is ugly.

8. So I take it the finger wager has never been to Florida,Texas,New MEXICO or So Cal...

Or never saw who mows her lawn, picks her veggies, or cooks her restaurant food...
