It's worth noting the target of the tirade was trying to help her - while her favorite congresscritters and the Dump administration are trying to destroy her life.

Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure denounced the behavior of a woman who used a racial slur against a customer in one of his dealer's stores, but also has invited her to meet with him to explain what drove her behavior.

Claure, who is of Bolivian descent, condemned the woman's comments to another customer, which were captured on video and shared on social media. He headlined his statement, "Racism Has No Place At Sprint."

Claure said he and thousands of his Sprint colleagues were "disgusted" by the woman's "profane, threatening and ugly language." Claure also invited the customer who was the target of her comments to meet with him.

"It's time to talk. It's time to learn. It's time to heal. That's why I'm inviting this woman and her husband to meet privately with me so I can better understand what drives comments and behavior like this," Claure said. "I'd like to share my views with her as well. I also invite the customer she attacked, Juan, to meet with me. This kind of behavior is not tolerated in any Sprint workplace."
