'Lockdown Karen' who was caught on camera screaming homophobic slurs is arrested for storming the Ca

Trump supporter Gina Michelle Bisignano, who owns a beauty salon in Beverly Hills, has been arrested by the FBI (Department of Justice)

A woman who was caught on camera screaming homophobic slurs at a COVID conspiracy rally has been arrested in connection with the storming of the Capitol.

Trump supporter Gina Michelle Bisignano, who owns a beauty salon in Beverly Hills, first made the news in November when a clip surfaced of her screaming homophobic epithets while taking part in a rally against lockdown restrictions.

Bisignano was dubbed ‘Lockdown Karen’ after screaming at a person filming the protest: “You’re a faggot. I said it. I don’t give a s**t. You’re disgusting… you’re a fag. What are you, a guy or a girl?”

Two months on from the incident, the avid Trump supporter is facing federal charges for allegedly taking part in the storming of the US Capitol in Washington DC on 6 January.

From the linked article:

... her Yelp page appears to have been targeted with inauthentic five-star reviews from Trump supporters, giving her a five-star rating on the platform after every comment condemning her homophobia was removed.


Appears that Yelp is showing favoritism toward the business owner and allowing phony reviews to stand. I’d like to know the mechanism by which the criticism was scrubbed. Did money exchange hands? If it’s that easy to improve one’s standing on Yelp, WTF good are they?
