A Texas healthcare worker who became the focus of a viral social media storm after confronting two Muslim women in a grocery store is now receiving significant financial backing from supporters. Dasha Kilpatrick lost her job after a video of the encounter spread online, drawing widespread criticism and sparking debate over religious intolerance and free speech.
However, the backlash has been matched by support from some Americans who believe she was unfairly punished. A fundraiser launched on her behalf has already collected £70,000 ($92,451) as of this writing, highlighting the deep divisions surrounding the incident.
