A Starbucks employee was fired after writing a critical message In a drink order for an admirer of the murdered right -wing commentator Charlie Kirk.

The message came to light when Autumn Perkins, a resident of Ohio, shared a photo on Facebook of a drink that had asked a Starbucks inside a Kroger in Middletown, coinciding with the hometown of vice president JD Vance.

After Perkins ordered Kirk’s favorite drink, which has since been popularized by his followers, a “mint mint” tea with two mothers, the barista wrote “racist Fav Drink” in the Perkins Cup.

“Starbucks’s girl thought it was pretty,” Perkins wrote in the September 21 publication along with a photo of the message in her drink. “Don’t even support Starbucks [because] Of everything they represent to start with their satanic logo, but support Charlie Kirk, so I thought you know what … I will receive your drink. “(The Starbucks logo presents a siren).

Perkins continued: “Thank you Starbucks for demonstrating exactly why I prefer to support my small local Christian local cafeteria. [applause emoji]. ”

Kirk was deadly shot while talking with students from the University of Utah Valley on September 10. Following his death, the Trump administration and others have tried to silence the critics of the intolerant, racist, xenophobic and misogynist comments of Kirk.

In a statement to News themezone, a Starbucks spokesman said: “Writing this in a cup is unacceptable. We have policies that prohibit negative messages to help preserve a cozy environment.”

The spokesman added that the unidentified employee has been fired by Kroger. The Starbucks location is operated and licensed by Kroger.

Perkins could not be contacted to comment.

Kirk’s supporters have asked Starbucks to honor him by adding his beverage order to the menus throughout the country. The campaign, called “Charlie Kirk’s Starbucks request in each Starbucks menu”, began at Change.org on September 14.

Almost a week after Kirk’s death, Starbucks said in a press release that he has “clear policies that prohibit political slogans or negative messages to help preserve a cozy environment.”

The coffee chain also pointed out that a client has the right to “use a different name, including the name Charlie Kirk” if you wish when you make an order.
