In a tragic case of woke culture run amok, Autumn Perkins, an Ohio woman, ordered Charlie Kirk’s favorite Starbucks drink, Mint Majesty tea with two honey packets, at a Kroger-operated location in Middletown and found “racist’s fav drink” written on her cup.
For context, an employee admitted to the vile comments and was fired. In reaction, Perkins called for an end to such “nonsense” and vowed to boycott Starbucks with her family. Likewise, Starbucks deemed the message unacceptable, and Kordger stated that the interaction did not reflect their values.
In any case, Autumn Perkins expressed her frustration with the incident. “It’s time for people to stop this nonsense,” she announced, “I would agree that people should be fired if they’re doing something like this… actions have repercussions.”
Building on this point, she tied her reaction to Kirk’s thoughts. Perkins said, “I feel like Charlie stood for respect — we don’t have to agree on everything. We can disagree on a lot of things, but we respect each other.”
Winding down her comments, she expressed worry about the loss of respect. “We can’t communicate and grow if we’re disrespecting each other,” she said, “Charlie stood for respect. We can disagree but still respect each other.”
Additionally, the Ohio woman indicated that she would be boycotting the coffee retailer going forward, saying, “I don’t intend to spend another penny at Starbucks — and as far as I’m concerned, neither will my children or anybody else in my family who will listen to me.”
In any attempt to control the public relations nightmare, Starbucks issued a complete denunciation. “Writing this on a cup is unacceptable, and we have clear policies that prohibit negative messages to help preserve a welcoming environment. This Starbucks location is licensed and operated by Kroger. We understand that this associate was terminated by Kroger,” the retailer wrote.

This unnamed Starbucks worker is far from the only one to face consequences for their violent actions. As we reported, Matthew Dowd, an MSNBC personality who argued that Charlie had brought his assassination upon himself because he pushed his “hateful thoughts,” has been let go.
Melting down about the consequences of his actions, he whined, “I said: ‘You know and I know that’s not anything what I meant. You know it’s been misconstrued,’ and they agreed with that. They agreed it had been misconstrued. But they said it didn’t matter. The decision’s been made.”
Slaming his own side, he compared his firing to that of so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel. “All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely suspended. And now … they’re talking … not an iota about what their employer just did to another employee,” Dowd complained.
Specifically, Dowd was let go for his initial reaction to Kirk’s slaying. He said, “But following up with what was just said, he’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech, or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”
