A Colorado woman who was kicked out of a liquor store for refusing to comply with the store’s mandatory mask policy decided it would be a good idea to post a video of herself throwing a temper tantrum over the matter.
“I was harassed and assaulted, then thrown out of Molly’s Spirits in Lakeside, Colorado for not wearing a mask,” Ruby Mosso said in a video uploaded to her Facebook page.

“A customer ran her cart into me, workers and managers shoved me and put their hands in my face. Lakeside cops did nothing. I asked cops to get her, so I could press charges and they refused.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But Westword notes that many of Mosso’s accusations are directly contradicted by her own video:
Several of these statements are contradicted by the video itself, which is accurately labeled as a “Pandemic Freakout” in a Reddit thread that has generated well over 5,000 comments. The video begins with Musso saying, “‘Kay, there you go, let’s record now,” as she focuses her phone camera on a mask-wearing patron. The woman pushes her cart very close to Musso and [tells her to “get out of this f–king store.”] Musso responds, “Oh, really. Wow. Okay, that’s harassment. I’m filing charges.”
… “An order is not state law,” insists Musso, who appeared in a photo of demonstrations against a vaccination bill that’s now law published last month by the Denver Post. “You guys have no idea what legislature process is.” Near the end of the video, she declares, “I did nothing! I did nothing! I did nothing but not wear a mask, and look at all these Nazis in Nazi America. Nazi America! Oh my God, I love it!”
This week, Colorado Governor Jared Polis issued a statewide mask mandate ordering anyone over the age of 10 to wear masks in public.
Mosso later told her local news station that she suffers “a medical condition” that causes her have “extreme panic and anxiety” any time she wears a mask.

She is in Colorado so she could just smoke a joint and chill instead of showing the world what a whack job she is.

But that’s what causes her panic and anxiety!

An executive order is a state law.
How is that so hard to understand? The legislature granted the governor authority to execute policies, including emergencies with the full weight of the law.

“”Mosso later told her local news station that she suffers “a medical condition” that causes her have “extreme panic and anxiety” any time she wears a mask.””
Oh look, another Republican lying so they can put people in danger.

I don’t even have to look up her party affiliation to know Karen here is a Republican.
Yes. Selfishness if their core value.

“I have a medical condition. I get anxiety and panic from masks”. Oh Karen. Lol
Shouldn’t be staying home then? Did your Doctor prescribe booze for your condition?
I would’ve loved to see someone smack her hard. Maybe that would’ve helped Karen’s condition.
butchqueen
YES!!!

My favorite post of all time.

What a pathetic antagonistic toxic f*** c***! Always with a point off view, these Republicans… always contrary and always about themselves. Their arrogance is stupifying!

That woman has a mental illness, a bad mental illness. She needs to be escorted out of the store and NOT taken to the police station, she’s to be taken to a state mental institution until she can figure out how to get out. She recorded her own mental illness.

If the crazy Karen and the other whack-a-doodle republicans want to lie about having a medical issue preventing them from wearing a mask, fine. They need to start calling ahead to have curbside delivery waiting for them. All the Karens and Kens want to do is make a scene so they can see themselves on TV and display all their crazy in front of the world.

Put on a mask or else.

Why do people forget that privately owned businesses can set the rules of entering their property?
Doug
In the video, she’s acting like she owns the store. Sick of these people. I don’t want to wish covid on anyone. but…
Steve
These crazy ass physco Trumpers need to go away they can’t win. If they are going to do this and call the public Nazis why not lock them up in camps and let them deal with COVID running rampant
Doug
The second the manager said he was pressing charges she headed for the door. People like this must lead a very boring life.

It’s like using the religious card to hurt same-sex couples. They should be required to wear badges that say “anti-everyone but white republicans” can live here.

What a nut job.

Seriously…this right wingnut Karen puts other people’s health at risk and wastes a cop’s time because she can’t cover her filthy mouth with a mask for a few minutes while she shops? What a cowardly little snowflake. Wearing clothes causes me anxiety. I think I’ll go to the supermarket naked next time and call everyone Nazis when they ask me to exit the store.

Congratulations, Ruby, you got your 15 minutes of fame. Or should I say, you got your 15 minutes of being an “influencer,” since that apparently is what everyone wants to be in the Age of Narcissism.

This Karen put the health of everyone in that store in jeopardy.
And to the other lady with the shopping cart who flipped her off, Well said! 🙂
