A Trump-loving, QAnon-promoting, anti-Vaxx, and anti-mask shopkeeper in Nashville who boasted “one of the greatest selections in the world” finds brands unvaccinated against anti-Semitic yellow wearables “Stars pronounce released and ties to their business, which she calls HatWRKS, have been severed.
The Tennessee Holler first identified the anti-Semitic stars on Twitter. NCRM was the first publication to report on it.
The owner, identified by the New York Times as Gigi Gaskins, is now pounding Black Lives Matter as she tries to defend herself by claiming to have been fighting tyranny and authoritarianism for more than a year.
By Monday, several hat makers announced that they would no longer sell to HatWRKS, with some explaining their reasons.
These two tweets from Saturday came about nine hours apart, from the most famous name in hats:
Due to the objectionable content and opinions shared by HatWRKS in Nashville, Stetson and our distributors will cease selling all Stetson products. We thank you for your continued support and patience.
– John B. Stetson (@StetsonUSA) May 29, 2021
Gaskins, who uses her company’s Instagram page to target transgender people, the coronavirus vaccine, liberals, democrats, and the legitimate election of President Joe Biden, seems to believe the left is engaging in “totalitarianism,” as she claimed in a post on the weekend.
In her unique style, she writes: “For the past 15 months I have pushed back government abuses, resisted groupthink and tried to find reason in a sea of irrational.”
“It has 100% fought the totalitarian march and seizure of power that we are witnessing around the world,” she writes.
It appears to be targeting the nationwide protests against Black Lives Matter that broke out over the police killing of George Floyd and other police murders, mostly of unarmed black men.
“We watched this game for over a year … from the protests, the burnings, the looting, the taking of cities hostage, the desecration of monuments, the destruction” [sic] our police who watch people being murdered in the name of justice. “
She says she is “not alone in being a target of the mob,” but admits that she is “insensitive” to creating the yellow Jewish stars that say “unvaccinated.”
In an earlier post on Sunday she wrote: “I sincerely apologize for any insensitivity.”
Amongst Gaskins’ Instagram posts is the one where she appears to admit she was part of the January 6 riot:
In other posts she repeats the falsehoods found in QAnon.
In addition to Stetson, Dorfman Pacific, Goorin Bros., kangol_headwear, New York Hat & Cap Co. and others have announced that they will end their relationship with hatWRKS.
