  • Texas massage therapist Dasha Kilpatrick was fired after a viral confrontation with Muslim shoppers.
  • CAIR-Texas condemned the incident and cited rising anti-Muslim rhetoric.
  • The fundraiser drew backing from far-right and white nationalist figures.

A viral confrontation inside a Texas grocery store has sparked intense national polarization, culminating in the firing of a local healthcare worker and a subsequent wave of financial backing from far-right online networks that raised more than $100,000 in under 24 hours.

The incident unfolded on June 20 at a supermarket in the Conroe area, where Dasha Kilpatrick, a licensed massage student permit holder, was recorded launching a fierce verbal tirade against two Muslim women.

In the one-minute video captured by one of the shoppers, Kilpatrick is seen aggressively demanding that the two women leave the country, stating, "You're not welcome here. This is not a Muslim country. This is a Christian country," before telling them to "get the f**k out of here."

When the shopper challenged Kilpatrick -pointing out her medical scrubs and asking why she worked in healthcare while harboring such views- Kilpatrick launched into a series of highly inflammatory insults targeting the Islamic faith, branding Islam a "terrorist organization."

The shopper countered by asserting her American citizenship, telling Kilpatrick, "We have citizenship here, you need to leave."

Following the public uproar, Kilpatrick’s employer, Massage Forest in Conroe, swiftly announced her termination via Facebook, indicating this was part of a broader pattern of behavior.

"Unfortunately the incident involving this employee was not the first but it was the final one," the company statement read. "Given the history involved we stand by our decision to part ways with our former employee."

Far-right crowdfunding surge

While the video drew immense public condemnation, it simultaneously transformed Kilpatrick into a cause célèbre within right-wing and white nationalist digital spaces.

Tom Hennessey, a self-described "White independent journalist" with a substantial online following, launched a crowdfunding campaign on the platform GiveSendGo to offset her lost income.

The fundraiser argued that Kilpatrick was "fully doxxed, fired, and canceled for daring to speak truth in her own country." Financial support poured in rapidly, heavily bolstered by large-scale, ideologically driven contributions.

Among the highest single donations was a $1,000 transaction from an account openly using the white nationalist username "Thefourteenwords."

Other anonymous donors matching the $1,000 mark left messages praising Kilpatrick for "standing up to the Islamification of Texas."

CAIR responds

The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) responded swiftly to the grocery store assault, urging state officials to break their silence on rising regional intolerance.

"This is exactly what happens when elected officials in Texas use hateful rhetoric to foment anti-Muslim bigotry," said Imran Ghani, director of CAIR-Texas Houston.

"Muslims are facing daily verbal and physical attacks, and now it is time for every elected leader to speak clearly and unequivocally against that hatred."

The physical altercation mirrors a well-documented surge in digital hostility.

A 2025 study published by civil rights group Equality Labs noted that over 4.7 million Islamophobic social media posts targeted American Muslims over a 12-month period.

Crucially, researchers found that the vast majority of those localized hate campaigns originated from Texas-linked accounts.

"The 'Muslim invasion' narrative has become a central organizing frame for millions of posts designed to provoke fear, dehumanize Muslims, and incite hostility," warned Thenmozhi Soundararajan, Executive Director of Equality Labs, pointing to the growing friction over changing demographics in North Texas.
