Conroe, Texas – A 25-year-old Texas massage therapist who went viral for confronting two Muslim women inside an H-E-B grocery store and declaring Islam a “terrorist organization” has been fired from her job, but a wave of public support has poured in, with a fundraiser surging past $207,000.Dasha Kilpatrick, a medical massage therapist and holistic practitioner from Conroe, was captured on video June 20 confronting the women in the store aisle. In the clip, she tells them they are not welcome in America, states that the U.S. is a “Christian country,” and criticizes Islam in strong terms.
“You need to leave. You’re not welcome here… This is not a Muslim country. This is a Christian country,” Kilpatrick says in the video. She continues: “What matters is that you worship a terrorist who is a warlord, a pedophile, and Islam is a terrorist organization. Not a religion. I’m very educated on this subject.”The footage quickly spread across social media, leading to her identification and termination from Massage Forest in Conroe.
“Cancel culture mob” strikes again!
Kilpatrick’s employer confirmed the firing after the video surfaced. Supporters argue she is the latest victim of cancel culture for simply speaking her mind in a public place about issues many Americans are increasingly concerned about, including mass immigration, cultural compatibility, and the influence of certain ideologies.
While critics have labeled the remarks “Islamophobic” and hateful, thousands of Americans see Kilpatrick as a brave woman who said what many are thinking but are afraid to say out loud.
A GiveSendGo campaign titled “Stand with brave Texas healthcare worker” has raised $207,472 toward a $250,000 goal as of Wednesday, backed by more than 5,400 donations.
The campaign describes Kilpatrick as standing her ground “unapologetically” after being “fully doxxed, fired, and canceled.” Supporters say she did nothing wrong by expressing her views and is now facing threats and lost income for daring to speak out.
The original social media post updating supporters noted that the funds have been verified and will go directly to Kilpatrick. “Thank you to everyone who has contributed,” the update read, asking “HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED YET?”
The incident has become another flashpoint in America’s culture war. Supporters argue that Kilpatrick exercised her First Amendment rights and is now being punished for it. They point to the massive grassroots response as proof that everyday Americans are fed up with political correctness and the idea that certain religions or cultures are off-limits for criticism.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has publicly stated she stands with Kilpatrick.“This is what happens when you speak the truth in today’s America,” one supporter wrote online. “She gets fired, doxxed, and threatened, but the American people are showing up with their wallets.”
The company has not issued a detailed public statement beyond confirming the termination, while some reports indicate the video was the final incident in her employment there.
Regardless of the employer’s reasoning, the explosive growth of the fundraiser sends a powerful signal. Americans from across the country are donating to show solidarity with a woman who refused to stay silent.
As the donations continue to climb rapidly, the story of Dasha Kilpatrick serves as a stark reminder of the divide in this country, and the growing pushback against efforts to silence open discussion about immigration, national identity, and radical ideologies.
Kilpatrick may have lost her job, but she has gained something else: the vocal and financial support of thousands who believe she spoke uncomfortable truths that needed to be said.
