(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Tammy Giuliani, owner of Ottawa’s Stella Luna Gelato Café, spoke out about the harassment she’s received since supporting the Freedom Convoy.
Giuliani, who’s $250 donation to the Freedom Convoy was discovered after the GiveSendGo leak, has received threats of violence and doxxing since the news came to light.
“You need to understand that Stella Luna is our livelihood,” Giuliani said during an interview on Fox. “My husband and our children and son-in-law all work for the business.”
“It’s how we pay our rent, it’s how we keep our lights on, it’s how we eat… attacking our children and attacking our team—its unconscionable.”
As Giuliani elaborated on the threats to her family, employees, and business, she started to tear up.
“Never in my 56 years have I ever experienced a country so divided, so full of hatred towards friends and neighbors,” she said.
“They might have opinions that differ from theirs, but they’re so willing to publicly shame and humiliate and spew forth angry vitriol.”
Giuliani went on to explain that after the hacked document was published, she and her family were called terrorists and nazis; inundated with hatred and threats of violence against themselves, their employees and their storefront; and had someone drape a large sheet over the sign at one of their locations, which read “Tammy supports terrorists.”
They are pursuing legal action against the people who vandalized their shop.
After the first few days, words of encouragement started flooding in from others who have lost their jobs due to lack of vaccination.
Their favorite words of support so far have been “pistachios before politics.”
Giuliani closed the interview by entreating the audience to consider the impact of their words before either typing or opening their mouth.
“If [people] could just listen to their heart and find their humanity, the world would be better served.”
