But when she tried to name her bear after Charlie Kirk, co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, who was brutally assassinated in September, an employee at the register rejected her request outright.
"Yeah, nothing quite says "brave corporate conviction" (AKA "visceral hatred and disgusting behavior") like an irate employee screaming at a teenage girl that her teddy bear's birth certificate cannot be tolerated — by the "tolerant" left, that is.
