Woman who told people to confront old man wearing MEGA hat is missing

A woman who sparked a national uproar after berating a 74-year-old man wearing a “Make America Great Again" cap at a San Francisco-area coffee shop earlier this month was reported missing Friday, authorities said.

Rebecca Parker Mankey, 46, didn’t return to her Palo Alto home after a trip to Lake County, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said. She is believed to be in Aberdeen, Wash., based on cell phone activity that placed her there. Investigators believe Mankey was hiding out amid the negative attention received from the coffee shop incident.

“We have nothing that makes us think she’s at-risk,” Sgt. Aaron Clark of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office told the San Jose Mercury News in a phone interview late Friday night. “We’ve determined from the people we’ve talked to that she is voluntarily missing.”

Mankey received national attention earlier this month after she yelled and berated a man wearing a MAGA hat inside a Starbucks in Palo Alto.

"He will never forget me and will think seriously about wearing that hat in my town ever again," she wrote in a Facebook post after the incident, according to the paper. "If you see him in this hat, please confront him. You do not want to be the person who didn't speak up as we slipped into fascism."
The man, who was identified as Victor, told local media outlets that Mankey called him a racist and other names.

“This woman came over and not only started screaming at me, she turned to the Starbucks audience and said, ‘Hey, everybody come here! This guy's a racist! This guy hates brown people!’” he said.


Mankey's social media post sparked a firestorm and she ended up losing her job at Gryphon Stringed Instruments, a company that sells, rents and repairs used and vintage musical instruments. She also received numerous threats online and stepped down from her role as co-chair of the Bayshore Progressive Democrats.

“Parker felt strongly that she wanted to use her privilege as a white woman to stand up for those who are living in fear because of the hateful atmosphere fostered by Trump,” the club wrote on its Facebook page.

Editor Note:

I also feel strongly that I want to use my privilege as a white man to stand up for those who are living in fear because of nut cases like Ms mankey who go around confronting people who wear MEGA hats just because they are wearing a MEGA hat.

MEGA hat means: Make America Great Again

President Trump is and will continue to Make America Great in 2020.

Wearing a MEGA hat does not mean you are a racist or hate brown people.

It just means you support President Trump.

The FAKE news media and liberal democrats portray Prresident Trump as a racist when in fact liberal democrats are racist and race baters as is MS manley.

Let this be a lesson to others who want to confront people wearing MEGA hats and start screaming lies about why they are wearing their hat.

Wear your MEGA hat with pride to support President Trump.
