White House press secretary and part-time Melissa McCarthy impersonator Sean Spicer’s trip to the Apple store this weekend was a complete disaster. And it had nothing to do with iPhones.
While purchasing what appears to be an Apple Watch Sport, Spicer got confronted by an Indian-American woman who asked him, “You know you work for a fascist, right?”
The entire confrontation got caught on video as Spicer tried to smile his way through the questions before telling the woman the United States is “such a great country that allows you to be here.”
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Shree Chauhan says she has no regrets about harassing President Donald Trump’s spokesman, even though her Twitter has blown up with hateful comments.
Chauhan, who was born in America and is of Indian descent, called Spicer’s comment racist. Others have claimed Spicer meant that America is a great country for allowing her to be in the Apple store expressing her dissent.
“He could’ve said, ‘Such a great country that allows dissent,'” Chauhan said. “There’s a lot of ways that could’ve been said. To have someone who speaks for the president of the United States tell me to my face that I shouldn’t be here and I was born here — that is a real thing.”
Apple did not respond to requests for comment. Some Americans have told Chauhan that it was disrespectful for her to confront Spicer while he was out shopping as a private citizen.
“Is it appropriate to ban Muslims from this country?” she replied.

Sounds like a CNN reporter
She’s a complete idiot. It’s sad when people like her fall hook, line and sinker for every lie that the Fake Stream Media would have her believe. Gullible!
You apparrently fall hook line and sinker for Trump’s lies, and you even use his words. Yuck.
She needs to do her homework before asking questions. Fascism = Bake that Cake or Buy Health Insurance or else…shes a complete idiot.
Lots of Putin trolls here reading Cult of Mac. Just say a negative thing about Trumpers and they just come out of the woodwork. Sad!
I am visit TECHNOLOGY page to read about TECHNOLOGY and not propaganda. And your “Putin” is a proof that you are completely idiot.
I agree with you Tomáš, he’s a puto fake army vet from the democratic underground.
Cult of mac, whoever you are, I have enough of your disgusting and stupid anti-Trump politics bullshit. Go to hell, and stay there. I am leaving, to not visit this page anymore, definitively.
Peace out!
The fact that someone is frustrated at your non-apple “news story” on a site called cult of mac is your first hint. I guarantee that Tomas was not alone in his frustration. For you as the author an “MOD” of this story to have this reaction is taking bullshit to another level. Continue alienating your users and good luck!
Buh Bye
what a moronic woman to harass the man while on his free time. In fact she is everything that is wrong with society today. when obama committed criminal offenses – no one did anything..
To answer her question : everyone is working with Russia – democrats and republicans – wake up, all parties are dealing with every nationality – Even Hilary who sold uranium to them and Bill who was paid $500k speak to russians in moscow lol
I read that Killary sold 70% of our plutonium to China, too. Where was the fake MMA when that happened?
good luck the angry democrats are hypocrites
So the Post and Cult of Mac take the bait.
The young woman is not promoting peaceful, productive dialogue.
In fact, she is creating and empowering her own worst enemy.
Like, oh my god…”have you helped with the Russia “STUFF”?” She sounds like a ditzy 10 year old that makes my ears bleed just listening five seconds into it
Keep it up. Radical nuts from the riot and loot party will just keep digging them deeper in a hole.
There must be a listserve to call out the Trumpsters in numbers, five or so say, to take over a discussion. Since real reporters are banned from Trump’s “news conferences” there aren’t so many chances to confront him or his people. Since she was caught by surprise I don’t think she did so bad.
If a person can not be safe in the warm embrace of an Apple Store, where can they be?
She is entitled to her opinion naturally, but to just jump into someone’s face is not trying to have a dialog, it’s trying to ambush them for a reaction so you can pretend to be offended. Or if there was actually any physical contact (of any kind, incidental or not), to call in a lawyer.
She did not handle herself well and certainly wasn’t articulate.
