Trumphumping radio host fired after haranguing landscapers she overheard speaking Spanish and apparently plotting communism: The Independent•July 17, 2020 Former conservative talk radio host Dianna Ploss yells into her camera after harassing a group of Spanish-speaking workers for not speaking English: FacebookA conservative radio show host lost her job after she filmed herself telling landscapers to speak English. Dianna Ploss, a supporter of Donald Trump and conservative talk radio host in New Hampshire, filmed herself berating a man for speaking Spanish while he was working. Ms Ploss was on the way to her radio station when she overheard a landscaper speaking Spanish. She began filming herself and started harassing the workers. "It's America. You should be speaking English," Ms Ploss said. "Is anybody here illegal? Are these guys illegal?" She continued to berate the workers, and claimed the local government was engaged in "communism". "Your tax dollars up here in New Hampshire, that's what's going on here," Ms Ploss said. "So now they have people who don't speak English who are putting in this stuff that taxpayers are paying for and look what they're doing. This is communism." At one point during the video, a man stops to ask Ms Ploss why she's harassing the workers. Ms Ploss calls him a " social justice warrior" for wearing a face mask and directs her response towards her viewers. "He's a black man, and he's going to protect the brown man from this white woman who's practising white privilege because she happened to walk by and heard this guy talking to all of these guys doing this work in Spanish," she said. The broadcasting company Ms Ploss worked for issued a statement on Sunday announcing she was no longer associated with the company. yahoo.com About a minute into the video, a bystander intervened and chided Ploss. “You’re yelling at them while they’re trying to do their jobs,” he said. “I can hear you from across the street. I’m trying to enjoy my lunch.” Ploss dismissed the man as a “social justice warrior” and criticized him for wearing a face mask amid the COVID-19 crisis.
