.@tarastrong apparently deleted that public video she shared of her and @RenaSofer being racist towards an ethnic man providing them car service for Uber. I’m glad I saved it just in case that poor man they victimized needs it for any reason.
Why did you delete that clip, @tarastrong? I thought it was evidence that an Uber driver had threatened your life?

🤔
In the now deleted tweet, @tarastrong alleged an Uber driver
—“almost killed @RenaSofer & I”
—“proceeded to scream & yell”
—“began driving erratically”

The truth is
—the driver was offended by racist, bigoted comments
—Tara & Rena attacked & threatened the driver for being upset
That Uber driver
—was cooperative & never went against the requests of the passengers, even after they were racist
—was constantly yelled over & interrupted. He raised his voice, but was never hostile
—tried to let the passengers out ASAP, but was commanded to go to a gas-station
Uber suspends driver accused of 'abuse' by actresses Tara Strong and Rena Sofer yahoo.com/lifestyle/uber…
.@Uber/@Uber_Support has made a terrible decision in suspending their immigrant employee who was attacked with racism, bigotry, and threats by 2 passengers that obviously antagonized the situation. Appalled Uber would let them harass & exploit an immigrant, then punish him for it
What @tarastrong and @RenaSofer did to that Uber driver is exactly why racial disparity remains a centralized focus within America. When two white women can get an immigrant suspended from his job with sensationalized, ultimately unsubstantiated claims— racism in America thrives.
Do better, @dkhos.
UPDATE: More footage of @tarastrong & @RenaSofer antagonizing an immigrant has surfaced. In this clip preceding the now-deleted one Strong originally shared, her & Sofer
—press the driver to prove citizenship
—tell him “you’re not here to change our mind, you’re here to drive us”
.@tarastrong & @RenaSofer accused an immigrant Uber driver of “abuse,” citing he interjected himself into their conversation & attacked them, almost killing them with erratic driving.

If that’s true, why aren’t any of those accusations substantiated in the newly unearthed clip?
It’s pretty obvious what happened. @tarastrong and @RenaSofer ordered an Uber. They conversed about politics during their ride and likely encouraged their driver’s participation. When they didn’t like his opinion, they attacked him, made false accusations, and threatened his job.
That driver was right to call @tarastrong & @RenaSofer racists. They invited him into their conversation, reduced him to being there “to drive us,” rudely asked him for his papers, & established superiority over him because he wasn’t “born here.” If @Uber fired him over this...😡
George Takei’s father is a Japanese immigrant. Him and his family were at one point placed in an internment camp during World War II. Now he defends racist actresses getting an immigrant Uber driver suspended from his job over their anti-Trump bigotry. Sad
The original video of Tara Strong and Rena Sofer (antagonizing and threatening an immigrant Uber driver) that they don’t want you to see, for context:
