Britt was caught telling the employee "That's why I have a degree and you don't", "I wouldn't work at a scumbag place like this. Makes my skin crawl even being here", and "maybe if I was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh?" ^[1] Whodatmd (talk) 03:00, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request to add the following to the tow lot incident:

Advanced Towing Co. released the following statement:

To Whom It May Concern:
Parking enforcement is contentious by nature. At the same time, neither Gina, our lot clerk, nor our company, have any interest in seeing Britt McHenry suspended or terminated as a result of her comments.
Ms. McHenry is our neighbor, and, as she said, to paraphrase, made remarks that were out of line. She is human and errors in judgement can be made in the heat of the moment.
Gina is a single mother of 3 children who works a difficult job to provide her family. Gina holds no ill will toward Ms. McHenry.
As a small regulated business, we saw no benefit to releasing the video, except to highlight personal attacks employees in jobs like towing, public parking enforcement and others sometimes encounter. The video was not licensed or sold to anyone.
Advanced Towing Co.

It's very tiresome when someone pulls out the RS card with little support as to WHY the source is not reliable. I guess I don't understand how the Washington Post, which has won 47 Pulitzer Prizes and is right across the river from Arlington, VA, is not a reliable source. "Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." I really think it should be up to you to prove that the WaPo is not a reliable source, because if they are not a reliable source, then there are NO reliable sources at all.

In any regard, here are additional links from other sources: LA Times, which gives a balanced overview and in the last five paragraphs discusses Advanced Towing's letter. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-tow-company-britt-mchenry-profane-rant-20150417-story.html The Washingtonian, which provided an overview of Advanced Towing's business activities and has been in business for four decades. http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/capitalcomment/media/arlington-towing-company-in-britt-mchenry-video-has-a-long-history-of-complaints.php

Since the page is now unprotected, I will move forward with the above change with all three sources referenced. Thank you very little. 2601:2:4E00:C662:E04D:1C72:3B4B:9FA5 (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Political views

In a tweet on 26 June 2017, McHenry stated that she held conservative views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.224.32.138 (talk) 11:07, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Single-purpose account removal

A single-purpose account (probably Britt herself) keeps removing text that she bought Twitter followers, which is sourced to the NYT. Does the single-purpose account want to explain why? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 10:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is your deal Snoogans? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andersongrip (talk • contribs) 02:10, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe do a rewrite. Citation says the followers might have been bought by others. How notable is this also? --Malerooster (talk) 00:47, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
