Connecticut diner under fire for racist Harriet Tubman tweets

On Wednesday, after the news that Harriet Tubman would replace Andrew Jackson on the $20, the apparent twitter account for Penny’s Diner in Norwalk, CT, tweeted the above racist statements. As the tweets spread, people expressed their outrage on Yelp and Twitter. But the diner says they’re innocent and has an explanation why.

*sigh*

READ THE ARTICLE. (Bolding is mine.)

“But a worker at the restaurant said that the account was fake, and that they do not have any Facebook or Twitter accounts. “It’s a hoax,” the worker, who declined to give his name in a phone interview, said Thursday morning. “It’s a repulsive statement that’s totally, totally untrue. Uncategorically, unequivocally, we deny we posted anything like that.”The restaurant official said that they’d filed a police report Thursday morning and that Norwalk police were investigating the incident. The Norwalk Police Department Detective Bureau is investigating a complaint made by the owners of Penny’s Diner into fraudulent posts made to social media,” Lieutenant Terrance Blake, public information officer for the Norwalk Police Department, wrote in an email to Mic. “Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation I cannot disclose any additional information.““

So, way to ruin a restaurant’s reputation and possibly put innocent people out of work and out of business.
