Janet Sabriu was driving to her polling station in Houston last week when an angry, middle-aged gay Trump supporter pulled alongside her at a traffic light and began spewing racist, misogynistic slurs.
“You’re driving in two lanes, you stupid b*tch!” the man screamed. “That’s not how we drive in America. Trump’s deporting your stupid cousins today, b*tch!”
Somehow, Sabriu, an American citizen, remained calm and asked the man if he had voted yet.
“B*tch – learn English, b*tch,” the man continued. “It’s my country, b*tch, get out!”
“You’re ugly, you need a gay friend to help you with makeup and clothes,” he continued as Sabriu’s young daughter sat in the backseat listening to his tirade. “Ugly b*tch – ugly tacky stinky skanky b*tch!”
Throughout the incident the racist laughed with a cackle that you would expect to hear coming from the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.

This being 2018, the hideous man (dubbed the “toothless racist” on Twitter) was quickly identified by social media users as Charles Geier, a 58-year-old gay man who is fond of taking the bathroom selfie.
Sabriu told local news station KHOU that she has filed a police report against Geier.
“We have to stop all of this hate,” Sabriu told the station. “Speak up. Don’t be afraid. That’s the only way that we can stop all this hate is just showing and exposing the people because I think the majority [are] good people that don’t want this to continue.”
According to a new study released by Pew Research Center last week, nearly four-in-ten Latinos have experienced harassing incidents since the Trump administration launched a tougher stance on immigration enforcement.
On Saturday, Geier spoke to local ABC News affiliate KTRK using the name “Kevin” saying he’s ‘received death threats.’
Geier apologized saying, “All I want to say to her is ‘Miss, I’m so sorry, I hope you can understand more and I wish you nothing more than love and happiness for your family.”
Geier told KTRK that he takes full responsibility, "I reacted in a poor manner, I said things that were offensive that I shouldn't have said, but what I want people to know is that I suffer from bi-polar disorder. It's very real, it's not a joke, it's not an excuse."
And speaking of excuses, Twitter had no patience for Geier and his hate.
First off #CharlesGeier, would think a gay man. might have more tolerance towards others in a minority. I'm sure you have had your share of name calling, and I'm sorry you are bitter, but passing that bitterness on is unexcuseable. Second, try using a signal to cut across lanes

Charles Geier was driving around & saw a woman who did not look just like him & decided it would be good to scream at her & her toddler daughter to get out of "his" country. I don't know about others, but I would sure rather *he* left.#BathroomSelfieGuy— kimwagner (@kimwagner) October 27, 2018
The major irony here is about 99% of his fb friends are seemingly gay latino men… get off the racist meth tirade train Charles Geier – you've been outed for the sad little man you are #texas #twitter #draghimforfilth #recieptshavebeenposted #StopTheHate https://t.co/y1dqKgU3Gp

I am sorry but I have heard
I am sorry but I have heard more racist jokes in gay bars then in st8 bars. Our community as a whole is discriminatory.
Bipolar does not make you
Bipolar does not make you racist. Try again bitch. Us gay people don’t want you part of our community if this is the kind of behavior you displace especially in public.
Not to excuse bad behavior
Not to excuse bad behavior but Bipolar Disorder does many things. I have personally seen a woman punch a hole through a wall and then try to make another one with her young son. Her hands around his neck while she kept pounding him into the wall. She loved her son dearly. She was a completely different person while having an episode. If you haven't had any real experiences with it, it's pretty hard to comprehend the changes in personality that can occur. Hard to understand or predict where it takes the mind in those moments. That's all.
We need to revoke that troll
We need to revoke that troll's gay card and dump his skank ass on some island.
