Daughter Outs Mom At Trump Rally And Gets Her Fired

The nurse from Massachusetts who went viral after her teenage daughter publicly shamed her when she was spotted in a video getting punched in the face at a violent pro-Trump rally has now lost her job of 15 years and she fears she will never be able to get another job again.

According to Therese Duke, she was just “looking for a place to eat” in Washington, DC, with other “like-minded” Trump supporters when they were attacked by counter-protesters near the White House.

The incident, which took place the night before the rioters stormed the Capitol, was caught on a video showing Duke getting punched in the face and her sister getting arrested for retaliating against the attacker.

Duke pleaded her case to the Herald saying, “I did nothing wrong. I was the one who was assaulted.”

But it wasn’t until the woman’s 18-year-old daughter, Helena, called her mother out on Twitter for being the woman getting punched in a video that has been seen over 12 million times.

Duke says she has been receiving threats and her previous employer UMass Memorial Health Care confirmed that she is “no longer a part of our organization.”

The nurse said she felt “forced” to quit her job of 15 years, but a source said she admitted in an online fundraiser that she had actually been “relieved from my employment pending an investigation.”

Duke is now worried that her notoriety will destroy any chances she has of finding new work.

“Anybody can Google me. Nobody will hire me,” she told the Herald.

Duke claims she traveled to DC to “support Donald Trump and prevent communism and socialism” as a “last-ditch effort to show support because we know the vote was stolen.”

She said no one in her group “wanted violence” or had any involvement in the next day’s riots or storming of the Capitol.

Her daughter admits to feeling “some guilt” after what happened to her mother when she exposed her but also believes that she “should be held accountable for her actions.”
