NextImg:Pennsylvania woman charged with hate crimes over viral anti-immigrant rant at pizza shop

A White woman was charged Friday with hate crimes in Pennsylvania for directing an anti-immigrant rant at a Hispanic pizza shop owner that has since gone viral.      

A joint release from Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Hatboro Police Chief James E. Gardner said that 55-year-old Rita Bellew, of Hatboro, was charged with ethnic intimidation and harassment for the incident at Amy’s Family Pizzeria on Feb. 23.  

That day, Ms. Bellew is accused of launching into “a profane, racially fueled tirade,” according to the release. 

“Bellew was apparently triggered, at least in part, by a Spanish broadcast being shown on television in the restaurant,” authorities said.
