A Walmart manager in Upstate New York has been fired after being accused of posting an anti-Muslim rant on his Facebook page, reports the Buffalo News.
The posting showed two Muslim women with the caption ““Halloween came early this year … do they really have to … dress like that … your in my country … get that … off!!!!!.”
The picture and caption were brought to the attention of the retail giant by the Council on American Islamic Relations or CAIR.
“As soon as we became aware, we began looking into this and as a result, this associate is no longer with the company,” said Kayla Whaling. “We set high expectations for our associates, and this associate clearly failed to meet these expectations at every level.”
The employee has apologized for the matter and said it started out as a joke.
