Palestinian immigrant owner of Minneapolis grocery chain slams cancel culture after he lost $5M in contracts and laid off 69 staff when BLM targeted him for his daughter's racist teenage tweets

The immigrant owner of a grocery chain in Minneapolis has spoken out against cancel culture after his business was attacked last summer over racist tweets his daughter made as a teenager.

Majdi Wadi, the founder and CEO of Holy Land brands, had to lay off 69 longtime employees last summer after furious social media backlash over his daughter Lianne's tweets from 2012, he revealed on Bari Weiss' new podcast.

Weiss, the former New York Times op-ed editor who quit the paper last year citing woke bullying, dubbed the incident a prime example of 'America's cultural revolution' on the first episode of her podcast series Honestly.
