A salon owner’s controversial TikTok video criticizing Trump supporters has resulted in significant client losses at her Idaho establishment. Tiffney Prickett, who runs Voiage Salon in Coeur d’Alene, sparked backlash after expressing strong views about Trump supporters in her viral social media post.
“Trump basically gave small men the ability and the courage to be misogynistic and hateful and say s**t like ‘your body, my choice’ and ‘you won’t have a choice’ and ‘you will bear my child whether you like it or not,'” Prickett said in the video, according to the Post.

The 40-year-old divorced mother of three voiced her frustration about men’s behavior and their perceived lack of support for women. “The comments are so gross.

I have a problem with you wanting to strip human rights away from people. I will stand up for human rights and suffer those consequences.”
