All they told her was that she could not be in a certain part of the building at the concert. It became a call for race war. The videos that come with this article might be too sensitive for social media, but we have them here.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – It was to be the final performance for the Wanamaker Organ, a 110-year staple of the former flagship store of Wanamaker’s Department Stores in Center City, which closed in 1996 after 133 years and was taken over by Macy’s. On March 22, a free concert was held as that Macy’s was now closing after 19 years.

Unbeknownst to most attendees however, there was an incident that saw store workers berated with racial slurs by a woman with a history of associations with white supremacist circles and groups, along with a criminal record which includes threatening a game warden. She stated in a video that she was a white supremacist, said she had a gun, and threatened violence if those who aren’t white do not leave the country.

“So, as of today, I am free. I am a white nationalist. I am a white nationalist. I do not like anyone who isn’t white,” 31 year-old Augusta Mae DiRosato from Marcus Hook posted in a video to Twitter on Saturday, the day of the concert. “And that is the fault of people who do not know how to treat me with respect for the past four fucking years of my life. Calling me a Nazi, calling me all these fucking mean names because I wear an American flag, the flag of my country.”

She began a tirade about the store employees, referring to them with the N-Word and saying they had had her thrown out of the store during the concert. “And these n—— start shit with me purposely to get me kicked out and it worked,” she said. “So you know what I did? I walked up to each of their faces and I said, ‘N—–!’ You think they did anything? Of course not, because n—– never do anything when we call them a n—– their face and if they do, they lose the fight if their thirty fucking friends aren’t there to jump us. So I have a gun, so I can shoot you fucking n—— if you try that shit.”

DiRosato later posted a video of the incident on her YouTube channel and it shows her being approached by the store who told her she is not allowed in the part of the store she was in to watch the concert. She is heard saying, “This doesn’t belong to you. This doesn’t belong to you so go the freemasons and leave me alone,” possibly referring to the connections Wanamaker’s had to the freemasons, as founder John Wanamaker (who installed the organ in 1909), was a member of Friendship Lodge No. 400. She then said that she is being harassed because she is white and a patriot, threatened to call the police on the workers and then the video devolved into her calling them the N-Word before she walked down an escalator with the workers following her as she walked out the store. That prompted her to continue berating them with racial slurs. It isn’t clear if she was asked to leave or if she left of her own accord.

DiRosato has regularly retweeted Proud Boys and other fascist accounts on her page and prominent Proud Boys such as Enrique Tarrio and Zach Rehl follow her as she has supported those who were arrested for their roles in storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Ironicaly, she currently is in a war of words with neo-fascist Patriot Front because they will not accept women among their ranks.

Over the summer she created two videos; in one she does a Nazi salute, while in another she berates two Black men in a car, hurling racial slurs as she walks away. She supported the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., but after he ended that run she then began to support Trump. “I really want him to talk about how he is going to protect people’s pets from being eaten by Haitian illegal immigrants,” she said during a rally at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, before the debate there between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, repeating a debunked right-wing talking point that at the time.

In 2017 she was arrested for terroristic threats to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The threats consisted of five calls placed to the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s northeast regional office located in Dallas, PA. In one of them she said, “Ignorant, egotistical humans think it’s OK to hunt animals,” before threatening to, “blow it [the building] the (expletive) up with everyone inside.” Court records indicate she pled guilty to one count of disorderly conduct, obscene language and two counts of harassment. Because of this conviction, she is not allowed to own a firearm in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

DiRosato has blocked antifascist accounts on Twitter, but a recent change allows anyone to view content even if they are blocked. Due to that change, those monitoring her account were aware of the March 22 videos. She has since deleted the videos from her accounts.

Macy’s corporate offices did not respond to requests for comment.
