A vegan cafe owner in Milwaukee who recently spoke beside former President Trump at a Waukesha rally told Fox News that her remarks were a plea to the person she voted for in 2020 — President Biden — to understand the plight of struggling business owners like herself.
Shana Gray said that since her appearance, it has been an "eventful" time, which host Laura Ingraham reported included messages of hate and at least one case of a person with differing political beliefs "storm[ing]" her cafe.
"I just pretty much put a plea out there to the administration of which I voted for to let them know that I am a struggling business owner," Gray said Friday.
"I'm just looking for a change to pretty much help me and people of my community. Understand, my cafe was created to be a community space to provide not just good vegan food, but a space for people to come — a very safe space for people to come and have conversations of things and topics that are affecting them."
Gray said customers at Gray Jett, which is on Marquette University's campus, have discussed the way they are feeling inflation, and how they "don't know about tomorrow" in the realm of making spending decisions on gas, groceries and necessities.
She said the Trump rally allowed her a platform to spread those messages from her customers herself, adding that the commonality of feeling squeezed by the economic malaise transcends race and ethnicity.

I’m willing to attribute good faith to her: her political loyalty has been tied to people who are intolerant and violent. To save her business she’s backtracked as far as she can.
Of course as others have pointed out, her target market is extremely small. Not much room for error between eking it out and failing completely
I wonder if anyone can tell her that there are OVER 600,000 registered HUNTERS in Wisconsin & that they are NOT SHOOTING CELERY & POTATOES?
I will bet she still votes for Biden.
Although you are undoubtedly right…..
…it’s refreshing, encouraging to have folks speak out in support of Trump and stand by their convictions!
Those are the ones we want to support.
This little miss will find out if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one….
….The Biden crowd nor the MAGA folks will trust her, imo
A plea to what? To not be what you knew they were when you voted for them? You got what you voted for, you dumb xxxx!
Not so much “where” but “how”. You need to be able to ‘read’ the area/location. Been to a few places in Detroit, no issues. Any metro area has its op3n/insular parts of the city; just learn to see which is which.
