In the video, which has been shared widely online, Ploss approaches the crew as they’re working on a main thoroughfare in Nashua. She asks a man if one of the workers is speaking English, and the man replies that many of them speak English but he likes to speak Spanish.

“It is America, you should be speaking English,” Ploss says. “You should be speaking English. They work for the state, you should be speaking English.”

The man replies that he works for a company, before Ploss launches into a repetitive tirade.

“It’s English. Doesn’t matter,” Ploss says. “It’s still English. It’s English, English, English. Is anybody here illegal? Are these guys illegal? What’s the name of this company? ... This is a foreman working for this company, Morin’s, and he’s speaking Spanish to these guys. So your tax dollars up here in New Hampshire, that’s what’s going on here. That’s what’s going on here. That is what’s going on. ... This is communism, this is communism. Look at this. They’re taking over these streets. What they’re doing up here in Nahsua is permanent. Permanent.”

Eventually a Black man wearing a mask and eating lunch nearby approaches Ploss and asks her why she’s “harassing” the workers.

Ploss repeats that the workers should speak English, asks whether they’re “illegal aliens” and says, “I have a right.”

“To harass people?” the Black man replies.

When Ploss asks why he’s wearing a mask, the man says “there’s a global pandemic.”

Ploss says “Really? OK,” and adds sarcastically, “He’s a Black man, and he’s going to protect the brown man from this white woman who’s practicing white privilege.”

On Monday, Tom Morin of Morin’s Landscaping, the company that was doing the road work, thanked community members who reached out to offer words of support once the video surfaced.

“The numerous phone calls, social posts, emails, voice messages and overall kind words are extremely encouraging and heartfelt,” Morin wrote in a Facebook posting. “I believe that we can all take immense pride in how quickly the community rallied to demonstrate that this type of behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. As a result of everyone’s efforts, I am confident that significant progress was made towards solving what can so often appear to be an unsolvable problem.”

Morin went on to thank “our valued team members as well as the concerned citizen who handled this challenging situation with the utmost of class and professionalism. At Morin’s, we recognize that any success we are able to achieve is only through the collaborative efforts of the many extremely talented and hardworking individuals who are not only native to our area but also represent several countries and various cultures.”

She said critics “got a petition going” that resulted in her being kicked off the air at WSMN and that she’s also been threatened via text, voicemail, and e-mail.
