A Montana business owner is facing a boycott over comments made on Facebook that were both sexist and racist.

The whole thing began on Friday when Josh Schleining, a Billings resident, posted about Donald Trump’s election and being the subject of racist attacks. In particular, he pointed to Larry Heafner as an example.

Using screenshots from a friend, Schleining showed that Heafner had said in response to a white man being beaten by black men. “These f—— monkeys would be hanging if I saw this s—!” Heafner said, later adding, “You don’t see white people doing this s—!”

Heafner then complained about being “under attack” by Schleining, saying, “I wish this little punk mother f—– would come run his mouth to my face! But I’m sure that won’t happen because I would kick his p—- f—— ass!”

Schleining’s friends then took to Heafner’s Facebook page to document racist and sexist posts.

“If Trump wins the election, it’ll be the first time in history that a billionaire moves into public housing vacated by a black family,” Heafner wrote at one point.

Of Hillary Clinton, Heafner also wrote, “She needs f—– with a bat! Right up her liberal f—— ass!” and “The Coffee Tavern will never recognize a murdering whore for president!! Don’t like it, keep the f— out!! We don’t tolerate scum!!!”

That last post, Heafner later admitted, “was my stupidest comment.”

“I completely apologize,” Heafner said. “It was the dumbest thing I ever did. … I’m not going to sit and try to excuse my derogatory or negative comments, because it was ridiculous. I do want to say, I’m not racist by no means, and I’m not a woman hater.”
