Tennessee woman says her husband went to work with anti-Trump signs on his car for months. Then he was fired: ‘Fight back against injustice’

A Tennessee woman says her husband drove to work for months with anti-Trump signs on his car without any problem, only to be fired two weeks after he requested an ADA accommodation and then served with a restraining order. WalkerTocker, who posts under that name on TikTok, shared the story across a series of videos after months of court proceedings.

In her first TikTok video, she said she had been waiting to talk about it because of the ongoing case. She framed the situation as one where people can win if they refuse to back down, stating that if you “fight back against injustice, you can win.”

WalkerTocker explained in that same video that she has written anti-Trump messages on her car in Tennessee for a long time. She said her husband started doing the same thing to show support for her and for the country he loves. According to her, he drove those signs to work for months.

Court papers cite vehicle signs after July firing

She claimed his boss even rode in the car with the signs on it and that co-workers discussed them in team meetings. She stated that there was never an issue during that period.

In her Part 2 TikTok video, WalkerTocker played a recording of the July phone call from Apex Bank. She identified the caller as HR manager Janet Simpson. In the call, Simpson stated, “You are no longer employed by Apex Bank effective immediately.”

When her husband asked for the reason, Simpson replied that it was “a business decision” and repeated that the termination was effective immediately. WalkerTocker claimed the call came two weeks after her husband filed an ADA accommodation request.

She said that when he went to collect his belongings, he was given paperwork for a lawsuit seeking a restraining order. The bank allegedly claimed he committed “violence in the workplace by writing an anti-Trump sign on his car.”

In the shared recording from the second video, her husband asked, “Why were you taking pictures of my car today, Janet?” He then told Simpson to “be prepared to hear from my attorney” before ending the call.

WalkerTocker stated that she and her husband have dealt with the court case since July. She said the bank has involved her as well, even though she never worked there, and claimed the bank is concerned about her social media following.

In her third TikTok video, she showed a court document listing Apex Bank as the plaintiff and her husband as the defendant. The filing claimed that on numerous occasions he “has become verbally abusive, had angry outbursts, and exhibited aggressive behavior.” She called that claim an outright lie.

The document allegedly stated that on July 13, 2026, he parked his vehicle on company premises with images of three tombstones named Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and Donald Trump, along with a note that said, “It happens in threes.” WalkerTocker said the message was “just a joke” and “wasn’t a threat.” Anti-Trump vehicle displays have drawn police attention elsewhere too, as with an Oregon biker’s anti-Trump motorcycle decals.

She also read a claim about the phrase “magamen swallow.” She described it as another joke and said, “Okay, they do swallow. We all swallow.” Another allegation in the papers claimed her husband “has bragged about the police coming to his home to confront him about his behavior towards others.” She said there was not even a police report and that the police had actually come because she yelled at a neighbor.

The filing further stated that “the defendant’s wife… is a known antagonist on social media.” It claimed the bank had “thoroughly monitored and investigated” him and that he “poses a credible threat of violence.” The bank sought a temporary restraining order to keep him off the property and away from employees and customers.

WalkerTocker said the story continues and promised more details in later videos. She stated she spent $4,500 “to get my voice back” and added, “and I’m gonna f–king use it.”

Several viewers responded to her posts. One commenter focused on free speech and wrote, “First of all, that’s freedom of speech. I can’t wait to see how this turned out.” Public anti-Trump displays have also sparked heated online debate before, as with a Texas homeowner’s anti-Trump signs.

Another suggested taking legal action and said, “File lawsuits and get some money.” A third commenter hoped for a strong outcome against the bank and wrote, “I hope you end up owning that bank! Take them for literally everything you lawfully can!”

One viewer described the employer’s actions as unfair and stated, “They sound like horrible people. He is going to be much better off away from there. Sucks to be treated that way.” Another shared their own workplace experience and said, “I am so grateful I work at a company that respects freedom of speech. I’ve had multiple complaints placed about my vehicle. So far they have all been told ‘it’s a personal car. We don’t control personal freedoms.’”
