WATCH: Woman Grills Sean Spicer In Georgetown Apple Store

GEORGETOWN, DC — A DC woman ran into White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer in the Apple Store in Georgetown Saturday, and didn't hold anything back when asking him questions about his current position, while filming the confrontation on the social media platform Periscope.

Shree Chauhan, 33, posted the video to Twitter with the caption, "Asking @PressSec questions in Apple Store since he doesn't like the press."

In the video you can hear Chauhan ask Spicer, "How do you feel about destroying our county, Sean? Do you feel good about lying to the American people?"

"How do you feel to work for a fascist?," she asks. "Have you helped with the Russia stuff, are you a criminal as well?"

Spicer repeatedly thanks Chauhan — an American citizen born here to immigrant parents — and appears to say: "Such a great country that allows you to be here."

“When I played it back and I realized it, I felt fear,” Chauhan said to TIME regarding Spicer's reply. “Think about his level of power and his proximity to the President of the United States. To say that to my face with a smile, it’s really something to behold.”

“There are people that think I was rude, I was impolite, and I understand that," Chauhan told TIME. "He was just going about his regular business, and I get that. But it’s interesting to me that someone could go upon their regular business while supporting the tyranny of this administration."

Chauhan was born in the United States to immigrant parents of Indian descent and works for a nonprofit organization. She told TIME that since the video has gone viral, she's received hateful comments and even death threats on social media.

But, she doesn't regret it, she told TIME.

“I’m not sorry," Chauhan said. "What I did is like a blip compared to what this Administration is doing and what Mr. Spicer is complicit in doing, which is undermining this country’s Constitution and our democratic values."

Chauhan wrote an article for Medium sharing her take on the situation.

"As someone that has lived in Washington, D.C. for nearly a decade, it is customary to give public figures their space. I’ve left Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor alone at a grocery store and have done the same for Senator Chuck Grassley on a train," Chauhan writes.

"However, given what Mr. Spicer and his boss are doing to this country, I do not believe they are entitled to these norms and customs. Donald Trump and his Klan are openly trampling on the rule of law, our Constitution and our democracy."

She goes on to discuss how she believes Spicer's response, "Such a great country that allows you to be here," was racist and an implied threat.

"I am still stunned by the boldness of having my citizenship threatened on camera," Chauhan said.
