She's a lying whore - like most liberal democrat women.

(BUZZFEED) - A woman whose Facebook video explaining a 
heartbreaking experience at her local Walmart went insanely 
viral is making the story up, a store spokesperson told BuzzFeed 
News.

Paige Yore, of Pueblo, Colorado, posted a video to her Facebook 
page on Friday detailing an experience she said she had with a 
cashier at her local Walmart store.

According to Yore, she said the woman in front of her began to 
lay into the cashier for being slow.

"He can't ring anything up, he can't remember the codes, he's 
taking deep breaths," she said of the cashier.

Yore said she wondered “what the hell happened” for him to be so 
distressed.

Suddenly, she said the woman in front of her began to lay into 
the cashier for being slow.

The woman became even more agitated after her card was declined.

Yore said that she stepped in and tried to calm the woman down.

“This young man’s obviously having a bad day. Let it go. It’s 
not his fault that you don’t have money,” she said she told the 
fellow customer.

After she helped him, Yore said the young cashier suddenly 
hugged her and began to sob. She became emotional as she 
explained how the cashier said his mother had killed herself 
that day, but he had to go to work to pay his rent.

She concluded by saying she decided to share her experience to 
remind people to always be kind. The story clearly resonated and 
has since been viewed over 23 million times. Many people 
complimented Yore on her kindness and asked if they could help.

The story was also shared by countless news outlets as a lesson 
in “empathy.”

But Wal-Mart says the incident never happened.

A spokesperson for the retailer said the company contacted the 
store when they saw the video going viral and determined it 
wasn’t true.

“We found that the associate’s mother is actually alive and in 
good health,” the spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.

In fact, the spokesman said Wal-Mart has reviewed security 
footage from that store on Friday and spotted Yore checking out. 
But, he added, there’s “no evidence” the exchange took place.

The spokesperson said Wal-Mart has “very clear video evidence” 
of Yore’s time in the store, but that the incident she described 
was not on the tape.

In fact, he said the encounter seemed pretty normal.

“We see her come up and she’s checking out and there doesn’t 
seem to be a lot of conversation,” he said.

The cashier also said that he was just there doing his job 
normally that day.

“He’s been very cooperative and helpful,” the spokesperson said.

Since Yore posted her video, that Walmart store has been 
inundated with calls from the local community asking to help the 
cashier, which is a good reflection of the residents, the 
spokesperson said.

“It’s a great example of the kindness that people have, 
certainly in that community,” he said.

BuzzFeed News has contacted Yore for comment.
