In the video, the Karen in question, identified by the TikToker as Cara Cahill-Lydon, gets in a confrontation with the TikToker as she approaches the lightly-attended rally. Cahill-Lydon begins the exchange by asking the TikToker, “Where’s all your Black friends?”
Cahill-Lydon levels several charges against the TikToker over the course of the video, most notably saying, “You love using your blackness” twice. She also calls the TikToker a “token Black.”

Cahill-Lydon also believes she’s being called a racist, so she sarcastically says, “Yes, I’m a racist now,” even though the TikToker insists she didn’t call her that.
“I’m a KKK racist,” Cahill-Lydon sarcastically asserted, adding a little spice to the exchange. Then, Cahill-Lydon demanded, “Get the f–k outta my face.”
The Dot article also noted that “viewers have rallied around @dillyonce and her friends, sharing the video on social media and tagging Cahill-Lydon on Facebook.”
The article noted that Cahill-Lydon appears to have deleted her Facebook account, “as it no longer appears in a search, and many users said it was no longer available when they tried to track it down.”
The article didn’t it make it clear, however, how the TikToker was able to specifically identify the woman she name-checked on the social media platform, or why the original version of the video was taken down.

The article did note, following up on the fruitless Facebook search, “That hasn’t stopped irate viewers from seeking vengeance through other means. Some people have begun searching for [her] employer in the hopes of getting her fired.”
