In her post, she tagged the social media accounts for the Hawaii government, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She also ended the tweet by seemingly asking Hawaii Governor David Ige for an explanation, writing: "Gov. Ige??"

“He escalated and apparently he threatened our employees," Schmidt said. “We did call security, and the police came and helped too.” …
