Arts and crafts giant Michaels accused of outrageous discrimination against Trump supporter

An Ohio influencer says a Michaels employee refused to custom-frame three items she brought to a store in Mayfield, including images of Donald Trump. The incident drew attention online and raised questions about whether the refusal reflected company policy or an employee’s judgement.

Michaels said it has no policy against framing political items and aims to welcome all customers. The company said it had contacted Maras to discuss her experience and meet her project needs; her video had received more than 11,000 likes and 1,300 comments by Wednesday afternoon. The article also cites a 2024 customer complaint about a refusal to frame a photograph of Trump.
