Jack Peterson, the now-fired conductor for Chattanooga\u2019s Inclined Railway, can be heard in the viral TikTok video wishing the easily-offended passengers a \u201cHappy Independence Day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo the very, very few Americans in here, Happy Independence Day,\u201d Peterson said in the video, while one of the passengers told him to \u201cshut up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo the rest of you. Welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave,\u201d Peterson said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video was taken and uploaded by Nathan Scherer, who traveled with his family from Florida to Chattanooga for July 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scherer used hashtags such as \u201cracism\u201d and \u201cxenophobia\u201d on TikTok, where the video has been viewed over 600,000 times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt just really upset me, the whole time riding down,\u201d Charles Scherer, Nathan\u2019s father, <\/span>told<\/span> Katie Glanton with WTVC. \u201cAnd I kept thinking the company needs to know about this because he was the only one representing the company and I just had a feeling that they don\u2019t know that he is saying this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Scherer reported the incident to the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), and Peterson was fired immediately, <\/span>according<\/span> to the New York Post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe will not work for CARTA or the Incline Railway again,\u201d CARTA said in a statement <\/span>reported<\/span> by News Channel 9<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to apologize directly to the passengers who experienced this and to everyone who has seen the video and felt its sting. It should never have happened,\u201d said CARTA Chief of Staff Scott Wilson in an emailed statement. \u201cWe have zero tolerance for language that demeans or excludes anyone who rides with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor 131 years, the Incline Railway has welcomed visitors from Chattanooga and from around the world,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cEvery passenger who boards our railway deserves to feel respected and welcome, and we are committed to making sure that is always the case.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterson responded with his own statement and backed up his remarks, Fox 17 reported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very patriotic, it was the USA\u2019s Independence Day. I was celebrating with my fellow Americans (native or non-native). I truly do believe we are the greatest country on earth. My statement about if you don\u2019t like the country and don\u2019t believe we are the best, then you can leave is a freedom of the ISA [sic] that many other countries do not have. It is not a racist or xenophobic thing to say. If you don\u2019t believe in making this country better, then why are you here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
