Morry Matson, the white Chicago CVS manager who called the police on a black woman who tried to use a coupon, has a history of allegedly forging documents.
Matson is politically active as a gay conservative who is
restarting the Illinois Log Cabin Republicans, which had lost members and shuttered after splintering over Republican politicians’ efforts to
take away their right to marry. He supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
Matson was captured on video as he talked to the police about a black woman who tried to use a a manufacturer’s coupon that the store staff thought was fraudulent.
Matson is a conservative who opposes “high taxes,” but Matson was also
politically active in leading an effort to build a waterfront bike path to a beach near his own home. As part of that effort, he got the government to make the beach’s old sea wall a “historic landmark” and worked to convince his racist neighbors that that improving the beachfront would not mean they saw an influx of
“people from the South Side.”
