I'm surprised that Scott Adams would be fooled by this as he seems much smarter than that. The problem with too many conservatives is that they want to virtue signal and show the other side that they don't tolerate any kind of "racism" so they are drawn into these knee jerk reactions that play right into the hands of the Left.

We need to learn not to comment or make judgements until all the facts are in.

Here's an important lesson to take away from all this. If you are going to wear any MAGA gear in public, expect that leftists will try to set you up in staged situations where you come out looking racist as hell. They can't just walk up and punch you in the face like they used to do. This makes them look bad so they've had to change tactics. These "racists Trump supporter" events will be filmed and put on the internet where they'll immediately go viral. Your career, reputation, friendships, and the safety of your family will be at risk. If you are young, your opportunity to attend college will be in jeopardy.

This event was totally staged to provoke the exact outrage it did and these kids had no idea they were being played. It was defused only because additional footage surfaced that showed the whole story.

A MAGA ball cap and vigilant situational awareness need to go hand in hand.

Remember: Scott Adams is not a conservative.
He is fascinated by & respects Trump, but may not agree with him on many major issues.
