Man wearing ‘MAGA’ hat shoves stranger onto subway tracks

Reporters seem to be doing that more and more. Basically, someone-did-something-bad-to-someone-else. Loose or no descriptions of assailant. Confusing chronicle of events. Little or context or backstory.

Clearly staged using a homeless man being paid by the person behind the camera.

[americas.best.days...]

Why couldn’t he be a Trump supporter?

[Boomer]

Hoax for sure but I can see what they’re doing. They are vilifying the MAGA and Trump Supporters at the same time. Such vile actions by sub-human’s and I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt they have any humanity at all in them. I’m more inclined to think they are a foreign species from another planet sent here to destroy us than believe they are human at all. That level of evil is Hitler and Goebbels-esque.

Didn't you see this photo on every newscast and every front page for weeks on end as the media relentlessly covered the story and its political implications?

I didn't either.

Attacker - Victim?
Sounds like there was an argument and a brawl, the winner became the attacker, the loser became the victim.

[Rusty0604]

In other news, a man at the subway reported a black man ran up to him and ripped off his MAGA hat and fled the scene.

[Hildy]

Probably stole it.

[BlueLancer]

...the attacker, who is African-American, spewed anti-Hispanic slurs at the victim.

Anyone else notice that this is one of the few times in a news report where the race of the alleged perp is described? Normally, it's just "a man" or "a teen" ... not this time.

It would appear that some form of cultural appropriation has taken place. Most likely for nefarious purposes.

That guy looks as out of place as Gump at a Black Panther rally!

[Hildy]

That’s the headline of the story and there is so much wrong with it. So now we are identifying criminals by their political persuasion? IT’S a hat. If he was wearing a PETA t-shirt would the headline have read “far left extremist pushed nan onto subway tracks?” We we in very dangerous territory folks. In This Country. IT’s A HAT he could have picked up out if the garbage or found in the street. I am appalled at this.

[Retvet]

Probably a leftist trying to make bad publicity for conservatives.

[Retvet]

Could it be a black racist?

[Slyfox]

Maybe he was wearing this hat:

[airborne]

I imagine Gump would say something like, “ I love black panthers. They are such purty animals.”

[joshua c]

Yes, the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL found the one black guy in the United States of America wearing a MAGA hat.

They call it “good” journalism.

[trebb]

“Apparent Trump supporter” says it all - I wonder if they asked him what his political leanings are....

[Vendome]

Police said the attacker, who is African-American, spewed anti-Hispanic slurs at the victim

Nope.

Not a supporter.

Just another clownie imposter

A Craig Livingston type operation, brought to you by the same bunch who brought us Craig Livingston.

Buy that man a beer.
