The grieving father of a teenage boy killed at a track meet was ambushed by January 6 rioters who demanded he take part in a 'Protect White People' press conference.

Metcalf's 17-year-old son Austin was tragically stabbed in the chest while attending a track meet at his Texas high school on April 2.

Teenager Karmelo Anthony was last week granted bond as he awaits his next court appearance on a charge of murder.

The case has become a lightning rod for political debates, with a fundraiser for Karmelo topping $480,000 as supporters rally behind him and say he's been treated unfairly due to his race.

In an extraordinary video, Jake Lang - who was part of the January 6 riot before his case was commuted by President Trump - launched a vile attack against Metcalf after realizing he didn't share his opinion on the influence of race in his son's death.

'Would you be willing to stand by me... and talk about this issue that is larger than Austin at this point,' Lang asked Metcalf over the phone, surrounded by supporters.

'God rest the beautiful young man's soul that would've been one of our strongest voices if he were alive today.'

Metcalf listened politely as Lang spoke, before dismantling his arguments and demanding his son's name, picture and memory are not associated with his cause.

'Are you done?' he asked. 'My turn to speak. You are part of the f**king problem, my friend.

Austin’s father is a woke self loathing white liberal.

How do you know this?

Agreed. His son was killed, and some people only care because they want to use his son’s death for racial politics. He doesn’t want the murder of his son to be used in this way. When he tells them to back off, they attack him.
