An apparent supporter of President Trump got into an argument with a man on a subway train and later pushed him onto the tracks, police said Saturday.

The 24-year-old victim had been accosted by his assailant, who was wearing a “Make America Great Again’’ hat, on a No.4 train on Friday.

Police said the attacker, who is African-American, spewed anti-Hispanic slurs at the victim. They both got off at Union Square, where the victim was shoved off the platform.

Did the Left give him that hat before, or after, he pushed the guy onto the tracks?

[americas.best.days...]

There are documented cases of people wearing #MAGA hats in NYC being harassed. One of a tourist about two weeks ago.

Even if it happened, you have to consider that he might have been defending himself.

Golly. Sounds like the misguided actions of a lone wolf who is struggling to assimilate into a social order he has been thrust into through no fault of his own.

I hope this doesn't lead to an anti-apparent-black-Trump-supporter-because-he's-wearing-a-MAGA-hat backlash.

Wrong - more like 95%.

:)

I rate the chances at 99.7%.

Not necessarily. The victim is “Hispanic”. Pure white and it would most likely be a hoax.

It’s about time a Trump supporter showed an anti-Trumper who’s boss.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Great writing. Reading the description you cannot tell who had the hat, who was the assailant and who was the victim.

[Texas Eagle]

That's all it takes to make the team? Wearing a MAGA hat?

Reminds me of that comedian-ette who joked about her friends and family asking her if she was a lesbian because she never had a boyfriend. She said, "What. Just because I like wearing pony tails and I drive a Subaru? Is that all it takes to make the team?"

Making America great Again, one liberal heckler at a time!

[Fresh Wind]

If that guy is a Trump supporter, then I am the king of England.

[EdnaMode]

Sounds like it.

[Crucial]

One of Hillary’s henchmen?

Thanks conservative98.

[Crucial]

Is it really a MAGA hat? I can’t read it. It’s too blurry.

[lastchance]

You mean the highly restricted sale of those hats did not prevent a tragedy after all. Lesson to be learned here folks.
PS. See “S” for sarcasm.

[Billyv]

More like 188% hoax!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Since it doesn’t appear he’s a liberal, he’s no longer automatically a victim because of his skin color.

[Rome2000]

I don’t agree.

There are literally THOUSANDS of psychos on the subway at any given moment, lots of them homeless and wearing whatever they can find or are given.

One look at this guy if you are a New Yorker and you know to give him a wide berth.

The first rule of riding the subway is to keep your back against the wall until the train stops, and STAY AWAY FROM THE PSYCHOS.

I was thinking self defense.
