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.

A friend helped him back up, and he was treated for a head laceration.

The attacker was described as having a heavy build and was wearing blue dungarees, a red shirt and a black jacket.

He fled to a different part of the station and boarded an L train.




I wonder if all maga brainwashed people belong in asylums.

Some white supremacist at it again I suppose.

Edit- A black guy. That's unexpected and not even in the headline.

There's a tremendous irony to a black Trump supporter hurling anti-Hispanic racist slurs. Sir, you do know your culture has spent centuries fighting the very kind of oppression you're trying to inflict, right? You do know that Trump hates your guts and is trying his hardest to eliminate anti-racism efforts in government? Why do you hate yourself so much?

It's in the 3rd sentence and when I saw it I wasn't phased considering it isn't the first time we've seen it.

In a population 300 million strong I would think it impossible to NOT have a black man put on a MAGA cap and shove someone onto the tracks. I mean roll 300 million dices and see if that result will not pop up at least a few dozen times....

It's also weird It's like Jesse Jackson burning crosses Missippi. I mean it could happen but it's... strange.

I wonder how much they paid him to do it?

I have seen a few things that just ... and the black guy with all the swastika tattoos

Putting on a maga cap and do stupid shit ... well thats bound to happen. But yea, probably more so for people in maga hats!

The pusher was probably just throwing shade on Trump.

 

[alien42]

Any minority that supports trump is likely mentality ill.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Each time Trump touts MAGA the meaning seems to change. Now when I hear it my brain translates it as Making America Gag Again. Might have something to do with hookers, porn stars and playmates

Phased /= Fazed. ;-))

I reserve the right to be whatever I choose to be.

Israel not long ago had a problem with a group of Nazi, Hitler-worshipping Jews, going round beating up fellow Jews for, er, being Jews (I think they were of Russian origin). What's that TVtropes rule about any scenario or character a writer can dream up being potential sexual-fetish material for somone, somewhere? Similarly, any kind of weird self-defeating political stance one can imagine will crop up somewhere or other.

Plus, you know, mental health.

Guessing the improbability on that is pretty high though. Maybe higher than 300,000,000 : 1

I wear a Linux "Red Hat" red hat every weekend. so far have not had a nutjob liberal attack me. life is good.

 

[r4sh1d]

Must be a black homeless guy who grabbed the hat off a dumpster? Or OJ?

 

[pmv]

Patrol 36?

Yeah, that's them. Seems one of them had a Holocaust survivor grandparent!

I reckon a black guy supporting Trump doesn't reach that level.

(Maybe he felt unusually strongly about the economic effect of Hispanic immigration on low-income black people? - There are always possible conflicts between people in different disadvantaged groups, that's just how the world is.)

Redhat should make their hats non red.
