San Antonio, Texas, police are investigating an alleged assault that occurred Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning at a Whataburger fast-food eatery.
As depicted in the brief video clip below, a profanity-spewing man reportedly throws a drink in the face of a teenager and leaves the restaurant with youngster’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat, which he claims he’s going to toss into a fireplace.
Sixteen-year-old Hunter Richard provided this response to Fox29 San Antonio:
“I support my President and if you don’t let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off. I just think a conversation about politics is more productive for the entire whole rather than taking my hat and yelling subjective words to me.”
