‘I’m a walking hate crime’: Trump supporter caught on video harassing elderly women

Overzealous racists have become the targets of rampant internet backlash for the last few weeks and one would think that would send them back into hiding, but it appears Trump supporters are as emboldened as ever – no matter how many funny memes we make about them.

A Sacramento man has become the latest MAGA supporter to go viral after a run in during a peaceful protest took an ugly turn.

A few dozen activists have been demonstrating outside Rep. Tom McClintock’s office every Tuesday and Thursday the last few weeks, as part of a series of protests that have dogged the congressman since Trump’s election in 2016.

But recently, a group of anti-protesters have been appearing to silence them, causing tensions to mount until they finally erupted this week.

Tuesday, video surfaced of a man in a red hat addressing protesters as “scumbags” and shouting personal insults and gay slurs.

“Oh yeah, I’m a hate crime,” the unidentified Trump supporter can be seen declaring in the footage published by Sacramento’s CBS 13. “I’m a walking hate crime.”

“Ninety-five percent of them are elderly women, probably 65 years or older,” Richard Martin, a resident who lives nearby told the local news station. “They’re literally just peacefully protesting, standing on the street holding signs and they are being physically and verbally harassed.”

Barbara Brass, the woman the counter-protester appeared to be targeting most, says she respects freedom of speech rights but believes things got out of hand when they turned physical and glasses were knocked off a women’s face.

Check out the video of the incident below.

For some reason the attacker’s face was blurred out of the video which is currently protecting him from the full wrath of Twitter. But something tells us some super sleuth on the internet may still be able to track him down.
