- A teenager named Hunter Richard claims that a man attacked him at a San Antonio location of Texas-based burger chain Whataburger on Wednesday night because he was wearing a red “make America great again” hat. A video of the incident shows an older man throwing a drink at the kid and stealing his hat. Local authorities later arrested the drink-thrower, a guy named Kino Jimenez, and charged him with “theft of a person,” which is a state felony. According to police, Jimenez came up to Richard and asked him why he was wearing his hat. After the kid reportedly explained that he was a Trump supporter, Jimenez tossed the drink in his face and ran away with his hat. On Twitter, Donald Trump Jr. called the incident “disgusting” and vowed to get the kid a new MAGA hat signed by his dad. This piece of attire has inspired several other disputes in restaurants over the last year.
