Patricia Spittler originally posted the video that showed the man tossing a soft drink on a group of teen boys wearing Make America Great Again hats at a Whataburger in San Antonio.
However, it appeared that Spittler may have left out some important details about what led to the attack in the first place.
A witness at the scene, who wishes to remain anonymous spoke out and said the teenager hurled racist remarks before the man attacked them.
They were talking about for the Fourth of July hanging black people from trees that that would be the perfect party. Hopefully, with Donald Trump within the next few years, we can celebrate a white country, a real country without blacks. Maybe we can deport them to Africa, the witness told KENS-TV.

That storyline is coming from an unidentified witness. Everyone needs to be diligent against Republican dirty tricks.
The man in the video was flat out wrong. He's being charged with assault, has been fired from his job, and has been kicked out of the Texas Green Party.

The full context needs to be put out there quickly. These racist instigators will spin themselves as victims any chance they get.

You should have gone for a two-fer and insulted Mexicans while you were still there. In San Antonio, a lot of the cops are Latinos and kids like you are too bunny-dumb to guess where their forebears came from.
