Teenager says man threw drink at him then stole his ‘Make America Great Again’ hat
Texas police are reportedly investigating allegations that a man took a 16-year-old boy’s Make America Great Again hat and threw a drink at him at a fast food restaurant in San Antonio.
“So went out for a 2am snack and my friend (wearing a MAGA hat) had his hat stolen and a drink thrown in his face (and mine, you can see my arms on the left of the video),” one of the boys believed to be in the video shared on Twitter early Wednesday morning.

{mosads}The video shows a man throwing a drink before making a profane remark and then walking off with a red hat that appeared to belong to one of the teenagers.
“You ain’t supporting s—, n—-,” the man said in the clip.
According to News 4 San Antonio, one of the boys, identified as Hunter Richard, said he was dining with his friends at a Whataburger restaurant when he had his hat stolen.
“I support my president, and if you don’t, let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off,” Richard told the news outlet. “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.”
According to another local news station KENS, a video posted to Facebook by Richard’s mother has been viewed more than 2 million times. In the post, which has since been made private, his mother asks social media users to help identify the “scum bag of the year” who took the hat.
“It would be nice to know who he is for someone to let him know his actions are not okay,” the mother reportedly said in the Facebook post. “Real tough guy… approaches a group of teenagers minding their own business just having a burger! He kept his hat, too.”
