Braxton in an interview with Utah (KUTV) had this to say: “The two girls, they kept antagonizing me, calling me a racist, saying I look r—–ed, and calling me a white supremacist, white privilege, because I was wearing my Trump hat,” McElhaney said.

KUTV reports:
He said two female students ripped his hat off, stomped on his glasses, threw his American flag face mask in the dumpster, and spit in his face. Braxton said he had to battle the urge to fight back, but kept calm.
Braxton’s family says the school acted quickly to investigate. His mom, Meshyalah McElhaney, said she can barely get through watching the video.

The West Jordan Police Department is involved and criminal charges are being filed by Braxton’s family.

It’s hard enough being a teenager in high school, now you have to worry if you support the president of the United States you will be attacked. The tolerant left strikes again.
