    Welcome to Donald Trump's America.

    An immigrant family from Mexico who've lived in the United States since 1993 took their 14 year old son to the county health department to get a sports physical for the upcoming football season. They were confronted by an angry Donald Trump supporter who called them wetbacks and accused them of coming here illegally and trying to obtain free services.

    While the woman in this video has since publicly apologized, this is by far representative of the attitudes and prejudices that Republicans and Trump supporters espouse.

    'Wetback' video rant goes viral | GJSentinel.com

    Not that shocking to see ugly people, but where does the Trump supporter part come from? She didn't mention Trump at all. ( I'd guess she supports Trump, but you cannot just assert that )

    Also the victim in this is a crummy person for leaving her dog in the car. I hate people who do that, it's dangerous especially with how hot its been lately.

    The ultimate irony is where she says "Speak English, bitch. This is America." Apparently somewhere along the way people forgot that freedom of speech is sort of a big deal here. Not just for white English speakers.

    It doesn't say she's a Trump supporter, but it can safely be inferred. This is the behavior that he's pulling out of the shadows. He's riding a wave of hate all the way up.

    Spanish is an official language of Puerto Rico, so as a commonwealth of the US, Spanish does have a place in our country by that alone, just as French to Louisiana. But, that doesn't even tackle the stupidity of this woman, who probably thinks Puerto Rico is a plate at the Mexican restaurant.

    What this bitch needs, no offense to dogs, is for the Ten Commandmants carved in Hebrew and in stone to fall on her ass.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the woman herself a Hispanic? Sad as it is, I've met more than just a few Mexican-Americans in the state who support this clown.

    In all fairness, both Trump and Hillary supporters have verbally and physically abused people that they do not agree with. I don't support either. Neither side is innocent.

    But in my opinion, bashing Trump seems to sell more.

    I wouldn't say an n=1 is representative but okay. Most people voting for Trump will do it because they don't want Hillary to be president, and vice versa.

    Safely be inferred.. the heck with that!!! We can't"safely infer" anything!!! This could be classified as defamation then. The person in the video is clearly just a damn racist, don't care who they "support" I can say I support Hitler whilst giving out to charity and it wouldn't change a gosh darn thing! Blame the actual person who committed the crime, by saying it's because trump your lessoning the actual crime. Instead stand behind the poor victims of this senseless act.

    Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of your republic said the following:

    What's so fascinating is that the writers of the US Constitution saw the potential for someone like Trump coming to power, more than 240 years ago, and created the checks and balances to try to prevent this from happening...This will be a severe test of its effectiveness.

    I think you all underestimate how many bigoted anti-Trump people they are. Immigration is just one of Trump's policies, and even wanting really tough restrictions doesn't mean you're going to be racist like this person. There are bigoted people of every political ideology.

    Yeah, that one always gets to me. If this is the "land of freedom" then f*** you I'll speak Klingon if I want and you'll like it.

    The point I'll agree with is that there is no way of politicizing this event because she never says whom she supports. But Trump supporters are most often the ones who mirror his distinctly unfiltered denigration of anyone not on his side, particularly Mexicans with his wall and accusation of their illegals being rapists. If he would not say those things from a position of influence, the regular people who feel that way would not be so bold to bring out their filthy beliefs in public.

    Baconpox's quote is also a good point. But for how little my personal experience may mean, every genuine Trump advocate (not someone who just dislikes him less than Hillary and won't vote third party) I've gotten to talk to is profoundly racist, framing their views as "telling it like it is."
