New York City police are searching for a man in a “Make America Great Again” shirt and hat who allegedly pushed a man onto the subway tracks on Friday.

Police say the suspect, described as a black male, got into a verbal dispute with the victim while onboard a train, during which he made racially derogatory statements about the victim, who is described as a 24-year-old Hispanic man.

The man in the MAGA garb then followed the victim off the train and punched him in the head several times before pushing him onto the tracks, according to New York’s ABC7 news.

The victim was rescued by a friend and another person in the station and treated at a hospital for a head injury sustained when he was pushed onto the tracks, according to the report.

I like how this story focused on that fact that this a-hole was wearing a MAGA hat + shirt. Sounds very staged. "Put on this hat and shirt and push that guy into the subway tracks so we can say ALL Trump supporters are JUST like you." F*%K MSN + that guy.

13. My head asplode.

They feel sorry for the "hispanic" victim, but will they ask for his papers and try and deport him once he's stabilized?

17. I've seen similar comments here on DU.

Someone always brings up the false flag conspiracy nonsense. The truth is that there is bad behavior from people on both sides, especially when emotions run high. There are always people who will take things too far.

6. They think it's staged because the suspect is described as a black male.

Apparently, they are aware of all of the black males supporting Trump and they had been accounted for, so this could not be one of them. (Sarcasm)

8. just like

Clayton Bigsby, though this is serious because it's real.

9. He's using the MAGA cap as the basis for an insanity plea in case he gets nabbed.

[WillParkinson]

10. Guess they found Trump's African-American supporter....

Who is just as batshit crazy.

[not fooled]

14. OK so if a Dem was dressing up in MAGA attire, where

are the cases of RWers wearing pro-Obama or pro-Hillary garb pushing people onto train tracks?????

*crickets*

(not to give them any ideas)

they must think their convoluted theory goes only one way

their crackpottery knows no bounds

15. Maybe He Is Angling for a Presidential Pardon?

If he can get on Fox News to give Trump a shout out, he may have a chance.
