and this guy is an idiot. Among other things he seems top believe Native Americans got here after the Europeans:

"

They call themselves Native Americans, but anybody that’s right-minded knows that America was an uninhabited country and some of the Indians moved in there and now that they want their land, they’re calling themselves native, meaning first in time [and] first in right and that therefore they’re entitled to it. They’re still Indians to me,” he said.


And to say he was told he'd be beat up if were an open Trump supporter is nonsense. I also question the veracity of the claim the hot dog vendor went nuts because his wife wanted cheese on the hot dog.

Here's a link to an article about this and this man in the Santa Fe New Mexican: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/disenchanted-tourist-s-letter-fires-up-new-mexicans/article_cc382779-659a-52d8-9dd2-511e2d71bea7.html

And here's the response from one of the women he confronted on the Plaza: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_view/reader-view-we-were-polite-pa-man-was-looking-for/article_95015f10-0e52-5332-aa36-65d6eebb04d7.html
