No. Because it didn't happen.
The assault described below occurred in the North Lawndale neighborhood, one of the worst in Chicago. Trump is the first Republican presidential candidate in decades to make a strong appeal to black voters.
From CBS News:
Police are investigating the beating of a man in a Chicago neighborhood by a group who yelled that the victim voted for Donald Trump, CBS Chicago reports.Warning graphic violence and language in the video:
Police said it was unclear what motivated the attack the day after Trump won the presidential election, saying it started after a traffic altercation.
Video of the attack was posted Wednesday on YouTube. It shows a man being beaten by a group of people while his car sits in the middle of an intersection. A person recording the video can be heard saying, "You voted Trump. You voted Trump."
The Chicago Tribune reports that the man, David Wilcox, said he voted for Trump but no one in the crowd would have known.
Perhaps these thugs are angry because the president-elect said he was "the law and order candidate" during the campaign.
Of my urban exploration adventures I received the most hostility in North Lawndale.
