A blustering Massachusetts Faculty of Artwork and Design pupil just lately berated a Trump supporter in an unruly, expletive-laced, two-minute-long rant triggered by a hat — but it surely wasn’t the standard pink MAGA headgear that set him off.
Nicky Miceli’s chapeau was a white baseball cap with a big gold “47” emblazoned throughout the entrance, but it surely was sufficient to set off the aggressive April 10 encounter, video confirmed.
“I truly feel sorry for this individual,” Curry Faculty senior Nicky Miceli advised The Put up. “I believe the liberal media has instilled this hate in people, where they have been constantly ripping into not just Trump, but his supporters, too.”
Miceli, 21, a member of Massachusetts’ Republican State Committee, was strolling exterior Boston’s Wentworth Institute of Know-how, on his option to meet up with mates, when the unusual mustachioed man walked as much as him and “just started shouting in my face.”
After 10 seconds, a realization got here to him: “I thought, ‘Holy crap! I’ve seen these videos all the time on social media, and now, its happening to me!’” he stated.
He pulled out his telephone and began filming the irate man, who known as him a “Nazi” or a “Nazi punk” a dozen occasions within the footage.
He was able to defend himself if attacked, however stayed cool because the squawking pupil stored following him, demanding he “get the f–k out of here” and “go f–k yourself,” Miceli recalled.
As a substitute of returning the profanity, Miceli thanked the anti-Trumper “for giving me great content” — making the abrasive man even angrier.
The verbal accoster even tried — and failed — to enlist passersby to hitch in his rant and “boo” Miceli, the video confirmed.
Miceli, who paid $5 for the U.S.-made “47” hat, advised The Put up he didn’t report the confrontation to Boston cops.
“What happened to me, [the attempted assassination of] President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and what happens to Trump supporters all across the country is because of hate, fueled by the socialist media,” Miceli stated.
“We live in the greatest country in the world, where you have the freedom to express yourself,” he added, “and everybody has a right to wear whatever they want. But this is who we are, as Trump supporters. We’re way more mature than them.”
