The left-wing continues to promote the narrative of the racist, hateful, violent Trump supporter. Yet, time and time again, real-life events show that this narrative couldn’t be further from the truth. There are countless instances of Trump supporters being attacked at rallies, having their Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats stolen, getting drinks thrown on them, etc.

Now, once again, another Trump supporter has been attacked at the hands of a violent leftist, only this time, the victim was a 15-year-old child in a MAGA hat. According to Breitbart News, Patrick Bradley, 34, physically assaulted the 15-year-old by slapping him in the face at a pro-Trump, New Hampshire polling station.
At this time, Bradley faces charges of disorderly conduct and assault.
A Closer Look at the Incident in New Hampshire
The Windham Police Department maintains that Bradley not only slapped the 15-year-old MAGA-hat wearer, but also became even more violent when two adults at the polling station tried to stop him. When seeing a tent marked with pro-Trump paraphernalia, Bradley assaulted the 15-year-old, attacked the adults who tried to stop him, and then tossed Trump signs around.
After the development of this story broke, first son Donald Trump Jr. weighed in. It turns out that the eldest Trump child met the 15-year-old prior to Bradley’s attack against him. Therefore, the first son took to Twitter, explaining that he was able to make contact with the 15-year-old and his family.
A Lack of Media Coverage
Since the incident, the mainstream media has all but ignored the actions of Patrick Bradley. Fox News is almost the only outlet to not only provide coverage of what happened, but also to speak with the 15-years-old’s mother who provided her own account, noting the immense patriotism of her son.
The lack of media coverage is another factor which Don Jr. pointed out via Twitter. As seen above, the first son rightfully called out the double standards, noting the media’s tendency to seize stories that even contain even a hint of impropriety regarding conservatives and Trump supporters.
Sadly, this does not mark the first time that the left violently goes after Trump supporters and it most likely won’t be the last.
