Editor’s note: See update below with comment from the man who made the video.
There’s a video going viral that shows a black Trump supporter in an altercation with a white guy at a restaurant, but it’s probably a hoax. Or at the very least, a prank, as it’s from a known Internet video prankster:
White guy confronts black Trump supporter about his MAGA hat and knocks it off his head! This is assault.
This guy needs to identified before he really hurts somebody! pic.twitter.com/miOvbrJWdt

Now, could this actually show a white guy attacking a black Trump supporter over his MAGA hat? Who knows. But base on some of his other videos…
Like this woman leaving her boyfriend over Popeye’s chicken:

Or this one where he makes sex noises in public:
Maybe it’s best to give this one a pass.

Snopes and others discovered the identity of the white guy in the video, who was reportedly in on it:
It is indeed a staged act and this is blowing way way over what I thought it was going to be. I am the one in the video. It was just a skit/joke. It was in bad taste. and I apologize to whoever it caused any issues with. It’s a youtuber/comedian’s page and we just did a reverse role play type thing. I didn’t know it was going to cause all of this … I wish people would realize it.
