Two women are facing hate crime charges after confronting a 7 yr old boy and his Trump-supporting mother outside the DNC in Delaware, and seizing a 'Make America Great Again' hat. The pair were caught on camera August 20 in Wilmington - a few hundred feet from where Joe Biden gave his DNC acceptance speech that night. They were arrested on August 23. On Tuesday a grand jury in Delaware indicted Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, on felony charges of robbery, conspiracy and hate crimes and a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child. Amy also was indicted on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a man who tried to retrieve the hat, attempting to assault his mother, and offensive touching of the boy.
The video of the incident went viral after being posted online by Students for Trump. In the clip the two women were seen damaging signs supporting Trump and taking a red MAGA hat. 'Get it Liv, get it,' Amy tells Winslow, who picks up the hat from the ground and throws it. The mother is heard saying: 'Get your hat back, baby.' The boy chases after the two women, saying: 'That's somebody else's hat.' Amy then picks it up again and walks away with it. 'Mom, call 911,' the frightened boy says.
The video later shows Amy apparently punching a man who tried to get the hat back, before she throws it over a fence. Amy then approaches and confronts the woman shooting the video, which abruptly ends.
