When President Trump retweeted writer Matt Walsh highlighting a viral video of a vicious beating of a white man by a black man at Macy’s, the media went NUTS calling Trump racist.
But apparently when Trump said “Was this man arrested?” it was a good question. And the answer to it will soon be a deserved “yes.”
Damire Palmer, seen on the video beating the Macy’s manager, is being charged with felony assault for the UNPROVOKED attack.
“This is the most egregious felony assault charge in Michigan law, so I think it’s appropriate,” said the prosecutor.
