‘A Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now," according to court documents.

Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 in Grand Junction, Colorado, after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja'Ronn Alex's vehicle for around 40 miles from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander.

After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump's America now! I'm a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!”’

Fake News Reporters like Mr. Alex aren't protected by "hate crime laws", so it isn't "bias motivated" at all. For something to be "bias motivated", the crime would have to be based upon Alex's race, religion or sexual practices.

Who said it was racism? That's the first thing you lefties jump to. According to the article, the attacker was questioning his citizenship.....that's not racism.

One can only wonder what factors in the victim might lead the attacker to question his citizenship.

It’s almost impossible to deduce.
