A Scottsdale art gallery owner now faces disorderly conduct charges after he was reportedly caught on camera taunting a group of Native American performers filming for the Super Bowl.
The video shows a man with long hair, identified as Gilbert Ortega, chant in a mocking manner, as well as saying "MAGA Country" at one point, a reference to Former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign slogan, Make America Great Again.
According to the caption that is burned onto the video, the incident happened while indigenous performers were being filmed by ESPN for Super Bowl-related video content.
In the video, the name "Gilbert Ortega Authentic Indian Art Galleries" can be seen printed on a glass door that leads into the business.
"It is reported that Mr. Ortega began yelling at the performers causing a disturbance," Scottsdale police said.
