#Women face hate crime charges after attacking Trump supporters outside DNC

Two women have been indicted on hate crime charges after grabbing a 7-year-old boy’s “Make America Great Again” cap in front of his mother outside the Democratic National Convention in Delaware.

Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, were indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on felony charges of robbery, conspiracy and hate crimes, as well as a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child.

Amy also was indicted on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a man who tried to recover the cap, attempting to assault the boy’s mom and offensive touching of the child.

The women are accused of committing the crimes “for the purpose of interfering with the victim’s free exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege or immunity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or committed said crime because the victim had exercised or enjoyed said right or rights,” according to the indictment.

“Violence in any form is unacceptable, but harming another person – let alone a child – because of the expression of their views betrays the principles on which our country was founded,” said Delaware Attorney General Kathleen Jennings, a Democrat who has joined multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration.

“Free speech, free assembly, and free expression are sacred, no matter whether we agree with the opinions expressed, and especially when we don’t,” Jennings added in a statement.

The incident — which was captured on video that went viral — occurred outside a restaurant at the Wilmington Riverfront on Aug. 20, a few hundred feet from where Joe Biden gave his DNC acceptance speech.

The footage shows the two women damaging signs supporting Trump and taking a red MAGA cap.

“Get it Liv, get it,” Amy tells Winslow, who picks up the cap from the ground and tosses it.

The boy chases after the women, saying, “That’s somebody else’s hat,” before Amy picks it up again and walks away with it.

“Mom, call 911,” the boy says.

The clip later shows Amy apparently slugging a man who tried to get the cap back before she throws it over a fence. Amy then approaches and confronts the woman shooting the video.
