Donald Trump Jr. offered to send a new MAGA hat signed by President Trump to the teenager who was assaulted at a Texas Whataburger for wearing the trademark hat.

The president’s eldest son asked Twitter users on Thursday night to help track down 16-year-old Hunter Richard after news of his altercation with a patron at Whataburger went viral. According to Richard, his hat was violently ripped off, and a drink was thrown in his face because of his political leanings.



If someone can get me this young man’s information I’ll get him a new #maga hat... SIGNED by #potus!!! https://t.co/zHBz4gKpkf — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 5, 2018



“If someone can get me this young man’s information I’ll get him a new #maga hat... SIGNED by #potus!!!” he tweeted out to his followers.

Earlier on Thursday, Trump Jr. called the attack “disgusting” and a “disgrace” and questioned whether the backlash would be different if the victim was a Democrat.



This is disgusting and a disgrace. No one should feel unsafe supporting their President @realDonaldTrump or #MAGA agenda. Imagine someone did this to an Obama supporter?!?! pic.twitter.com/ViFw0kNqKF — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 5, 2018

“This is disgusting and a disgrace,” he tweeted. “No one should feel unsafe supporting their President @realDonaldTrump or #MAGA agenda. Imagine someone did this to an Obama supporter?!?!”

The Tuesday incident is currently under investigation by Texas police.
