A new video shows a Mexican-American supporter of President Donald Trump filming a white woman who had allegedly harassed her because she was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
Paloma Zuniga, a businesswoman, said that she was in line to mail a package at a post office in San Diego on April 5 when the woman ahead of her line said, “You should be ashamed of yourself for wearing that hat, you stupid [expletive].”
That was when Zuniga switched on her camera.
Attacked by a liberal for my hat!

“As a Trump supporter, I deal with this kind of stuff a lot,” Zuniga told Yahoo.
The video shows the woman who accosted Zuniga saying, “Don’t talk to me and don’t record me,” before striking Zuniga’s phone and wrist.
“Don’t touch me!” Zuniga responds. “You have no reason to harass me because of my hat.”
The woman claimed she didn’t strike Zuniga but a postal worker says, “I saw it.”

“I don’t care if you don’t agree with me,” Zuniga said. “I have a right to wear it.”
The woman then asks to speak to a supervisor, but the postal employee instead threatens to call the police on her.
The woman then turns around and lashes out at Zuniga again, hitting her phone. “Don’t tape me!” she says while whipping out her phone to record Zuniga.
“Make sure you share it everywhere because I support the president of America,” says Zuniga. “And if you don’t agree with it, you should move somewhere else.”

The woman then points her phone at Zuniga’s package and tells her that she took a picture of her address.
Zuniga said that she’s faced similar harassment in the past and doesn’t strike back. She also plans to keep wearing the MAGA hat.
Zuniga has previously been interviewed by NTD Television and its partner media, The Epoch Times.
Standing near the border as migrants pushed within 500 feet, Zuniga told NTD in November 2018: “We have no idea who they are. Also, we have a lot of poverty here in Mexico already. We’ve been working hard, fighting every day to have a better life, to have a better quality of life, to have more jobs … and we don’t feel it’s fair that our government is allowing these people to come in and giving them benefits we don’t even have as Mexicans.”
Zuniga, who also runs the Facebook account, “Paloma for Trump,” also spoke with The Epoch Times’ “Thought Leaders” program in March while attending the Conservative Political Action Committee conference.
Zuniga said that scores of migrants headed to America are not only affecting the United States but also Mexico, where she resides.
“We already have so many problems, crime, a lot of problems in Tijuana, so we don’t want anymore [migrants],” she said. “We know what it’s like to live in danger. We know what it’s like to live in fear, to not be able to go to the grocery store because you could possibly get killed.”
