Trump Star Guard

About

On October 27, 2016 an unidentified homeless women took up guard over presidential candidate Donald J. Trumps' walk of fame star which had been previously been vandalized. The woman was then assaulted and humiliated by supporters of Trumps' presidential opponent Hillary Clinton. A video of this quickly spread throughout the internet particularly 4chan's /pol/ board who together with members of the Trump campaign have begun a search to identify the woman and reward her.

Origin

On October 27, 2016 three videos of a woman guarding the star were uploaded by Rodrigo Eilert using an account named Koali Kifator. The videos showed the woman trying to protect the star while being pushed and insulted by a crowd of Hillary supporters who also stole and destroyed the signs she made. She eventually falls down and stays on the ground while being degraded by the crowd. Rodrigo Eilert was also the person who recorded the videos and posted this quote in the video's description "After Bullying Everyone, Trump Supporter get what she's been asking for… A Beatdown from a Latina"

Rodrigo made posts on social media where he showed his support for what happened.

Reaction

Following the release of the video many Trump supporters took to Twitter to try and inform Donald Trump and members of his campaign of the event. Trump's attorney Michael D. Cohen replied to one of these tweets and asked people to help in locating the woman because Donald Trump had a gift for her.

After the video went viral Rodrigo replaced the original video description with claims that he did not condone the violence which contradict many of his early comments on the event, both on Facebook and the original video description. The following quote is the part referred to

"I DO NOT CONDONE violence of any kind, physical or verbal. This lady has all her rights to go out and speak what's on her mind, being hateful or not. But when you do that, you have to understand that others have the right to respond to you as well."
