Two brothers in Boston were arrested for allegedly beating and urinating on a homeless Hispanic man and they said that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was behind their motivation.
The New York Post reported that Scott and Steve Leader encountered the man sleeping near a subway stop when they were leaving a Boston Red Sox game on Wednesday. The two siblings allegedly ambushed, beat and relieved themselves on him.
When police found him the 58-year-old Hispanic man he was visibly shaken, covered in urine with a broken nose and bruised limbs.
Vox noted that when arrested one of the brothers allegedly told police that he was inspired by the GOP candidate.
"Donald Trump was right — all these illegals need to be deported," Scott Leader said.
The Leaders, who each have criminal records, pleaded not guilty to charges that included assault with a dangerous weapon, indecent exposure and making threats.
When informed of the alleged assault committed in his name Trump said, “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”
