A Latino man in California has published video of a white woman calling him and his mother 'rapists' and 'animals' while citing President Trump as her inspiration.
Esteban Guzman, a 27-year-old systems administrator and part-time landscaper told CNN he was working at a new client's house in the San Bernardino mountains with his mother when the woman confronted them. The 35-second clip shows the unidentified white woman giving Guzman the middle finger and accusing them of being illegal and they needed to go back to Mexico.
The 27-year-old Guzman, who is a United States citizen, asked the woman why she hated him and his mother so much.
"Because you're Mexicans," the woman responds.
"We're honest people right here," Guzman says.
"Yeah, rapists and animals," the woman continues. "Drug dealers. Even the president of the United States says you're a rapist."
"Rapists? How many people have I raped" Guzman asks. "How many drugs have I dealt?"
The video has garnered more than 5 million views since it being posted on Monday.
During his campaign, Trump was on record multiple times saying of immigration from Mexico that the country wasn't sending its "best" people to the U.S.
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump said at the June 2015 campaign rally. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
