Last
Wednesday, an East Carolina University Nigerian student Adedayo Adeniyi
was physically removed by security from a Donald Trump rally in
Fayetteville, North Carolina. Adedayo was singled out because he was
black and security mistook him for a protester.
On his way out,
20 year old Adedayo was accosted by a Trump supporter Jason Wetzel and
given a head spinning slap. Dayo saw stars and heard birds singing after
the dirty slap.
He told NY Daily News:
"I have no
criminal background. This man does. So please explain to me who the real
thug is. A young black man who is a junior in college majoring in
medical laboratory science and who also happens to hold many leadership
positions there? Or is it this man, with a criminal background who
attacked me for no reason?" In a cell phone video shot by
Adeniyi, Wetzel, with hate in his eyes, can be seen staring at him and
shouting,“F**k you. F**k you. F**k you,” right before slapping Adeniyi
in the face.
70 year old Wetzel, who had previously been arrested for voter fraud later admitted it was him in the video slapping Adedayo.
Jason told Daily News:
“I
can’t believe I did that. It was me, but I’m not a hateful man. I just
got caught up. When I saw the video all over the news of me doing that
to that young man, I was just disgusted with myself, I want to apologize
to this young man and maybe take him out to lunch or something."
