According to various news reports, a Native American man was cruelly taunted by Trump-supporting youngsters:
Footage of a group of teenage boys – many wearing Make America Great Again caps – taunting a Native American man in Washington DC has caused outrage.

The teens were taking part in an anti-abortion rally on Friday, while Mr Phillips was at an Indigenous Peoples March.
A number of Twitter users said the youths’ behaviour was “appalling” and their parents and school “should be ashamed” …
Mr Phillips, who holds an annual ceremony honouring Native American veterans in Arlington National Cemetery, told CNN he was “scared”.
“I was scared, I was worried for my young friends. I don’t want to cause harm to anyone,” he told CNN.

This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.
“The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion,” the statement said.
Phillips approached the students.
