BOSTON -- The Mexican government has confirmed that a homeless Boston man police was beaten by two brothers, one of whom said he was inspired by Donald Trump's views on immigrants, was a citizen of Mexico.

The brothers urinated on the 58-year-old man, punched him and beat him with a metal pole while he slept near a train station, and one of them said afterwards that Trump was right about deporting "all these illegals," police said.

Daniel Hernandez Joseph, the consul general of Mexico in Boston, condemned the attack, saying his government would "take the necessary measures to defend the rights and interests of Mexicans," The Boston Globe reported.

The brothers, Scott Leader and Steve Leader, were being held without bail on charges including assault and indecent exposure. They pleaded not guilty.

If a crazy person relied on some statement by a liberal to justify violence, Fox News would be all over this and would be blaiming the liberal for causing this violence. Here this is another case of It is Okay If You Are A Republican
