Two women are facing hate crime charges after confronting a seven-year-old boy and his Trump-supporting mother outside the Democratic National Convention in Delaware, and seizing a 'Make America Great Again' hat.

The pair were caught on camera on August 20 in Wilmington - a few hundred feet from where Joe Biden gave his DNC acceptance speech that night.

They were arrested on August 23. 

On Tuesday a grand jury in Delaware indicted Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, on felony charges of robbery, conspiracy and hate crimes and a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child.

Amy also was indicted on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a man who tried to retrieve the hat, attempting to assault his mother, and offensive touching of the boy.

The indictment accuses the women of committing the crimes 'for the purpose of interfering with the victim's free exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege or immunity protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or committed said crime because the victim had exercised or enjoyed said right or rights.'

I am glad they got charged. But want a conviction. My true guess is a tap on the wrist and a small charge as I am willing to bet they will get funds to support them in fighting the charges. (from democratic sources of course.
