Your support makes all the difference.Two supporters of US President Donald Trump were caught on video threatening to burn down a bookstore in Berkeley, California.
Revolution Books posted the video on YouTube of the man and woman coming into the store and threatening employees.
The man, wearing Mr Trump’s signature, red ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, called a staffer “commie scum” and said: “we’re going to burn down your bookstore.”
“They call themselves Western Chauvinists, and they're all Trump supporters,” employee Reiko Redmonde told local news station KRON4.
The video starts with the female presidential supporter asking the staffer: “I’m racist because I support our president?”
The staffer said, yes, she did think the woman was racist for supporting Mr Trump.
The staffer then informed the couple they were being filmed and asked to "please leave" the shop to which the man responded: "This is America, f*** you!”
The man also said that the only customers who bought books there were "antifa pieces of s***," referring to the term for the growing anti-facist movement in the US.
Standing outside the store, the man yelled at the staffer and others that they were "anti-American" and "anti-white racists".
The store has been a target for alt-right groups, who support Mr Trump, for the last several months and the threats have gotten increasingly more violent.
The threats reportedly began after former Breitbart News editor and right-wing activist Milo Yiannopoulos, was scheduled to speak at nearby University of California - Berkeley last year.
“They're about making America great again, which is about making America white again,” the employee said.
Rafaael Kadaris, another employee, called the all-volunteer bookshop the "political and intellectual centre for an actual revolution".
