"This is what Donald Trump's talking about, people like you," she reportedly said.

Isaiah Baskins, a father of three, was at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on April 14 to seek treatment for his then two-week-old daughter when a white hospital volunteer began verbally and physically assaulting his family.

“You’re getting out,” the volunteer, Donna Bridger, screamed as she lashed out at the family, pushing him and his children out the door of the waiting area and calling them racial slurs. “Shut your mouth up,” she yelled repeatedly, according to a video Baskins recorded during the incident.

The video went viral, and authorities have charged the former volunteer with simple assault. But Justin Bamberg, the lawyer representing the Baskins family, told ThinkProgress that the video leaves out an important detail: The volunteer referenced Donald Trump before Baskins started recording the attack.

“When she’s flipping out on them, she says ‘Get your black kids out of here. Do you even have a job? Do you know what a job is, n-word? This is what Donald Trump’s talking about, people like you.”
