Alabama man says his slashing of Baby Trump balloon was 'good versus evil'

An Alabama man charged with criminal mischief in the slashing of a towering “Baby Trump” balloon at a college football game attended by the president last weekend has defended himself, saying it was a matter of “good versus evil”.
“This is the first time I’m ever seen a liberal get mad about chopping up a baby,” he added.
Al.com reported that Hoyt Deau Hutchinson called the Rick & Bubba Show, syndicated on talk radio, on Monday.
Hutchinson said he was shaking in anger when he drove past the balloon and its handlers during Donald Trump’s visit to see Louisiana State play against the University of Alabama.
He yelled at the protesters, he said, but then realized they might have seen him, so he bought a University of Alabama shirt to blend into the crowd. Pretending he wanted a picture with the balloon, Hutchinson said he used a material cutter with a sharp razor to slice the balloon open.
