The video of the incident caused several conservative personalities to lash out against the fast food chain, and lamented the “harassment” against right-wing supporters in recent weeks.

The Whataburger incident came as several members of President Donald Trump‘s administration—and other prominent Republicans like Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell—have been confronted in public.

The man who accosted the teenager, Kino Jimenez, was arrested late last week and charged with theft.

The fast food chain condemned the incident, adding that it doesn’t “condone this type of customer behavior in our restaurants.”
