The ordeal, which took place in Hamilton County, Florida, on November 21, prompted Tyler's worried mum, who claims to also be a Trump supporter, to take to Twitter and share the video.

She claimed the attackers were motivated by a Trump 2020 campaign hat that her son had previously worn to school.

'HE WAS A TARGET'

She said that the boy stopped wearing the hat due to harassment, but that the bullying continued.

She tweeted: "To be clear, my son bought his Trump 2020 hat with his own money at the flea market a few weeks ago.

"He was proud to wear it. He wore it to School, but due to immediate bullying he put it away & didn't wear it to school again, sadly the damage was already done & (he) was now a target.

"From that point on he was steadily getting messed with. He was getting hit, tripped & verbally abused on the bus, but it all came to a head yesterday on his bus ride home."

Plain and simple this was a hate crime and attempted murder according to the state of Florida since it was over three kids that jumped him and these kids are older and larger

She added: "He didn't tell us about the bullying, but they took it to a new level yesterday and we are just now learning what he was going through."

According to his mum, Tyler was examined after the school, and nurses found older bruising along with the new injuries.

His mum claims the assault was racially motivated. Tyler is white, and the assailants appear to be black.
