The project recently attended rallies for Trump as well as for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and offered free hugs. Who doesn't want a hug? Well, apparently, people who attend Trump rallies hate hugs. Or maybe they just hate hugs from black men?

At a Trump rally inย Janesville, Wis., video footage shows an anti-Trump protester being maced and then being asked, "How does the burn feel?" A black guy offering hugs was met with things like, "White is better," and "I don't want any drugs." Another woman threatened to punch him if he wasn't a Trump supporter.

On the flip side, when the project attended a Sanders rally, the same black guy was met with abundant amounts of love and kindness.

Sorry, Trump supporters, y'all look crazy.
