Truth
This is last years video and had nothing to do with religion, it was a passengers’ fight.
When the key frames in the video were run through a simple reverse image search, it was found that the video was uploaded on Reddit on 3rd August 2019. It is an old video of a Caucasian man spitting at an African-American man. Alt News did a keyword search and found out that multiple reports on this case was published on multiple platforms like New York Post, Daily Mail, The Sun and Mirror. According to the reports, the racist white man spat at the African-American man at 34th Street in Manhattan, New York. Thus, this is an unrelated video used in a different context to manipulate people.
