WaPo Blames Trump Voter Who is Beaten

This Washington Post headline seems to be victim blaming.

Headline: “Student wearing Trump hat, arguing with protesters, is punched, kicked to ground.”

Does the fact that he was arguing really belong in the headline? He was exercising his right to free speech and was beaten for it. But the WaPo headline writers thought that was important enough to put it not just in the story but in the headline.

Do the headline writers at the Post write “Woman, dressed in short skirt, assaulted.”
