An Australian teenager smashed an egg in the head of a far-right senator who blamed Muslims for violence. With anger running high following the deadly mosque shooting in New Zealand, the senator then punched the young man, who was then dragged to the ground.
The teen quickly became an internet sensation, and was trending on Twitter as #eggboy. A GoFundMe page has already raised more than $11,000 to pay for his legal fees and “more eggs,” according to the post. The goal of the fundraiser was $2,000.
