According to Jordanlizchan who shared this video was with her family celebrating her aunt’s birthday when the altercation occurred. The video begins with Michael asking Chan to repeat what he had just said.

In the Instagram post, she wrote “This is the face of the man who relentlessly harassed my family and me completely UNPROVOKED, UNWARRANTED, and UNCONSCIOUSABLE,” Chan wrote. “We were celebrating my Tita’s birthday, literally just singing happy birthday to her and taking pictures when this white supremacist starts yelling disgusting racist remarks at us.”

In the video, Michael responds by staring at the camera and flipping off Chan and her family. After a moment, Lofthouse says, “Trump’s gonna f**k you.” Lofthouse also says, “You f*****s need to leave! You f*****g Asian piece of s**t!.” Curently, the video is being widely circulated on social media.

According to Jordanlizchan before she started recording, the man-made other racist and vulgar comments like “F—k you Asians,” “Go back to whatever f—king country you’re from,” and “You don’t belong here.” But a server at the restaurant demands that Lofthouse leave the establishment while telling him that Chan and her family are “valued guests.”

In a separate post on Instagram, Chan shared a screenshot of a comment posted by Lofthouse, in which he threatens to kill a user who called him out over his racist behavior at the restaurant.
