ORLANDO A worker with anti-government views fatally stabbed his Trump-supporting boss at a highway construction site and placed an American flag next to the body after they got into a political argument, deputies in Florida said Tuesday.
Mason Toney, 28, was charged with first-degree murder for the killing of William Knight on Monday, according to an arrest affidavit from the Orange County Sheriffs Office.
Co-workers told investigators that Toney and Knight were friends outside of work despite their political differences. Knight was an outspoken American who was pro-Donald Trump, while co-workers described Toney as anti-government and very outspoken in his beliefs that the government is bad and out to get him, according to the arrest affidavit.
