George Lopez got into a physical altercation with a man that was reportedly harassing him with pro-Trump rhetoric at a Hooters in New Mexico.
The comedian was in town Sunday to film the upcoming faith-based movie Walking with Herb when TMZ, which obtained video of the incident, reported that the unidentified man started hectoring him with comments about his politics and yelling MAGA.
In the video, the man appears to be lying in wait inside the Hooters when Lopez walks up.
Here comes my boy, George, he says.
Lopez wasted no time getting physical with the man, having apparently had it with his alleged antics. The 57-year-old snatches the phone out of his hand and can briefly be seen grabbing him by the back of the neck.
A rep for Lopez did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
George wants to fight me, George wants to fight me! the man repeats in the video.
The comedian has been very vocal in the past about his distaste for the president and his administration. Recently, he filmed a video in which he used a water bottle to simulate urinating on Trumps Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Last year, he was reportedly booed off the stage at a charity event for his continued jokes about the president.

Wow...that’s so funny. What a comic genius! Idiot.
Harassing people in public is pathetic. The instigator over did it. At best, you say something snide, but to truly harass a person is flat out wrong.
A person might not like what Lopez has to say, so the answer is to turn the TV channel to another, or simply stop watching tv. I’ve done the latter, and will not resume any TV until this partisan crap ends, tv programming turns away from PC scripts and story lines, and some effort at quality is resumed.
Boy, there is something about him that just makes a person want to smack...
Oh, I forgot. She only meant one-way.
Kind of surprised it took just over ten replies for someone to make a very valid point.
An equally valid point is that it was for Hooter’s staff to remove the disruptive person, not for Lopez to lay a hand on him.
Hopefully there’s a nifty civil suit by the heckler who was battered and also a gift from Hooters for the heckler - a no trespass order baring them from any company properties, anywhere.
Lopheadz is getting free publicity for his upcoming faith based? film.
Walking with Jesus..I mean Herb.
Wheres the photo from? Is he passed out drunk?
When Jesse Jackson admitted that he used to spit in white eats food at a restaurant he worked at, he didn’t eat that food.
When Lopez told Mexican farmworkers to wipe their butts with the cilantro out in the fields after they crapped, what struck me was that -Lopez has eaten far more cilantro than I ever will... Cuz I don’t eat cilantro.
AND if he had half a brain, he should be growing his own.
Is that a scar on obama’s head?? What kind of surgery would leave such a mark...
They changed the rules, they get to live with them too.
Painful urination usually indicates a medical condition.
The guy who divorced his wife after she gave him one of her kidneys is a jerk? Who da thunk?
Obviously fake, just set up by loser Lopez for attention.
Why anyone know loser Lopez was going to be at Hooters? It’s not like Hooters hired him for anything.
Who would know who loser Lopez was? I couldn’t pick him out if he was stuck on my shoe.
Exactly. It would not surprise me if this was staged. Someone needs to find out more about the guy that supposedly harassed him. Doesnt sound like typical Trump supporter behavior.
Never got this guy.... he’s just not funny.... I know, humor is subjective, but even before all of his political tirades, I just never found him funny.
Fake publicity stunt
As the policeman played by Sean Connery said in the movie, The Untouchables: "You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone."
