An Obama appointee in the Department of Education allegedly insulted, spat on and savagely beat an autistic Native American man for wearing a Redskins sweater.

Barrett Dahl, 28, says he was at a Native American gathering in Washington, DC in October 2015 when appointee William Mendoza spotted him wearing the sweater.

‘He comes to me and says you’re a “weetard” for wearing a Redskins shirt,’ Dahl told KFOR. ‘He says where are you from that you’re such a “weetard,” you don’t understand that you’re offending me?’

Mendoza is of the Oglala-Sicangu Lakota people, and an appointee dealing with Native American affairs in the Department of Education.
He is an opponent of organizations like the Redskins using Native American people as mascots.

Dahl, from Oregon, is part of the Sac and Fox Nation. He said he wore a sweater with the team’s controversial logo because he felt ‘cultural pride’ while at the Pow Wow on October 30 last year.

But for Mendoza, Dahl claims, it was a step too far. ‘He spits right in my face,’ Dahl said.

‘The boy sitting next to me sees it. He doesn’t say anything. So, I get up and leave the ballroom to get the police.’

Dahl says that’s when Mendoza approached him on an escalator and beat him so savagely he wound up with a fractured arm, broken teeth and a black eye.

Medical bills – including three surgeries – came to $40,000, he said, and now his parents are facing foreclosure.
