Regional Administrator of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Lynne Patton recorded the video and posted it on Facebook.
“#HappyBirthday to one of the greatest people I know. We love you, Eric! Amazing night with even more amazing friends. I think Lara summed it up best when she said, ‘I love everyone at this table so much!’” Patton wrote.
Social media and news sites got wind of the video and offered an angry response, linking the sombrero to Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric and The Wall.

His dad may call Mexicans "rapists" who bring drugs across the border, but Eric Trump still spent his birthday donning a sombrero and chowing down Mexican food. https://t.co/77xtnEdnHK

@EricTrump Doesn't it seem a *little* ironic to joyfully wear a sombrero after calling Mexicans rapists & accusing them of ripping off the US & trying to wall them out…?https://t.co/SA7hbHXTv2
