Trump diehard claims she was barred from wearing MAGA hat at Citi Field: ‘Discrimination’

A New York Republican and Trump diehard claims she was barred from entering Citi Field until she took off her “Make America Great Again” hat, a decision the organization claimed was a mistake.

Aura Moody and her friend Taisha were both wearing MAGA hats when they arrived at the venue for the Mets game Wednesday night, along with other members of the Queens Village Republican Club.

They had just made it past security when a Citi Field staffer told them they were not allowed inside with their Trump gear on, she said.

“The United States of America is no longer the vehicle of freedom and tolerance. I am living under a communist regime where our freedoms are trampled upon…that was the first thought that came to my mind,” Moody, 64, told The Post of her shock at being asked to remove her hat.

Moody said she tried to invoke her First Amendment rights multiple times but was told by the staffer that the MAGA cap was “too political” and she needed to take it off.

Hate has no home here, and wearing a MAGA hat is hate. We hat it.

Next time put a Biden patch over the “MAGA” logo——see what happens, then pull off the “Biden logo” once past.

So wrong, these venues need to be clear to visitors AND employees that they don’t discriminate or censor. Sure, okay to say no to t-shirts with violent messages, but a Trump hat is not a violent message!

Hope there isn’t a Trump bumper sticker on her car.

Such as....

Private property; not open to the public as they stated that they went through security. So Citi Field is well within their rights to enforce a dress code. So not a criminal or even civil issue.

HOWEVER, the court of public opinion may have something to say.

Ask for a supervisor - most likely it’s just a dumb employee over stepping their role.

When you’re black, you are naturally expected to stay on whitey’s plantation and never leave.

Not like one phone call couldn’t have the entire stadium evacuated.
