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.

Nov 24, 2019 — The red 2018 Cadillac CTS with a Florida license plate caught fire just after 11 p.m. Friday on Carroll St. near Court St.
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.
