Artist's Facebook disabled after posting 'MAGA hat collection'
KMSP.com ^ | 5/24/19 | Andre Torrez

Just 10 minutes before we spoke over the phone, Baltimore area-based artist Kate Kretz received a call from Benicia’s Jen Tough Gallery. She said they want to show her art in an upcoming exhibition this July. Her work is called ‘The MAGA Hat Collection’, part of a larger ongoing so-called #bullyculture series. But images of her work have led to her Facebook account to be disabled.

The hats from her collection--bold and crimson colored-- are the exact shade of red as any President Donald Trump MAGA hat--that’s because they’re actually made of them. One piece, “Hate Hat,” is actually more of a hood-- a Ku Klux Klan hood, made up of about 13 deconstructed, knockoff ‘Make America Great Again’ hats, with the exception of one, which she bought, only to make sure she had the right texture and color.

You couldn’t write a book detailing today’s leftist success in controlling thought without being sued by ‘1984.’

How crazy is this.

This artist opposes Trump, and is using the Maga hats to make a political statement against Trump.

And then the idiots who run Facebook don’t understand that, and have banned her, apparently because the sight or mention of the hats is a trigger.

She’s an anti-Trump kook selling red Klan hoods. Good riddance to bad rubbish and maybe Fakebook finally got one right.

It’s the Left’s circular firing squad.

“It’s really a giant mistake. I have no way of knowing if the trolls got together to report it, or if it was Facebook’s image software. Either someone saw an opportunity, or I’m a victim of a faulty system.”

I'd call it karma.

Artist? Makes a hood red with Make America Great Again. Takes a swasika and put Make America Great Again. This idiot makes Jim Carey’s whiney crap look like Disney in comparison.

No doubt it’s another “mistake.”

Yes, the system is faulty because it's only intended to suppress conservatives, and somehow you got caught in the web by mistake.

>> From her bio: “She ... earned a Cours De La Civilization Française certificate at The Sorbonne while working as an au pair [babysitter] for a prominent French family ...

Impressive? No - it’s a bullshyte CERTIFICATE from a non-credit quickie (as short as one or two day) “hose down the dumb tourists” French Civilization course.

The American equivalent? “We gwine ta Collie.”

I have not posted, liked, or browsed on Facebook in about a year. Although I love my friends, I’m glad I cut FB off. If things don’t shape up, I’m going to erase the account the best I can.

it is absolutely flabbergasting that a mere hat has turned into a trigger for violence and hate-

The left are mental and unhinged!

Facebook is a private enterprise and owned by a liberal, fascist hypocrite. (Appealed for open borders then built a huge wall around his home.)

He can do what he wants, but conservatives need their own forum/venue.

Poor girl just wanted to share her anxiety disorder with the world on a platform full of fellow sufferers of such disorder.

Turns out it triggered their brownshirts and got her un-personed on Fascbook, what a twist!
