Daniel Sprague — a retired New York City police officer — was visiting The Stage bar in Nashville recently to celebrate his 50th birthday, WSMV-TV reported.

Sprague's wife got him a bunch of nifty attire for the occasion, the station said. Including a red MAGA-styled cap that reads "Make Fifty Great Again."

"People were just coming up to me and, you know, just loving the little word play on the hat and taking pictures and wishing me happy birthday," Sprague recalled to WSMV.

But a woman in the bar had enough of the celebration.

"At one point a female came up from behind me, spun me around, and punched me in the face and then grabbed my hat off my head and was just yelling, 'How dare you!'" Sprague added to the station.

The punch left a deep cut on Sprague's cheek that he told WSMV "goes to the bone"; he added to the station that she likely was wearing a ring or had a set of keys in her hand as she threw the punch.

What happened next?

The woman hasn't been identified, but Sprague told the station he filed a police report and will press charges if she's found.

"We can't just go around as a society [and act violently] because somebody has a political opinion that doesn't match theirs," he added to WSMV.

Republican New York City councilman Joe Borelli — a friend of Sprague's — got word of the incident and posted the following to Twitter:

Personally, I believe that ANYBODY, who assaults someone for “political reasons”, should be PROSECUTED & JAILED for the MAX sentence without either probation or “plea bargains” for a HATE CRIME.
(Unless the “Hate Crime” laws apply to the LEFTISTS equally, too, they should all be repealed.)

This is getting to be ridiculous, I heard a woman in NH say yesterday that she had voted Trump in 2016 but he was to divisive, it is the MEDIA causing the division NOT Trump these people are to STUPID to vote!!!! If the media just reported the news instead of gaslighting Trump every damn day people would just be going about their much improved lives!!! The media is a CANCER!!!

The retired New York City police officer that I know here in Florida is always armed.

I like to walk with a cane when I wear my MAGA hat. No takers yet.

Ran my own experiment involving dogs. Owners tended to leash them when I was walking with a cane. Not when they thought was undefended. (Not going to use the artillery unless a set of teeth is wrapped around a body part) Good walking sticks make good neighbors.

ImVho, we would have FAR LESS divisiveness in our society
IF
the so-called MAINSTREAM MEDIA would (at least some of the time) simply TELL THE TRUTH,
rather than DISTORT the FACTS,
spew outright LEFTIST PROPAGANDA onto the public airwaves & into print media
AND
commonly TELL KNOWING/PREMEDITATED LIES, as in 2020 they routinely do.

MOST of what the so-called “mainstream media” claims is CORRECTLY called: FAKE NEWS.
