A New York City art gallery owner says he was viciously beaten in Manhattan by a large group of teens for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
Jahangir "John" Turan, 42, says it happened Tuesday evening on Canal Street. He was wearing the MAGA hat that he had purchased earlier in the day at Trump Tower.
"I love President Trump. I think he's doing a great job," Turan said.
He says the group of about 15 "kids" yelled "F*** Trump" and stomped on him. One of them smashed his head into a scaffold. Turan says he suffered a fracture in his cheek and a badly swollen eye. He's awaiting an eye specialist to determine if there is any permanent damage to his sight.
He held a Thursday afternoon news conference to demand that the NYPD find those responsible for the attack.
As for wearing the hat again in New York City, he says he'll think twice before doing it again.
"It's sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America," Turan said.
FOX 5 NY will update this story with any police statement.
If I’m wearing a target, I’m packin.......
And I'm going to predict that the 2020 election is going to be the end of national elections in America.
Welp.
Feckless FEC and DOJ do nothing about voter intimidation and civil rights violations by DNC brownshirt fascists.
If the police even bother looking for them.
Commie city. Worst is USA. look who they elect. Blah blah. De commio
They’ve lost the battle for public opinion, so now must shut down other opinions.
I’m not thrilled that we’re still operating in an environment where public displays of support for Trump (especially bumper stickers) can cause serious disruptions - particularly at the workplace - for people. The 2016 election was the first time I saw such little support for EITHER CANDIDATE on bumper stickers and lawn signs (I’m in northeastern NJ - I understand much of “real America” had plenty); a very disturbing trend (though it certainly caused the enemedia to underestimate the depth of Trump’s support in many areas). They didn’t erode Trump’s support, just drove it underground.
Where’s Bernhard Goetz when we need him?
