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.
But but.....THEY WERE TRIGGERED!
It’s a shame that NYC public schools are mostly peopled by libtards, including their off the wall chancellor, Mr. Mariachi. Where do you think these little perps learned this foul political untruth which caused them to punch this poor guy out?
BTW, no mention of the perps race, HMMMMMMMMMM.

O.K.
That’s what .357 was made for Gus. Damn lucky you weren’t kilt. A mob of people is dangerous.
Wonder why that did not happen here in Alabama. Oh yeah, we are a free state and allowed to carry a firearm. If that had happened to me there would be a stack of dead kids, each with “MAGA” written on their foreheads in their own blood.
“Yeah ... but he started it!” /Libspeak
There, fixed it for you mofos.
Democrats are in favor of political violence. Period.
Horrible.
And, where is the police, when you need them?
Those attackers should be arrested, charged, convicted, locked up, and throw away the key.
I think it’s a hat that needs to be associated with “he’s packing a glock’. I’d only where one in public packing. Touch me and the next thing you’ll feel is hot lead into your balls! Have the courage of John Wayne and the shooting ability of John Wick!
“Where are the police when you need them?”
At the airport arresting law abiding citizens for having firearms in their luggage. Choking unarmed citizens to death. Arresting people for selling untaxed cigarettes. Sucking down 6 figure pensions. Etc.
The Left wants a Second Civil War and I hope they get it.
From a different article at the Daily Mail:
“Following the attack, he crossed the street, called the cops and filed a police report.
When authorities arrived the group was still making anti-Trump remarks but attending officers took no notice, Turan stated.”
So the police saw the attackers and I’m assuming no arrests were made.
Sure there was. It said “teens.”
These perpetrators need to be tried as adults.
The day will come.
Mr. Smolett,
This is what a hate crime looks like.
