“forced to throw MAGA hat in trash”
More accurately, she was asked to remove the hat. She could have turned around and walked out, or put it in her pocket, she wasn’t really forced to throw it away.
A different article yesterday said she was prevented from taking it in the venue.
And they would not hold it for her.
So she would have had to return it to the car if she drove there.
Similar to the Smithsonian issue of a few months ago.
