I am sure CNN will be all over this.

quote:

A New York man claims he was attacked by a group of teenagers in Manhattan this week for wearing one of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats.

Jahangir "John" Turan, the owner of an art gallery, told Fox 5 New York that the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon on Canal Street. Earlier in the day, he said he visited Trump Tower and purchased one of the signature red hats featuring Trump's 2016 campaign slogan because "I think he's doing a great job."

Turan claims he was “jumped” by a group of about 15 young people who yelled obscenities like “f--- Trump” before allegedly assaulting him. He accused one teenager of smashing his head into a scaffolding pole, resulting in severe bruises and a swollen eye.

“It all happened within 10 seconds,” he said. “I jumped out, crossed the street and called the police.”

Turan told the outlet that he suffered a fracture in his cheek and will hear from a specialist if there has been any permanent damage to his sight.

"It's sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America," Turan said.

Until conservatives and patriots realize that we are going to have to take matters into our own hands, this will continue. A 2nd revolution has to happen or America is finished. I'm old, so me dying won't be such a big deal, but I am also about to become a great-grandpa, so this shite is very important to me

Odds that any of the 20+ Dems running for president publicly condemn this?

Odds that anyone from the MSM asks any of the 20+ Dems running for president to publicly condemn this?

I'm sure that his crime will be given equal investigation as the Smollette "assault" was. After all we are all truly equal. ..right?

Will it get the same level of scrutiny as the Rapinhoe poster spray-paint "hate" misdemeanor?

What I enjoy about these incidents is when a progressive chimes in and says that the victim should have known better than to wear an inflammatory piece of clothing.

Totally sound logic there. Makes me want to ask their opinion on how girls should dress when they go to the club.

Not at all surprised.

I was in NYC earlier in the summer and bought a "Trump" hat at Trump Tower. My niece and her boyfriend (who live there) strongly suggested it was in the best interest of my well-being to NEVER wear in it the city.
