New York woman sues Mets for $2 million after being barred from wearing Trump MAGA hat in Citi Field: report
Aura Moody said she was stopped from wearing the hat at an Aug. 14 game at Citi Field
A New York woman is seeking $2 million in damages from the New York Mets after she claims that she was barred from entering Citi Field while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, the New York Post reported Saturday.
Aura Moody filed a lawsuit earlier this month after she told the outlet that she had been denied entry into Citi Field on August 14 after a staff member had said she was not allowed in with the hat which had the slogan of former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
“This country is supposed to be the beacon of freedom for all,” she told The Post.
Moody said she had been attending the Mets’ home game against the Oakland Athletics
with several members of the Queens Village Republican Club. She and another member were told the caps were “too political” and could not be brought into the stadium at all, despite her making her First Amendment pleas.
But Moody claimed that when she finally reached her seat after taking the hat back to the car, she saw that other White members of her group were inside wearing MAGA attire.
