Trump fan denied entry to CitiField because she was wearing a MAGA hat

A New York Trump-enthusiast was allegedly refused entry to Citi Field after staff at the stadium spotted her wearing a MAGA hat. 

Aura Moody, a board member of the Queens Village Republican Club, was allegedly stopped from entering the stadium on Wednesday, when the New York Mets defeated the Oakland Athletics, until she took off the CAP. 

According to a Facebook post on the incident, Moody was stopped as soon as she passed through security, and although she argued it was her 'first amendment right to wear the cap, she was told that she had to go back to her car and leave her cap there if she wanted to attend the ballgame.' 

'Is this the America that you want to live in?' the post questioned. 

It comes amid growing national tensions in the lead up to November's presidential election, with exclusive DailyMail.com polling finding that political divisions have driven Americans further apart on key issues than ever before. 

According to the post about the incident, Moody was attending Wednesday's game with other members of the Queens Village Republican Club, situated in deep-blue New York City, which claims to be America's oldest Republican club. 

After passing by security, Moody was allegedly stopped by a Mets employee, and told she was not allowed to wear a red baseball cap with the words 'Make America Great Again' on the front. 

'We all know what that means,' the post noted. 

'Aura argued for a brief period but her friends wanted to get in to see the game she returned to her car and left the cap there. She also spoke to a supervisor and has filed a complaint.

'Folks, I honestly don't give a s*** if you despite Donald Trump, that is NOT what this is about! Is this the America you want to live in?'  

Viewers reacted with outrage after Moody's alleged expulsion from Citi Field after it was shared by journalist Miranda Devine, with one questioning: 'Do they send people back to their car if they have on a (Kamala) Harris shirt?'

Others branded the move 'ridiculous' and urged Moody to explore whether her rights were violated.

Citi Field did not immediately respond to a request for comment, as did the Queens Village Republican Club. Moody could not be reached. 

Moody has previously made a name for herself around New York's political scene, including leading a march through the streets of Manhattan to protest the COVID-19 vaccines. 

According to the Facebook post on Moody being barred from Citi Field, Moody was a teacher in New York who lost her job after she refused to get the vaccine. 

In footage shared to X, she was seen marching with a small group of anti-vaccine protestors last year, as she raged against the 'unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandates.' 

Moody's group also appeared to be involved in rallying Trump supporters earlier in the year when the former president held an unprecedented event in the Bronx. 

It was expected that Trump may avoid campaigning in his former home state of New York almost entirely as it routinely votes Democrat, however pundits said they were staggered by the large numbers of people who gathered for the rally in May. 

Trump's crowd in the Bronx was packed with Black and Hispanic voters, leading some to feel the rally marked a turning point in the Republican's ability to gain votes from minority groups heading into November's election. 

Polls are also showing Trump has made significant inroads with Black and Hispanic voters in this election cycle, including one Ipsos poll that found African Americans were 20 percent less likely to vote for the Democrats than in 2020. 

Two June polls conducted by AP-NORC also showed that about 7 in 10 black Americans have a somewhat or very unfavorable view of Trump - a poor favorability, but a clear uptick since Trump only received eight percent in the last election.
