NEW: Trump Supporter Sues MLB Team Over Alleged MAGA Hat Ban

A Trump supporter is suing the New York Mets and Citi Field for $2 million after claiming she was barred from entering the stadium last month unless she took off her "Make America Great Again" hat.

Aura Moody, 64, filed the lawsuit in Brooklyn federal court on September 6. The Queens native told the New York Post that the ban clearly violates her right to free speech and caused her emotional distress. "This country is supposed to be the beacon of freedom for all," she told the outlet.

Moody, who is representing herself, is further accusing the organization of "racial discrimination and political retaliation" and "reputational harm."

(FREE RED HAT: "Impeached. Arrested. Convicted. Shot. Still Standing")

The incident occurred when Moody, a social worker and mother of two, bought tickets for a Mets home game against the Oakland Athletics on August 14.

Both Moody and a friend were wearing MAGA hats when they arrived at Citi Field. They had travelled with a group of  eight additional members of the Queens Village Republican Club.
