A reporter yelled at a man wearing a hat with President Trump’s 2016 slogan — Make America Great Again — then bragged about it on social media.
Natalie Weiner, who has written for Billboard and Bleacher Report and now works for the sports website SB Nation, wrote on Twitter that she was in New Orleans attending a jazz festival.
“just yelled at a prick with the audacity to wear a fucking make america great again hat in the middle of a jazz festival,” she wrote.

“he was walking to see irma thomas and he doesn’t deserve to be within a 10 mile radius of irma thomas,” she later wrote.
Then she wrote the most perfect post that only a liberal — you know, the people who preach tolerance — could write.
“i don’t understand how people can be so hateful i really don’t.”

While the aptly named Weiner is just a sports reporter, she is still, in fact, a journalist. That prompted some conservatives to take her to task for lashing out at a guy wearing a hat.

Pretty sure yelling and name calling are a bit more hateful than wearing a hat.

Imagine thinking you’re the good person for yelling at a random stranger because they had a hat you didn’t like. Millions of Americans have that hat. You don’t have to like their views, but it’s insane to react this way to them.
Go listen to some Jazz and mind your own business.
