Sarasota man says MAGA hat got him kicked out of Bahi Hut Lounge

A Sarasota man says he was denied service, told to leave the popular Bahi Hut Lounge and had the police called on him Friday evening because he was wearing a red Make America Great Again hat in support of President Donald Trump.

The bar's owner, after some initial confusion over why the customer had been asked to leave, said it was because an employee enforced the business' no-hats policy, although the man who was kicked out said at least one other person in the Bahi Hut was wearing a hat that night and was not asked to leave, and an Instagram search for the bar turns up multiple photos that appear to show people wearing hats inside.

The dispute became public after the customer contacted state Sen. Joe Gruters, head of the local and state GOP, who shared the issue on social media.

Mark Marlow, 51, said it was his first time at the Bahi Hut, which is one of the region’s most beloved bars and has been open since 1954.

It's rude and, frankly, looks kind of dumb.

I'm old-fashioned though.

I guess he learned that from his god-king who always whines about “not fair” when something doesn’t go his way, just like a spoiled toddler.

A BLM hat kicked out and the ACLU would be all over it.

It’s just a stooooid hat.
