The assault on the MAGA red hat is a vivid example of the Left’s outright racism and anti-religious bigotry. Congresswoman Omar is just fine with her hijab — to attack that is religious bigotry. But to attack Catholic boys and their red hats? The Left has no problem. Note well: Trayvon Martin was shot to death for, as the charge went, wearing a hoodie. The red hat is not just today’s hijab, it is today’s hoodie. No one should ever be murdered —literally or twitterly — because of what they wear. Ever.
True, but comparing the MAGA hat to the hijab is a specious comparison. One is the symbol of a certain group of the right in the second decade of the 21st century; the other is the “ultimate feminist choice,” as former Al Gore advisor Naomi Wolf assured us all a decade ago.
