"You ain't supporting s---," the man says.

This is not the first time that supporters of President Donald Trump have said they were harassed for wearing the "MAGA" hats and other Trump gear.
In May, a 22-year-old said he was harassed and threatened by employees at a Cheesecake Factory in Miami, Florida, for wearing the "MAGA" hat. And in 2016, a group was turned away from a Cook Out in Colonial Heights, Virginia, when they showed up in Trump shirts and hats.
