This Trump supporter is playing hardball with the New York Mets.
Aura Moody wants $2 million in damages from the team and Citi Field, claiming she was barred from entering the stadium last month until she took off her “Make America Great Again” hat, according to a Sept. 6 Brooklyn Federal Court lawsuit.
The Republican from Saint Albans, Queens, insisted the ban violated her right to free speech and caused her “emotional distress.”
“This country is supposed to be the beacon of freedom for all,” Moody, 64, who is representing herself, told The Post.
She’s accusing the Mets of “racial discrimination and political retaliation” and “reputational harm.”
Moody, a social worker and mother of two, said she and her friend were wearing MAGA hats when they arrived at Citi Field on Aug. 14 for a Mets-Oakland A’s game.
They were with eight other members of the Queens Village Republican Club.
They had just made it past security when a Citi Field staffer told them they were not allowed inside with their Trump gear on, she said.
Moody said she tried to invoke her First Amendment rights multiple times but was told by the staffer that the MAGA cap was “too political” and she needed to take it off.
