Aura Moody, a board member of the Queens Village Republican Club, was allegedly denied entry to the stadium on Wednesday when the New York Mets defeated the Oakland Athletics until she removed her CAP.
According to a Facebook In a report on the incident, Moody was detained once she got through security. Despite claiming it was her “First Amendment” right to wear the hat, she was told to go back to her car and leave her hat there if she wanted to attend the game.
“Is this the America you want to live in?” the post asked.
The outbreak comes as tensions in the country rise ahead of November’s presidential election. An exclusive poll by DailyMail.com shows that political divisions are driving Americans further apart on key issues than ever before.
Queens Village Republican Club board member Aura Moody was reportedly denied entry to Citi Field on Wednesday for wearing a MAGA hat
Moody, pictured with former Republican candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa, was reportedly barred from the stadium after “supervisors told her the hat was too ‘political.’”
According to the report on the incident, Moody attended Wednesday’s game with other members of the Queens Village Republican Club, located in deep-blue New York City and claiming to be America’s oldest Republican club.
After passing through security, Moody was reportedly stopped by a Mets employee and told she could not wear a red baseball cap with “Make America Great Again” emblazoned on the front.
“We all know what that means,” the message said.
‘Aura had a brief argument, but her friends wanted to go inside to watch the game. She went back to her car and left the cap there. She also spoke to a supervisor and filed a complaint.
“People, I really don’t give a damn if you, despite Donald Trump, are NOT about this! Is this the America you want to live in?”
Viewers reacted outraged to Moody’s alleged eviction from Citi Field after it was journalist Miranda Devinewhere one of them asked the question, “Do they send people back to their cars if they’re wearing a (Kamala) Harris shirt?”
Others called the action “ridiculous” and urged Moody to investigate whether her rights were violated.
Citi Field did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the Queens Village Republican Club. Moody could not be reached.
Moody has previously made a name for himself in New York politics, including leading a march through the streets of Manhattan to protest COVID-19 vaccines.
According to the Facebook post about Moody’s refusal to go to Citi Field, Moody was a teacher in New York who lost her job after refusing to get vaccinated.
Footage shared with X showed her marching with a small group of anti-vaccination protesters last year, while she was furious about “unconstitutional COVID vaccination mandates.”
Moody’s group also appeared to be involved in mobilizing Trump supporters earlier this year, when the former president hosted an unprecedented event in the Bronx.

During the event, former President Trump drew an estimated 25,000 people to his rally in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon, with many of those in attendance being Black and Hispanic voters.
Trump was expected to avoid campaigning in his former home state of New York altogether, where the voter base typically leans Democratic. But experts said they were stunned by the large numbers who gathered for the rally in May.
Trump’s audience in the Bronx was packed with black and Latino voters, and some saw the rally as a turning point in Republicans’ ability to win minority votes ahead of the November election.
Polls also show that Trump has gained significant leads among black and Hispanic voters this election cycle. For example, an Ipsos poll found that African Americans were 20 points less likely to vote Democratic than they were in 2020.
In addition, two AP-NORC polls from June found that about 7 in 10 black Americans have a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of Trump. That’s a low rating, but a significant increase considering Trump got just 8 percent of the vote in the last election.
