Lawsuit claims a MAGA hat is a ‘spiritual’ symbol
A man is claiming his Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat has religious significance, arguing he was unfairly discriminated against for his “spiritual” beliefs when he entered a New York City bar wearing the iconic red cap.
According to the Gothamist, Philadelphia accountant Greg Piatek filed additional court papers last week in an ongoing suit against West Village bar The Happiest Hour, which he says discriminated against him in January. Piatek initially filed suit in March with the Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming bartenders skipped giving him drinks and insulted him because of his political headwear.
But new documents have introduced a religious twist, the Gothamist reports. In a memo, Piatek and his lawyer now claim he is part of a “protected class” because his MAGA hat is an expression of “closely held spiritual beliefs” that ”entirely transcend the political realm.” He says the topper emblazoned with Donald Trump’s campaign slogan is expressive of a creed — legally speaking — that loosely revolves around sympathy for the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
As strange as it sounds, Piatek’s lawyer Paul Liggieri insists there is legal precedent to support his argument. Although he acknowledges their use of creed is “expansive,” he points to previous instances where the court has acknowledged the rights of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children because of their faith — regardless of whether they belonged to a religious tradition that generally opposes vaccinations, such as Christian Scientists.
