While the PA Game Commission may consider baiting illegal for deer, I will take great comfort in wearing my MAGA hat - in addition to a BERETTA 92 and several 15-round mags. Please oh please give me a reason......

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - A New York City art gallery owner says he was viciously beaten in Manhattan by a large group of teens for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.

Jahangir "John" Turan, 42, says it happened Tuesday evening on Canal Street. He was wearing the MAGA hat that he had purchased earlier in the day at Trump Tower.

"I love President Trump. I think he's doing a great job," Turan said.

He says the group of about 15 "kids" yelled "F*** Trump" and stomped on him. One of them smashed his head into a scaffold. Turan says he suffered a fracture in his cheek and a badly swollen eye. He's awaiting an eye specialist to determine if there is any permanent damage to his sight.

He held a Thursday afternoon news conference to demand that the NYPD find those responsible for the attack.

As for wearing the hat again in New York City, he says he'll think twice before doing it again.

"It's sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America," Turan said.

FOX 5 NY will update this story with any police statement.

This is one reason I never let anybody know my political leanings. They find out after the election. I am the silent majority.
