Last year, a vape shop worker who launched into an 'anti-Trump' rant before refusing to serve a customer who was wearing a MAGA hatwas
fired after the video went viral on social media.
Ian Furgeson entered thee Xhale City store in Tucker on Friday to purchase some items when he was faced with a barrage of abuse from the retail employee who demanded he leaves because of his MAGA hat.
As the liberal rant took more momentum, Furgeson took out his phone to capture the bizarre incident.
"I have just been asked to leave the store. He greeted me, that was nice. I did find the item that I wanted, and the next thing he said was he'd like me to leave," Furgeson explained.
The news comes a month after "MAGA Teen" Nicholas Sandmann was confronted by native activist Nathan Philips for wearing a MAGA hat which caused a worldwide media stir.
Sandmann's family are making moves toward suing the liberal media behind the smear campaign against the 16-year-old Covington Catholic School student and his classmates.
