Members of the Fordham University College Republicans were asked to leave an on-campus coffee shop because their MAGA hats apparently violated the shop’s “safe space policy.â€
In a video obtained by Campus Reform, the self-identified president of Rodrigue’s Coffee House, a coffee shop run by a student club, is seen telling the College Republicans they have five minutes to get out of the coffee shop.
“I am protecting my customers,†the president said.
“We are your customers, we bought something,†a CR member replied.
“I don’t want people like you supporting this club… no one here wants people like you supporting our club,†the president retorted. “I am giving you five minutes.â€
A student then asked for a refund, to which the president responded, “[y]ou had some coffee… do not try to outsmart me.â€
“You are threatening the integrity of our club. This is a community standard—you are wearing hats that completely violate safe space policy,†she said. “You have to take it off or you have to go.â€
One of the students then asked the president to explain what she thinks the MAGA hat stands for, to which she replied, shouting: “Fascism, Nazis! You have three minutes.â€
