As Twitchy reported the other day, actress and Democrat activist Alyssa Milano tweeted the other day, “The red MAGA hat is the new white hood,” and her followers agreed, adding that, “You show up anywhere is a MAGA hat you know what you are doing…. you want it, you got it.”
In other words, you’re a Klansman if you wear a MAGA hat — a take not unlike that by Noah Berlatsky over at NBC News, who couldn’t distinguish a red MAGA cap from a swastika.
It’s been said by the Washington Post that “the Trump Internet pounced” on the Covington story and a writer from the Guardian agreed, saying conservative media created a “parallel reality” about the Covington students that made them out to be heroes rather than pariahs.
It’s obvious: it’s not “the Trump internet” that has pounced but leftists who apparently didn’t watch the entire video of the incident and don’t seem to mind fantasies about throwing the Covington boys headfirst into a woodchipper or shooting them on sight or boarding them up in their school and setting it on fire — so here’s Milano to add some kindling.
There’s a concerted movement to make sure Trump supporters are ashamed to wear hats that say Make America Great Again. The Left is triggered by the sight of them and wants them gone.
Milano expanded on her tweet in an op-ed published by The Wrap, but before we get into that, we’d like to ask her and Berlatsky is she thinks these people are Klan members:

They know what they’re doing.
But anyway, onto Milano’s op-ed:
Still, some things in that video cannot be disputed–no matter what angle or how extended the cut is. These boys, who attend a religious school, were there on a school trip protesting against a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. Several of these boys were wearing red MAGA hats, a hat that has become synonymous with white nationalism and racism. Several were doing a “tomahawk chop.” Several were laughing.
When I saw that video, I saw boys flaunting their entitlement and displaying toxic masculinity. It seemed to me like they were reflecting the white nationalism and racism that the hats on their heads have come to represent.
Here’s the kind of response Milano received for her efforts:
I see you wearing a #MAGA hat around me I'm walking to the other side of the street. I'm avoiding your racist ass. I'm not going to serve you, or help you. You could be dying on the side of the road and I'd just keep walking. I want nothing to do with you #Maga swine https://t.co/gHjDDXXxZy

So much love and acceptance.
We’re perfectly fine if U.S. service members want their MAGA hats signed by the president, even if CNN probed to see if it was a disciplinary offense. (It wasn’t.) We’re also happy for people of color to wear MAGA hats. We’re kind of in love with freedom here and don’t feel we have to ban pro-abortion pussy hats or Ché Guevara T-shirts if that’s what people choose.
Sorry, we’re not letting the “MAGA hats are Nazi/Klan wear” people win. You’ve failed miserably at trying to confiscate citizens’ firearms and you sure as hell are getting the hats off our heads.
she is no better than #Trump. she is spewing lies and hate just like #POTUS. you do realize that african americans, and other non white persons wear the "#MAGA hat. making generalizations only hurts and divides the American people. https://t.co/t0nxZR1lLR

Last time I checked…blacks, Latinos and other people of color didn’t wear white hoods. I have personally met over 100 indivividuals of color who wear Red MAGA hats, including myself. Do you just close your eyes and pretend we don’t exist? ??? here’s my Latina sisters last wk pic.twitter.com/zYFNI3FWDs

Yep, just like the pussy-hat wearing contingent at the Women’s March pretended pro-life women’s groups that wanted to march didn’t exist.
What do you see, when you see a pussy hat? I see people who are complicit in the killing of unborn babies. https://t.co/nUySCQODy1

@Alyssa_Milano What an irresponsible, non progressive claim. I know your emotions got the best of you and I hope after you've had time to think about your accusations, you realize that. https://t.co/GddEXxRaOA

Wrong @Alyssa_Milano! MAGA is NOT about white supremacy it’s about proudly making our great country a priority when making policy decisions #EducateYourself #MAGA https://t.co/fEmvME0S7d

I will not even read it. You are a racist, you are a bully, harass. And entice violence against children. I hope that @Barnes_Law and the children sue you. You have to stop the hate and lies. You hurt Kavanaugh and these boys. Stop https://t.co/eRk6nDKiCA

Do you have a problem with what the black men were yelling at the boys? Was their behavior ok cause they didnt have MAGA Hats on?? https://t.co/pYRF6T4tcd

Alyssa, there are people who still wear actual white hoods. You ever think about going after them ( the actual KKK) instead of attacking everyone you dont agree with as a racist or bigot? Again MANY POC wear that hat, NONE are wearing white hoods, see the difference? https://t.co/l1wOZk0Klg

Sigh. I suspect she thinks McCarthyism was bad. Calling liberals communists inexcusable. But, Trump support is "synonymous with white nationalism and racism". https://t.co/2D13x3E8dP

Bipartisan point: if enough folks think the Republic cannot survive an electoral victory by the opposite party, the Republic is already dead.

Again, are the service members who brought their MAGA hats to be signed by the president Klansmen? Milano might want to have a word with the Department of Defense and make sure those racists are drummed out of the service dishonorably. Then let the brave leftist warriors of Antifa in their black hoodies have their way with them.
Any chance Milano will write an op-ed denouncing the violence and fascist ideology of those who wear black hoodies and kerchiefs over their faces?
