Trump meets with student who got harrassed for wearing the MAGA hat

A teenager from South Portland, Maine, who was mocked by both students and teachers for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat got a private audience with the Republican nominee on Thursday.

Connor Mullen has had a rough year at school. Since he became an outspoken supporter of Trump, he’s received nothing but criticism.

“People were trying to silence me,” the 16 year-old said to the Portland Press Herald.

A member of the Maine Republican Party heard of his story and made arrangements with the Trump campaign for Mullen to join the GOP nominee on stage when he gave a speech in Portland.
