A Virginia man was fired last week after he refused to take off his “Trump 2020” hat during a meeting at work, he said.

Dave Sunderland, 55, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the human resources department said he violated a policy that bans shipyard workers from campaigning for a candidate at work. He said that he wasn’t campaigning for President Donald Trump but was merely wearing the hat.
