A video of an alleged Amazon worker reportedly refusing to mail out former President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats has made its way across social media on Friday, sparking an investigation.
On Friday, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, user I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) shared a video of the alleged Amazon employee discussing how if someone orders a MAGA hat, she seemingly won’t be delivering them as she states, “You won’t be getting it on my…watch” while throwing the hat back in a box.
“Here is an Amazon employee who openly admits on camera that customers who ordered MAGA hats won’t receive their shipments ‘on her watch’ due to her TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome]. I wonder if @amazon is aware that their employees are not processing orders based on their political beliefs?” I Meme Therefore I Am wrote.
Newsweek was unable to independently verify the video. In an emailed statement to Newsweek on Friday evening, an Amazon spokesperson said an investigation of the incident is underway.
“This behavior is unacceptable. We’re currently investigating, and once we get more information, we’ll take appropriate action,” the company’s spokesperson added.
According to Amazon’s website, consumers can purchase MAGA hats from several different companies as most are available to be shipped through Amazon Prime’s policy.
Trump supporters are often seen wearing MAGA hats at the former president’s rallies. However, the hats have also often been seen as controversial as scholar and Washington Post columnist Matt Sears previously stressed that the merchandise denotes a very specific set of ideas.
“The entire sentiment of ‘Make America Great Again’ implies that there was a time when America was great and it’s not any longer…The obvious conclusion is hard to escape. It takes a certain kind of willful denial and willful ignorance to wear a MAGA hat and assume that you’re not conveying all those values and beliefs,” Sears told Salon in 2019.
However, Trump supporters have defended the use of the hats. More recently, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, was threatened with removal from Congress in March for donning the hat, which she refused to take off despite being urged to do so by the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I was like, ‘You can hold me out of here. Go ahead and try it, but I’m not going to take this hat off.’ And I told them, ‘I’m elected by my district, this is the People’s House, I will wear this hat, I will wear it here on the House floor because my district supports President Trump, support ‘Make America Great Again’ policies and support me wearing this hat,'” Greene told Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) at the time.
Amid this year’s presidential election, Trump and President Joe Biden are set to have their first debate on June 27 hosted by CNN at the network’s studio in Georgia, a critical battleground state. A second debate between the two is planned for September.

It takes a great country to win a world war, an even greater country to win two of them. For the overwhelming majority of American citizens, this nation has been great more than once. It was that very greatness that caused immigrants from other nations to want to come here in the late 19th century and into the 20th. We were doing well until we started importing more than we were exporting, and then the greatness began to fade. Mr. Sears seems to think that the wish to make this nation great again means we have to adopt a very specific set of ideas, but he is incorrect. All we have to do is adopt one idea, that this nation can stand on its two feet again, and be self-sufficient without depending on a known Communist nation for our necessities, or on middle-east nations who have declared their hatred of us for fuel.
You are right! I could feel sorry for that person because she is only partly responsible for her thinking Our government, schools and laws have all played a roll in this persons ignorance It is not her place to tell me or anyone else what they can buy or not buy It is her place to do the job Amazon hired her to do. Other wise Amazon needs to fire her. I am a paying customer and expect my merchandise I ordered to be delivered .If Amazon can not deliver then I will take my business else where
GET RID OF AMAZON, FIRE ANYONE THAT TRYS TO STOP DELIVERY OF DONALD TRUMP HATS. NO ONE TELLS AMERICANS WHO, WHAT, OR WHERE WE Want.

Make her send out EVERY order of hats, even if it’s in the thousands! make her life a llving hell, so we all can sit back and laugh and watch her squirm. Shows how really stupid this alien is.
