On Friday night, a gay bar in Indianapolis was the scene of a heated exchange between Donald Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats and bar staff who say they abused them.

The bar staff threw them out.

“A group of individuals visited Chatterbox and intentionally misgendered and harassed a Chatterbox employee, resulting in them being asked to leave by our staff,” bar management posted to Instagram over the weekend. “They then continued verbally assaulting patrons and staff, threatened our establishment, and returned to record a video which has now been posted on multiple social media platforms.”

The video was recorded and posted to Facebook by Indianapolis resident Elise Hensley, who told News 8 that she’d visited the popular jazz bar several times, but this time, she and her friends wore MAGA hats.

In Hensley’s telling, “We went up to the bar and before we could even get a word out or order a drink, he just looked at me and said, ‘No,’” Hensley said. “I said, ‘Excuse me?’ He said, ‘Absolutely not.’ He said, ‘Your hat. You need to leave right now.’”

After getting ejected, Hensley returned, phone in hand, to confront the bar’s employees.

“I have a question,” Hensley told a bartender in the video. 

“No, no, we’re not answering questions,” they responded. “Get out of the bar.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re a Trump supporter.”

“I know, but don’t you guys want our money?”

“No. Actually, we don’t. Get out of my bar right now.”

A patron interjected: “You’re not welcome!”

“I’m not f**king around,” the bartender continued. “Get out of my bar.”

“Are you serious?” asked Hensley.

“I’m dead serious. Out.”

“Because I’m wearing a Trump hat.”

“Yes.”

“That’s wild.”

“I don’t care. Get out,” the bartender demanded again.

“We can call the police or you can just leave,” a colleague added.

“You know this is discrimination, right?” said Hensley.

Laughter erupted.

“Boo hoo! Boo-f**king-hoo” the bartender exclaimed. “Get out of my bar.”

A patron still laughing at Hensley’s claim added, “That’s funny.”

Hensley’s post earned tens of thousands of likes and was shared across right-wing media, including by Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R).

Beckwith, a pastor and self-described Christian nationalist, has said public school students in Indiana are taught “gay” and “oral sex” and are “indoctrinated with Marxist ideology.”

Bar management was unrepentant about throwing the MAGA fans out.

“The Chatterbox is home to a diverse group of staff and patrons,” their post read. “We do not tolerate dehumanizing or disrespectful language or symbolism in our establishment. We have a right by law to refuse service to anyone who disrupts our business. We look forward to continue being a home for people who love music and appreciate our community.”

“I wore that hat because I do love our President of the United States,” Hensley said Sunday, oblivious — intentionally or not — to Trump’s views about the people she was confronting.

“He is our president. I do appreciate that and I don’t think I find anything wrong with me wanting to wear a Trump hat because he is our president.”

Hensley also attempted to defend herself by saying one of her friends with her at the bar that night was Black: “They probably have every right to kick me out,” she told News 8. “If you don’t want me at your bar, that is what it is. But also, the man that was with me was an African American male. He was wearing a Trump hat.”
