Kate Kretz said her aim was to attack hate speech.
The Facebook account of an artist who turns MAGA hats into hate symbols has been disabled for violating the social media site’s “community guidelines.”
— Kate Kretz May 14, 2019 “I have been ordering MAGA hats ... and then sewing them back together into traditional symbols of hatred,” Kretz wrote recently on Medium. “The works are meant to both call out wearers who claim the hats to be innocuous, and to sound the alarm that history is repeating itself.”
Kretz appealed the decision and reposted the photo with the caption: “This is not hate speech. This is an art piece addressing hate speech.”
