Home Depot has banned a worker from wearing a hat emblazoned with the words 'America was never great' after legions of Donald Trump supporters complained.
Krystal Lake, 22, wore a white cap carrying the slogan to work at a Home Depot store in Staten Island, New York, this week.
A picture of her wearing the hat went viral and split Twitter and Facebook, with some calling her unpatriotic but others defending her right to free speech.
Miss Lake says she has received a barrage of racist abuse and death threats, but insists she will not stop wearing the cap.

'I feel [the 'America was never great' hat] offended a lot of people because a lot of Trump supporters live in Staten Island,' she said.
'Trump is very rash and in your face, but when someone else has a message against him, his supporters can't take the criticisms.'
