‘America was never great’ cap lead to death threats

Krystal Lake, a Staten Island Home Depot worker, is a Sanders supporter. A customer must have snapped a photo and put it on social media.
She surmised that a photo of her wearing the hat had been taken by a customer. But she did not specifically see anyone snap a picture and heard no complaints from customers, co-workers or managers, describing Sunday as “just a regular day.”
That sense of normalcy was shattered on Wednesday, however. At first, she said, she was unaware of how much attention she was getting. But in short order, Ms. Lake said, she was bombarded with negative comments, including death threats, on social media…
“They were actually threatening to kill me over a hat,” she said on Thursday. “I couldn’t believe it. I was calling my best friend and I was like, ‘How is this happening? It’s just a hat.’ ”
Ms. Lake said she did not take the threats seriously, attributing them to Internet trolls.
