On the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Joe Biden made a surprise move in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the site of the heroic Flight 93 crash. The president, who was in town to honor the passengers who bravely fought back against hijackers, was met with an unexpected request from the crowd: to wear a Make America Great Again hat.
As Biden spoke about the importance of national unity, the attendees made their request clear: they wanted the president to don the iconic hat. Initially, Biden seemed hesitant, but ultimately, he relented and put on the hat. The crowd’s reaction was mixed, but one attendee’s comment stood out.
