ROCHESTER – A southern Minnesota TV reporter who wore a "Make America Great Again" hat to a Trump rally he was covering has been fired.
James Bunner, who was a multimedia journalist for KTTC-TV in Austin, wore the hat Thursday while covering President Donald Trump's appearance in Rochester. On Thursday night, images of him wearing the hat began appearing on Twitter. News director Noel Sederstrom said the station does not allow staff to cover stories while wearing apparel from political campaigns. Sederstrom says Bunner was fired Friday.
