Several interns on Capitol Hill for a program geared toward young black Republicans said an Uber driver refused to give them a ride together in Washington this week because two of them were carrying pro-Trump Make America Great Again hats.

The incident unfolded Tuesday, according to the interns, when they piled into an Uber to head to a monthly gathering of supporters of the president at the Trump International Hotel in Washington.

In interviews with Fox News, three of the interns said the driver picked them up at George Washington University. But after the driver asked them about the famous pro-Trump red hats, he told the interns he couldn't give them a ride, they said.

The interns, who have been working for Republican lawmakers this summer, said they were forced to get out of the Uber car.

The company responded: We aim to provide a reliable service to everyone who uses Uber. We have reached out to both the rider and the driver, and continue to look into this.

One of the interns who had a Trump hat, 20-year-old Matthew Handy of Kentucky, recalled being ticked off.

Im a black male in America that supports and voted for Donald Trump... Were supposed to be a country that accepts everybody for who they are, a melting pot, but the moment I say or do something that doesnt coincide with their political beliefs, Im the bad guy, said Handy, who is interning for Illinois GOP Rep. Mike Bost.

Handy said hes complained to Uber but hasnt heard anything back other than an automatic response.

We take this very seriously, the ride-sharing service tweeted back to Handy after he went public on Twitter.

Another passenger in the car, 33-year-old Adria Barrington of Tallahassee, who is interning for Arizona GOP Rep. David Schweikert, said she found the experience frightening.

Denying me service -- because I know we were denied service based on our political thoughts and views -- will not change my political thoughts and beliefs, Barrington said. Denying me service is only going to make me fight harder to prove to everyone that it is conceivable to be an African American and a conservative.


What a time to be alive.

If they had the hats on before they got in I would have cancelled the ride and drove off. Told Uber I had the bubble guts or some shit.

My word telling a black man who and what he is to believe in. Be careful your racism is showing.
