BALTIMORE (WJZ/AP) — Four fans who unfurled a banner in a baseball stadium supporting President Donald Trump’s reelection were escorted out of a Baltimore Orioles game by police and stadium officials.
A photo taken by Nathan Ruiz at the game shows the fans hanging the red, white and blue banner with the words “Keep America Great!” and “Trump 2020″ during the eighth inning at Camden Yards.
There are some people hanging a “Trump 2020” sign over the second deck in Oriole Park. Very little effort has seemingly been made to remove it despite a small “Take it down” chant breaking out. pic.twitter.com/zciuu1RRkw

The banner remained up for less than 10 minutes as other fans shouted “take it down!”

Camden Yards’ policy says no banners can be hung in the stadium to keep from obstructing views, and that banners can be confiscated if their message is commercial, political or “in bad taste.”
