After an image of a woman wearing an anti-Trump hat went viral, the photo was met with vitriol online and even led to threats against her life, reports say.

The 22-year-old Krystal Lake, who works at a Home Depot in Staten Island, told Staten Island Advance after a photo was taken of her at work wearing at hat that read "America Was Never Great," she awoke to a number of death threats and insults on social media Wednesday.

Lake, a Bernie Sanders support, said she decided to wear the hat after seeing coworkers wear pro-Trump pins at work, although Home Depot said it doesn't allow its employees to wear anything that expresses a political statement, the report says.

The hat is a play on words swipe at the likely Republican nominee's campaign slogan, "Make American Great Again." Donald Trump has not yet chimed in on Twitter.

Here are some of the more reserved responses on Twitter:
