An African immigrant who was knocked to the ground and beaten by two men for wearing a Make America Great Again hat says he forgives his alleged attackers and will continue showing support for President Trump.

Police said Atsu Nable was out walking in his neighborhood in Germantown, Maryland on Saturday when two men approached and demanded that he remove the MAGA hat.

Jovan Crawford, 27, of Germantown, and Scott Duncan Roberson, 25, of Washington D.C., have since been arrested and charged with beating the victim.

Nable told told Fox & Friends on Wednesday that the incident would not deter him from wearing the MAGA hat.

Atsu Nable said he asked his alleged assailants 'why are you doing this?' and said they told him, 'No, the hat'

'I'm very proud of wearing the hat,' Nable said.

Nable, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from Togo in 2007, also said he forgives the two men charged with attacking him.

'I have a message for love – that Jesus said in the Bible that you must love your neighbor, so I still love them,' he said.

'I think whatever happened to me that day should not happen to anybody. I forgive them. I'm ready to make peace with them if I could see them again.'

Police said the incident unfolded when Crawford and Roberson approached Nable on Saturday and began 'harassing' him and asking why he was wearing the MAGA hat.

Nable responded that he was 'entitled to his own views' and attempted to walk away.

'I said 'this is not your problem – it doesn't matter – it's a personal reason,' Nable said.

He said that when he tried to walk away, he was punched in the back of his head.

'I was like, 'Why are you doing this?',' Nable said. 'They said, 'No, the hat,' and they started punching me on my head.'
