These days when just wearing a red Make America Great Again hat while walking down the street can get you sucker punched by the Alt-Left, it came as a pleasant surprise to liberal activist Michael Skolnik that he was not abused by Trump supporters for wearing an Obama t-shirt in a small West Texas town on Saturday.

Skolnik, who was a 2012 President Barack Obama re-election campaign surrogate, wrote he was in an unnamed small Texas town that went 80 percent for President Donald Trump to attend a friend’s wedding and wore the shirt to honor the friend who had worked for Obama.

Skolnik commented that he was treated nicely wherever he went.

Walking around a very small Texas town that voted 80% for Trump with my Obama t-shirt on this morning has been quite the experience. In the restaurant I had breakfast at one of the cooks came out from the kitchen and came over and said, “I just wanted to see your shirt.” TRENDING: Obama Statement on Ginsburg Demands GOP Senate Honors Her Dying 'Instructions' and Put Off Vote on Supreme Court Nominee Until New President Sworn In In the gun store that I wanted to check out, the nice lady behind the counter told me when I walked in that “I looked like was lost.” It’s a very beautiful town + the people are very nice. Here for a wedding of a friend who worked for Obama, so I wore t-shirt to represent.”

In response to criticsm from Fox News Radio commentator Todd Starnes, Skolnik said he was in West Texas, nowhere near the Hurricane Harvey flood zone, and that he was not “trolling” by wearing the Obama shirt around town.

It is in West Texas. Not even close to the area impacted by the hurricane. And I am not a member of the media. I am a businessman. — Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) September 2, 2017

And I am here for a wedding. I am not trolling a town. I am staying here. But carry on with your Fox News made up stories… 🙄 — Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) September 2, 2017

According to Wikipedia, Skolnik sits on the board of the Trayvon Martin Foundation.
