Mable tells ABC7 he immigrated to the U.S. from the West African nation of Togo in 2007. He went on to become an American citizen on Valentine's Day 2013. The native French speaker learned the English language after arriving in the U.S.
A longtime political independent, Mable says Donald Trump's presidential campaign led him to register as a Republican.
"He cares about the middle man," Mable said of Trump. "He is all about the nation. What's wrong with that?"
In an incredibly crowded 2016 Republican primary, Mable says he voted for Trump from the get-go. In fact, only a few days before Trump beat Hillary Clinton, Mable attended a rally in Loudoun County, Virginia, where he proudly wore his MAGA hat and purchased a blue Trump flag.
“I like everything that he does... Like, I came here legally. Why can’t all people come here legally then? I went through the right process, the proper channels and I’m here so why can’t they do the same thing?”
According to Mable, his MAGA hat wearing ways have caused people to curse at him, plus issue the middle finger, but until now, no one had resorted to physical violence.

The victim, an immigrant from Togo, says that when the men approached him, he told them he was entitled to his views and walked away. At that point, the suspects are accused of striking the man until he fell to the ground, telling him to take the hat off.
Then, the victim says, they tried to take his phone, took some of his other belongings and destroyed several items of value.
The men charged are Jovan Crawford, 27, and Scott Duncan Robertson, 25. Both are charged with second degree assault, robbery, attempted theft, conspiracy to commit robbery and malicious destruction of property. They could face up to 10 years in prison on those charges.
The victim tells ABC7 that he forgives his attackers, but hopes they become more tolerant of opposing viewpoints.
