Well, you could have just been sarcastic...
In all seriousness though, that sounds like a volunteer problem and not a FIRST problem, as others above have said.
That being said, wearing political clothing at comps is a little sketchy in general IMO, because competitions are a professional setting where you represent your team. But if your team is ok with it, as long as it's not blatantly offensive there's no point in making it an issue.

Perhaps the volunteer that the OP mentioned felt the same way about what the OP was wearing.
