Striking supporters of President Donald Trump have allegedly disrupted several flights to and from Washington DC in the past week due to protests that turned violent, threatening a pilot to ‘throw people away’ and air hostess banning rioting participants claimed.
An American Airlines pilot warned passengers that he would land the plane and kick off the ousted Trump supporters when they returned to Phoenix on Wednesday from the riot in Capitol Hill. “It’s going to be a four-and-a-half hour flight to Phoenix. We’ll put this plane down in the middle of Kansas and drop people off. I don’t care,” the pilot told rioting Trump supporters. “We’ll do it. If that’s necessary, you have to behave yourself.”
According to the video recorded on the Arizona flight, people could hear them saying the speaker’s speaker and shouting back, “Are you behaving? What, are we in America?” Several passengers from the flight also stroll Republican Senator Lindsey Graham as a ‘piece of shit ***’ at Reagan National Airport near DC before taking off. One Trump supporter asked to know why Graham did not check and overthrow the victory of President Joe Biden, as security guided him through the terminals.
Arizona resident Cliff Mansley, a passenger on the Phoenix flight from Washington, told ABC-15 he did not like several travelers putting Graham at the airport before their flight departed.
“He deserves our respect and he was very respectful of me,” Mansley said before explaining how poorly prepared the Capitol Hill police were for the protest action on Wednesday that eventually left five people dead. ‘I asked a police officer if I could cross the barrier on the ground, and he shrugged and said’ why not? “They were completely unprepared. It seemed almost too easy for the crazy people who climbed to the top, “Mansley told the local TV station in Arizona.
A passenger on a third, separate flight from Indianapolis to Washington, told Newsweek his sold-out plane was filled with Trump supporters who repeatedly denied requests from flight attendants to keep their masks over their faces. Tony Mace, a resident and passenger in the DC area aboard AA Flight 4886, said Saturday that “none” of the dozens of Trump supporters on the way to Wednesday’s protests wore a mask in the airport terminal did not wear.
Mace noted that most were “decorated in Trump equipment or military clothing” and that three pro-Trump passengers were allowed to board the plane without a mask.
“None of them were sitting there wearing masks. Not one Indy airport worker asked them to wear one,” Mace said. “I felt bad for the air hostesses because the Trump supporters kept their masks on the run and the air hostesses kept telling them to put them on again.”
Graham was not the only Republican senator to be randomly accepted this week. On a flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, DC, Utah Senator Mitt Romney was beaten by Trump supporters. The video recorded on the flight shows several people shouting ‘traitors’ from several rows backwards on Romney.

“We want to know what you’re related to Burisma and Joe Biden,” one woman shouted at Romney, singing a few lines in front of several passengers. “Your voters want to know why you are going to certify the Electoral College!”
Newsweek addressed American Airlines for any additional remarks about Trump’s interruptions at airports and on board flights across the country.
The air travel problems raised by the Trump protesters resonated when the Association of Flight Dendants-CWA, the country’s largest air hostess union, issued a statement urging all U.S. airlines to prevent participants in riots to future flights jump. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Dickson’s administrator, issued a statement on Saturday promising to pursue a “strong enforcement action” with fines ranging from fines to imprisonment. “
Dickson said the FAA monitors all commercial passenger flights and has mechanisms in place for crew members to identify any number of safety and security issues that may arise during the flight. perform their most important safety functions. ‘
Trump himself has been urging his most ardent supporters for weeks to stage “wild” protests this past Wednesday in the country’s capital. This came about when a group of 12 GOP senators unsuccessfully tried to impede a final score of Biden’s Electoral College’s 306-232 victory over Trump.
