Far-right troll gets banned from a flight because he refused to follow rules. |
The troll claims he was once a progressive but chose to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party and progressive policies. He is often associated with the alt-right movement. He is friends with far-white LGBTQ agitators like Scott Pressler, Tammy Bruce and Milo Yiannopoulos.
The agitator is outraged that he was forced off a flight because he refused to wear a facial mask.
The past 24 hrs has proven conclusively to me what I already knew. I have been inundated with death threats, attacks on social media & email. None of these ppl have asked if I there’s a reason why I couldn’t wear the mask. They are just another arm of the left’s rageful mob.— Brandon Straka (@BrandonStraka) June 18, 2020
It’s fascinating how the ppl saying “It’s dangerous for him to not wear a mask” have been cheering tens of thousands of maskless BLM rioters gathering for weeks; & saying “private company, don’t like it then leave”- cheer on destroying cake bakers who exercise private co policy— Brandon Straka (@BrandonStraka) June 17, 2020
So, to any super sleuths out there looking for their GOTCHA! moment, this tweet was written BEFORE the first flight attendant approached me about the mask. It was a JOKE regarding the general announcement they were making.— Brandon Straka (@BrandonStraka) June 17, 2020
And it’s still funny.
The troll complains that he was on a flight from New York to Dallas when he was told that he must war facial protection that is compulsory under the new airline rule.
He started a Periscope broadcast and streamed it through Twitter.
In a statement, American Airlines said that they are aware of the incident.
"After [the passenger] refused to comply with the instructions provided by the flight crew, our team members asked him to deplane. He deplaned and the flight departed the gate four minutes late at 12:34pm ET."

Now he's on a list of a passengers who could be permanently banned for not complying to the company's policies. Since the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing crisis in the country, the United States has seen a massive uptick in confirmed cases and deaths.
There are over 4 million cases (2.5 by government confirmation). There are over 140,000 dead (119,000 by government confirmation). We have undercounted thousands and some have died without even being confirmed to have this.
Straka and many like him believe that wearing a mask infringes on their right to be free. I see it and I've seen friends, co-workers and people across my community not adhere to the guidelines imposed by the CDC, FDA and U.S Health and Human Services.
The troll who appears on Fox News as a contributor. He is often spotted around college campuses trying to encourage people to leave the Democratic Party and join Trump's carnival of bigotry.
Here's the map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
