Now I know the guy in the photo above SURE DOES look like he's wearing a mask, but according to reports and video he was booted off the plane.
Why?
For apparently not wearing a mask.
Now the cynical people out there will question whether it was due to the "Trump 2020" facemask you can actually see him wearing in this photo.
But that's probably just baseless conspiracy theory stuff!
I'm sure of it.
I'm sure this man was legitimately kicked off the plane because he was a blatant scofflaw, a man just looking to cause trouble and refusing to follow and semblance of societal norms!
The man damn near could have crashed the plane and killed everyone on it if he wasn't removed!
But for the cynics out there, we report….you decide!
Watch this:
And Part 2 here:
Fox News confirmed the story:
A Black man wearing a “Trump 2020” mask was kicked off a Southwest Airlines after lowering it to eat a snack, a video appears to show.
The passenger — who was also sporting a “Black Voices for Trump” hat — is seen talking to a crew member while holding a bag of mixed nuts and wearing a face mask under his chin.
“Tell us the policy that says he cannot eat with his mask off?” a woman filming the video can be heard asking in the footage shared by SV News. “It’s the hat and the mask — it’s not the eating.”
A second video then shows the man leaving the Tuesday morning Tampa-to-Dallas flight.
The incident — which Southwest said came after the man repeatedly refused to wear a mask — was soon tweeted by Donald Trump Jr., who bashed the airline.
“WTF??? This is disgusting. I’ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone lowers their masks to eat and drink. I did it on a southwest flight earlier this week,” he wrote.
But a rep for Southwest Airlines insists the ejection came after multiple employees asked him to wear a face covering, according to the Washington Examiner.

But a rep for Southwest Airlines insists the ejection came after multiple employees asked him to wear a face covering, according to the Washington Examiner.
“Our reports indicate that a Customer traveling on Flight 2632, with scheduled service from Tampa to Dallas, was asked repeatedly by more than one employee at different times to wear a face mask. The customer did not comply with our crew’s multiple verbal requests — including while boarding the flight before seated,” the company rep said.
He was removed from the flight and placed on another one, the rep said.
