Passengers 'removed from Heathrow plane after fight over Trump MAGA cap'
SKY News ^ | October 30, 2024 | By Claire Gilbody Dickerson

Two women were reportedly removed from a plane at Heathrow Airport when a fight broke out over a Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap.

According to The Sun, the American passengers started arguing when one asked the other to remove the red hat - worn by supporters of Donald Trump - as they waited to board the British Airways (BA) flight in Terminal 5.

The woman wearing the cap refused, at which point punches were exchanged and the pair were later escorted off the flight, the newspaper said.

The Metropolitan Police told Sky News that officers at the airport were called to an incident shortly after 12.45pm on Monday.

"A woman in her 40s and a woman in her 60s made counter allegations of affray," the force said.

The row caused the flight bound for Texas to take off two hours late, The Sun reported.

BA said in a statement to Sky News: "We apologised to our customers for the delay and got them on the way as quickly as possible."

People are on edge. I’ll be glad when this election cycle is over (although who knows when it will be “over”?).

If the Trump supporter is guilty of wearing a hat and of defending herself when punched by a Leftist, then I don’t know why both women has to be removed. If the Leftist is making a scene and throwing punches, remove her and leave her victim alone.

I’ve been wanting to punch someone with a Walz/Harriz hat or T-shirt but I can’t find anybody wearing that “garbage.”

The Leftist made a counter claim of affray, so the cops arrested both. Only the Leftist SHOULD be charged, but this is Londonistan, so anything is possible.

After all...a ‘MAGA hat’ is only worn by garbage Nazi’s. So it’s perfectly natural, and justified, to attack them.

They’re trained like AI bots. Media has blood on their hands.

Leftists can’t control themselves. They operate purely on emotion. They cannot stand to see someone exercising their freedom of speech, freedom of association or freedom of beating the crap out of them for denying the other two................

There is a demonic hatred over Donald Trump in this nation. The vile left can’t stand that he is a decent human being that just wants what is best for this country, because his decency sheds light on their inner ugliness!

Maybe the English don’t know, in the states, it’s almost always going to be the Democrat who is acting out with obvious intolerance. Some Dems have become like Muslim Taliban, so compulsive and violent is their intolerance.

Same here. Feels like it has been going on for years. Seems like we -- and by that I mean society in general -- don't discuss issues or principles anymore. It's all just about which candidate scores the most points.

If Trump wins, I'm curious what the reaction will be when all the predictions of a fascist state fall flat. Probably "it would have been Nazi Germany except we were too vigilant!"

One issue that I hope Trump addresses -- which he largely punted on last time -- are cultural issues in the military. That crap needs to stop yesterday. It's one reason I would have preferred a different candidate, but hopefully Trump will appoint the right people.

How this went down:

LEFTIST KAREN: (yelling with red face, bug eyes, spittled lips, a foot away while poking index finger in face) HOW CAN YOU WEAR A HAT LIKE THAT AND SUPPORT HITLER WHO WANTS TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND CAUSE WOMEN TO DIE BY USING COAT HANGERS TO ABORT BECAUSE HE OUTLAWED ABORTION! TAKE THAT MAGA HAT OFF!

TRUMP SUPPORTER: No.

LEFTIST KAREN: (slugs her in the face)

What are some proper responses when someone asks you to remove your MAGA hat?

It’s been there all along. They chased down people wearing Trump clothes in 2016 & 2020. In fact, there was one incident that involved two adult females that berated a little boy, stole his cap and would not return it to him.

They moved to that long ago with their funeral-rally T shirts, Hillary’s purple “resistance” accessories, the crocheted pink pussy hats and the vagina costumes.

No, they’ll call perfectly normal presidential actions “fascist.” They don’t care at all about reality. They will certainly still try to gaslight and scare their blind followers that they are living in a fascist state even when they are freer and more successful than ever. They’ll do it to as a form of obstruction against Trump changing anything and as a way of maintaining control over their followers through a manipulative, paranoid discourse.
