'Appalling': Airline bans U.S. flag on face masks, but is apparently fine with 'Black Lives Matter' 'Clearly a decision made by one of your gate agents based on their own politics'

U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., is demanding that Frontier Airlines officials explain why a gate agent banned an air marshal from wearing an American flag-themed mask on a flight.

The agent at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta claimed other passengers would find his mask "offensive," according to Collins.

"This infringement of a law enforcement officer's right to free speech was clearly a decision made by one of your gate agents based on their own politics," he wrote. "This is made even more clear by the fact that many passengers allowed to board the flight in this incident were permitted to wear political face masks, including many wearing ‘Black Lives Matter’ masks."

Wonder how they’d feel about my “F*ck You, Dr. Fauci” face mask?

WND does us no favors with their shoot from the hip reporting.

Thanks for that link!

Those black masks are so menacing. I prefer a mask with charming pastel flowers cross-stitched, with a big “F—K this mask!” on it.

Frontier Airlines.

Being an American-flagged airline, I’d bet there’s an American flag right there on the plane.

There are several that I’ve identified at Amazon that I’d like to have, but...

That’s means I’d have to wear a mask. /;-)

“That’s means I’d have to wear a mask. /;-)”

There is that! That would be a bridge too far.

"I’d bet there’s an American flag right there on the plane."

Behind the last window, just before the tail. Both sides of every plane.

Yup. That’s why whenever I travel, I simply dial up NET JETS and charter me a flight. Then again, I don’t travel any more so............................... :-)

I use my private jet, but right now I've loaned it to sleepy joe, so, it may not be real safe???

Antifa Mask

No. All patriotic ones and blasting masks.

[no-s]

a face mask with “1984” would be very apropos

“Maske Macht Frei...”

that’s what I write on mine...

They wouldn’t like my MAGA mask.

A friend told me that a worker at a local hospital “got in trouble” for wearing a MAGA mask. A co-worker complained. This is in a small very conservative town. My mask reads “Straight Outta Wuhan”.

My response to the "offended":

Ya, well your mindless liberalism offends me, so we're even.

[SkyDancer]

Checking this out - doesn’t seem real.

[SkyDancer]

I think it was a singular incident and not the policy of Frontier.

[hanamizu]

I got the impression that the MAGA-mask wearer wasn’t confronted directly, rather was reported to a supervisor/HR. Creating a ‘hostile workplace’ kind of nonsense.

[JimRed]

Was it out of respect for the rule that the American Flag should not be used as an article of clothing? If so, no harm, no foul.

My mask reads “Straight Outta Wuhan”.

I want one that simply says "Thanks, China".
