Wait, isn't Cindy McCain the mother of a daughter who is a different ethnicity than her? Why didn't this beer Karen arrest herself?
Isn't she the largest distributor of Bud Light in the country? What did Cindy know Mulvaney and when did she know it?
It was a plane, so didn’t the mother have to have some paperwork getting on?
I smell a hoax.
It’s the SoundOfFreedom effect.

Airline employees see every race, religion, etc all day long. I don’t believe what the mother is saying at all.
***people who seem “nervous.”***
Ummm, that’s me when I fly, because it feels like I’m in a cattle car. I’m on someone else’s schedule, and they seem to have lots of rules about what you can and can’t bring on a flight.
Oh, and the bomb-sniffing German Shepherd makes me feel very comfortable, too. /s
Biracial families are ubiquitous now. No one bats an eye anymore.
Either someone at SW is loony or there’s more to this story.
The incident was not an occasion of false claims by someone.
I saw the mom on TV this moring and saw the video of her and her daughter being confronted by the false charges as the deboarded the plane; the daughter was crying the whole time. The mom is white and her daughter is biracial. They did not have seats ticketed together. With the flight attendants knowledge the mom asked ofher passengers if they could make some accomodation so she and her daughter could sit together.
Someone on the flight staff reported that they suspected the mom of being part of human trafficking. They did not even check the flight manifest showing mom and daughter have the last name.
It was not a “racial” incident, just a stupid incident.

My guess is such mistakes happen a lot these days, but bad outcomes (or publicity) are rare.
My other (less charitable) guess is this story has its roots in a desire for publicity.
Frivolous lawsuit. So the cops stop you for one minute to make sure that everything is ok. Gee, the horror of it! And if the daughter started crying at the cops asking a couple of questions, maybe she has other issues that should be addressed.
Something similar happened to my nephew and his wife. They vacationed in Mexico. Nephew is pale white, his wife is dark black, and they have a bi-racial son who is more on the white side. The black wife was crossing the border into the USA and Mexican authorities detained her, accusing her of child trafficking the son because he looked nothing like her. Took her awhile to produce paperwork that proved he was her son.
