The other person was the professors driver. They/he were returning from a trip to China.
As a poster from Roger Simons site said. “He was sitting in First Class for hours and hours, and we should know what that means.
That means he was getting an endless supply of pardon the expression booze for hour after hour,
Some sleep in their big Fist Class Seats.
Some drink the endless supply of booze.
What did Gates do on his way home as a black man in America?
Did he sleep or did he drink?”
I’d like to know what that communist was doing in China?
