The husband of the Jet Blue passenger who was kicked off a flight Thursday morning seemingly confirmed on Twitter that the man set out to “harass” Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.
Hunter College professor Matthew Lasner tweeted (and then deleted) the following.
banality
(“Banality of evil” is a term coined by journalist Hannah Arendt to refer to the cold, uncaring nature that allowed Nazi official Adolf Eichmann to oversee the Holocaust.)
Shortly afterward, Lasner then claimed that his husband actually only spoke in a “calm tone.” That tweet was also deleted.

TMZ reports that the Lasner’s husband was “out-of-control.” They also posted an image of Ivanka on the plane that came from Lasner’s Twitter, but appears to have been deleted as well.

In a statement, Jet Blue defended kicking the man off the flight and seemed to suggest that his tone may have not been all that “calm.”

Girly man.

I cannot explain that. The image I posted (or intended to post) is the top one in this article.
“Husband?” Not really. “Male paramour” is the accurate term.
Could be. She’s wearing little, if any, makeup and the boy in the row in front of her looks a lot like Baron Trump. Also, I’ve had the experience of being very differently dressed than at work when I ran into one of the partners in the law firm I was employed by. He did not recognize me. A woman who changes her makeup, or doesn’t wear it, is often even harder to recognize.
“Ivanka just before @JetBlue kicked us off our flight when a flight attendant overheard my husband expressing displeasure about flying w/Trumps.”
When I fly, I never either demand to see or expect to be shown the passenger manifest. If it’s for me to determine who is or is not going to fly with me, the plane must first belong to me. How stupid and entitled liberals are!
Several years ago, I once heard Trump brag that not only does she fly commercial, she also flies coach. “She has a very nice figure. She’s thin. She can fit in the back. Why should I pay hundreds of dollars more for a wider seat and only a slightly better sandwich?”
That jerk was Adam Smith. He’s still unemployed (unemployable) and yet convinced that he “stood up for something.”
