Allen West admits to 'flicking' mask of person who confronted him
The Hill ^ | 11/04/2021 | SARAKSHI RAI

Posted on 11/04/2021 9:59:48 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Allen West said that he removed the mask of a person who confronted him at Dallas-Fort Worth airport for not wearing a mask in public.

West said in a statement that he was "berated" at the DFW airport on Wednesday by a man who he called "a left-wing partisan," who "cursed and insulted" him for not wearing a mask.

He then responded by "flicking the individual's mask off."

However, federal regulations do require mask wearing at airports.


One is not required to wear a mask at an airport unless he is past TSA checkin. TX specifically forbids mask mandates on public property.

Be careful removing a liberal’s face diaper.

Might have a surprise like joe’s does.

So what? The left-wing activist Karen is not a police officer, and it’s not that person’s job to enforce the law or to harass people.

On the other hand, West flicking the mask off of left-wing activist Karen’s face was probably not wise.

West was ignoring the law and the other guy chose to be a jerk about it. Hard to see who has the high ground in this one.


Sounds like dim logic

West should have just declared, loudly, “I have the antibodies, what about you?”

Which law was he ignoring? Mask mandates are not laws. Laws are enacted by legislators and affirmed by governors in a specific legal process. All of the covid responses are not laws they are orders regulations or guidelines. Although they are enforced the same way as laws, I take exception to the statement that they are laws.

I want to destroy their unconstitutional and utterly destructive government mechanisms. I’d like to see as many saved for Christ as possible which right there can be a basic cure.

But in a few decades, great destruction is coming to those who don’t repent, not that we want that to happen really, but at some point soon it will and it will be a good thing.

But right now let’s destroy their weapons and hopefully save a few of them.

I admire his restraint. 22 Years in the Military gave him a personal discipline that I lack.

I know Allen personally and consider him a fine person.
