Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's 25-year-old niece was arrested on a handful of charges, including six counts of battery, after causing a scene on a Spirit Airlines flight departing from Louis Armstrong International Airport on Thanksgiving Day, the Times-Picayune reported.

Before the plane's departure for New Jersey, Shannon Epstein reportedly made passengers uncomfortable after asking a family she perceived to be Latino if they were "smuggling cocaine," Capt. Jason Rivarde of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office told the Times-Picayune.

After employees requested she be removed from the flight, Epstein resisted and began struggling with deputies, the Times-Picayune reported.

Six deputies were injured, including one who was bit by Epstein. Another deputy was kicked in the groin, the outlet reported.

“All the while, Epstein shouted that the deputies were going to lose their jobs or end up in jail, boasting that she was related to powerful people and that her uncle is a friend of former President Donald Trump”

She ought not to have said that. Now all she needs is to come before a liberal judge and she’ll be locked up for life.

Nothing will happen to her.

Krispy Kream will put her in his campaign as head of minority out reach - it makes no difference - he knows he is not going anywhere and his “campaign” will just be a way to con rich NeverTrump ash holes into giving him money.

How drunk was she?

She was departing New Orleans. Pretty good odds she was boozed up.

“...the Covid beach closings (Except for the Chris Christie family.)”

That was before Covid, Christie wasn’t Gov when Covid hit, Murphy was (and is).

The beach closings were due to a government shutdown. But, yes, you are correct Christie made full use of the beach. Turns out there’s an official beach residence, which I don’t think too many people knew about.

There’s a lot of funny memes out there, but I don’t know how to post things like that. If I did, I would, because some are hilarious. Try and find the one with AOC!

Waiting for the links to videos that, surely, the other passengers took of Shannon going bonkers.

That is how the story is sold, but is it really newsworthy that Christies niece is out of control? Is that really important?

While this is a terrible incident, I’d not blame Chris Christie.

One is not responsible for the behavior of an adult niece. I don’t care who you are.

Not in the real world of course.

But most “news” these days is just sensationalism. Even on our side. Look at Breitbart.

You have to be mentally prepared before embarking on a journey with them. ;-)
