Trump supporter kicked off Southwest Airlines flight after ‘repeatedly’ lowering his mask

A Trump supporter was kicked off a Southwest flight after he “repeatedly” lowered his mask, according to the carrier. Video of the unnamed man, who was wearing a “Trump 2020” mask and “Black Voices for Trump” hat, was shared on social media. The footage shows a member of airport staff requesting that he get off the plane, while the passenger can be seen with his mask pulled underneath his chin. “Right now, you’re not going on this airplane,” the employee says. The woman recording the video seems to suggest that the man only lowered his mask to eat a snack. She can be heard asking, “Can you tell me the policy that prevents him from taking his mask off while he’s eating please?” She repeats: “Please show me the policy that says he cannot eat with his mask off?” The woman claimed the male passenger was being discriminated against because of his political affiliations, saying: “It’s the hat and the mask, it’s not the eating.” Donald Trump Jr picked up on the story, retweeting the video alongside the caption: “WTF??? This is disgusting. “I’ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone lowers their masks to eat and drink. I did it on a Southwest flight earlier this week.” However, the airline has stressed that the passenger was removed after repeatedly failing to comply with instructions from the crew.<br/>
