Ivanka trump accosted by passenger on jetblue flight

Ikari said:
It's not unheard of, back in the day people had said some horrible things about Chelsea Clinton, Bush's kids were attacked in the media, Obama's kids somewhat too.

Now that's no excuse, it's all low-brow. Got a problem with Trump, take it up with the man, not his kids. Dude was taken off the flight, so it was all resolved without great difficulty. At least the Secret Service was there in case things had gotten out of hand, but Jet Blue rectified it before that. That dude would NOT want to tango with the Secret Service.

Yes, I remember uncharitable comments about Any Carter and Chelsea Clinton and the Bush twins too. But everything I can think of were mere words. Here, Ivanka was actually accosted, and with her little kids right there.

I love how this man had his own kid in his arms while demanding to know why she wasn't flying on a private plane. Great parenting. :roll:

There were Secret Service on board (reported by ABC News and the Daily Mail), and they let the airline handle the situation.

What's interesting to me about is that the harasser went after Ivanka rather than her husband, bold, manly man that he is.

And "harass" is the correct word. In fact, the prof spouse who bragged an hour before the incident on Twitter about how his husband was trying to chase the Kushners down used it. The courageous crybully has now deleted his Twitter account, but not before his tweets were saved.

That tweet? "Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil"

Thanks for link. It clears up a lot of the misunderstandings and assumptions in the thread. I noticed some issues in the article.


“Your father is ruining the country,” the JetBlue passenger said to Trump, the entertainment news site reports.

Stupid person, Trump isn't the president yet.


“Why is she on our flight? She should be riding private,” the man, who was apparently holding his own kid in his arms, then exclaimed.

Why is it bad that she travels like a normal person?


As he was removed, the man reportedly yelled, “You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion?”

It isn't a 1st Amendment right to harass another person.

This guy needed a "back in the day" type of lesson in manners.

And harassment isn't protected under the FA anyways.

Ivanka Trump Accosted by Passenger on JetBlue Flight | TMZ.com
Ivanka Trump just had a bumpy start to her Xmas holiday ... an out-of-control passenger on her flight began verbally berating her and "jeering" at her 3 kids.
Ivanka was on a JetBlue flight leaving JFK Thursday morning with her family when a passenger started screaming, "Your father is ruining the country." The guy went on, "Why is she on our flight. She should be flying private." The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade.
A passenger on the flight tells TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons.
JetBlue personnel escorted the unruly passenger off the flight. As he was removed he screamed, "You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!"

If I'm out in the street walking around, I'll tell Trump or any public official my thoughts and feelings about them. Now don't get me wrong. I don't have the right to ask him what he is doing on the same street like that man did on the flight with Ivanka, but as long as I'm in public as well as civil and not in or on private property I sort of disagree with you--if you know what I mean. :shrug:

I'm sure that among some of his colleagues at Hunter College, Lasner will return a "darling" after the holiday break. What's funny is that an hour after his last tweet, he took down his Twitter account. Too late. His husband was "chasing down" the Kushners to "harass" them.

What gets me as a mom is Ivanka trying to distract her own little kids with their crayons while being verbally assaulted. I wonder too how scared this Goldstein guy's little kid was by his dad's drama. What self-important asshats.

As long as you aren't on private property, I agree with you too.

Hear it, and yes, people would - and should - loudly denounce that too. This idiot who unfairly went after Ivanka deserves whatever punishment he gets. Families are off limits.
