A man was reportedly kicked off an Allegiant Airlines flight this week because he’d written ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ on his mask.
The incident was originally recorded yesterday by Dgotch on Tiktok and they noted in the video that this was about the passenger having the phrase on his mask.
It was then picked up by LibsofTiktok on Twitter and here we are.
Watch:
Even those I can’t see the phrase written on his mask, the flight official kicking him off the plane does refer to a message he’d written on his mask. He protests about his rights, but it does no good. She tells him to either change his mask or get off the plane, claiming the message violates an FAA regulation.
I did a little research and this has happened several times over the last few months. Here’s one incident with Spirit Airlines from the end of January:

The whole thing is absurd. I can’t prove there’s a double standard here without more research, but the guy wearing this mask makes the point that someone could wear a BLM mask and it would be just fine.

There’s no doubt he’s exactly right, despite how many of us find that to be offensive.
‘Let’s Go Brandon’ does mean F*** Joe Biden, but it only means that because of a stupid reporter who claimed people were saying ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ when they were clearly saying ‘F*** Joe Biden’. And because of that people say it/wear it to mock both Biden and the media, who loves to give him a pass on everything.
