A pair of Trump supporters filmed themselves flouting the onboard mask policy on United Airlines earlier this week. One has already been banned from American Airlines for the same offense. Now it is time to ban these selfish halfwits from United Airlines.
Dear United, Please Ban These Selfish Fools Who Show Such Disdain For Others By Refusing To Abide By Your Rules
You might remember David Harris, Jr. the man who lied to flight attendants on American Airlines claiming he had a medical condition so he could not wear a mask (even though he posted a picture on his own social media wearing one days earlier). He was banned and I tore into him as Exhibit A of the type of hypocrisy that undermines conservatives of conscience.
It’s one thing to question the efficacy of masks (on very shaky scientific grounds). It’s quite another to disrespect the right of a business to require them whilst onboard. Absent a federal mandate, United Airlines has the prerogative to set its own mask policy, taking into account its own motives for the wellbeing of others and the pursuit of an environment that encourages the greatest number of passengers to fly.
I’ve discussed this at great length here and won’t do so again…
Now Harris is back, this time on United Airlines. He was flying with Jillian Anderson, another “conservative” Trump supporter and the two decided to disregard United’s onboard mask policy on a recent United Express CRJ-700 flight.

Look at the gratuitous advertising and self-promotion in these tweets, even for My Pillow…
And this was clearly during boarding, so it’s not like they were eating or drinking.
Why Write About Jerks?
I realize an unseemly byproduct of writing about these two is that tens of thousands of more people might be exposed to their toxicity who otherwise would not be.
At the same time, selfish actors like this pose a risk to others, are a blight on our society, and deserve to be held accountable. So I’m calling them out by name and calling upon them to repent of their selfishness and greed.
A United spokesperson told me, “We’re looking into this incident.”
CONCLUSION
I’m not one who believes shelter-in-place is the only answer to the coronavirus. The problem is not commerce or gathering, but in how we do it. Social distancing, masks, and proper hygiene are key. Since summer, I have not been shy about traveling. But I’ve done so carefully. Wearing a mask on an airplane demonstrates love of neighbor and respect for authority. Those who refuse should be held accountable.

Where was your outrage when leftist agitators were rioting maskless for months? Yeah thought so. Or the outrage literally every flight when half the plane is eating or drinking with mask off for the majority bofvthe flight? This blog is becoming tiresome. You deserve more readers like debit. Get woke go broke.
Oh please. I’d write the same post about Biden supporters who pulled this stunt on an airplane. Stop covering for these disgraceful charlatans who undermine the conservative movement through their selfish hypocrisy.
They are terrorists putting safety of the plane in jeopardy. Shoot them dead.
By the way did you see trump supporters breaking down the doors of Oregon Capitol? Why have no trump supporters been choked to death? We already got the riots.
To blame Trump supporters is just as bad as an article that might have the headlines “Black Man stubbornly refuses to wear mask on United”. Harris is Black.
Instead, we should focus on their selfishness and stupidity. The trouble with much of the press is that they have gone overboard to add commentary to their news reports, like Trump’s BASELESS CLAIM…. We, the public, know when Trump is acting like an idiot and when the press is trying to brainwash us. Luckily, Matthew of Live and Let’s Fly is very good at reporting and doesn’t sink to that level.
We should ABSOLUTELY focus on their association with Trump and NOT JUST selfishness and stupidity.
I 100% recognize that the media editorializes and is often blind to its inherent bias. However, that’s not a new phenomenon, and it doesn’t make the following any less accurate or partisanship less dangerous. Things need to be called out when they happen.
With these protesters, there’s inexorably some degree of association with the Trump administration when:
1. A particular stance toward mask wearing is directly communicated by a far greater proportion of policymakers in one political party than the other.
2. The highest leaders of a political party tacitly approve messaging from those choosing to associate with their political party.
3. The protestors are literally photographed holding signs associating themselves with Trump.
Even a casual observer would be peering through some awfully rose-colored glasses if he/she fails to acknowledge that Trump’s own messaging has influenced the actions and political views of his supporters.
Is there a conservative ‘movement’? The current mob looks more like an alliance of Neanderthals, Luddites, zealots, shysters, grifters and nutters…we’re not talking Ayn Rand or even Ronald Reagan. These people are not part of a genuine conservative tradition/ethos/philosophy….Just fruitcake right…
LOL you are an absolute one-note joke – been well documented that any BLM protests/marches did not lead to any Covid increases (since, you know, generally they were good about masks).
Maybe look in the mirror at the party you worship…Trump & related rallies have been known superspreader events.
And yet people protesting the lockdowns outdoors before the BLM protests were vilified. How did social justice suddenly trump social distancing? The patent leftist bias of the public health establishment was galling to say the least. The hoax Trump spoke of was not about the virus itself, rather the Democrat media’s coverage of it. When will the DNC Pravda known as the New York Times acknowledge Congressman Swalwell’s dalliance with a Chinese spy? Even the Washington Post ran something on it. America-hating Marxists have infiltrated all of our institutions. Fatties love to blame white supremacy for everything. Who will you blame once we have a Harris-Biden administration with Joe Biden as President?
This is the America we live in…someone siding with BLM movements, marked by widespread looting / violence, because protesters allegedly at least wore masks and did not spread the virus. Who’s the one-note joke?
There is no proof it was BLM and not trump supporters embedded. Most CIA psyops and ex military are trump apologists because they vote Republican like lemmings., So not above doing things like this.
And since you have no problem stereotyping BLM based on some, few people that happened to be in street engaged in violence i have no problem stereotyping all WRM by a few that happen to be white supremacists. So in that context you deserved all that you got and more.
I actually reside in cities affected by the violence; you could have viewed the footage and still see postings online of the disruption. How many are “few”? Days of violence / looting across cities in the U.S. amounts to a few people? You need to either check your math or restrict yourself from making sweeping baseless assumptions.
I’m not sure either what you mean by getting what I “deserved”. Nobody deserves to be terrorized. No store owner deserved the looting. Unfortunately, people like you condone these actions.
Does that billonaire money feel good to take from these lizard people so you write propaganda to get people in divided over the flu. you litterally are making the every day people calling other everyday people without mask “terriost” and that they should be shot is the most pussy shit ive ever heard. wake up to the elite causing fake shit to happen to make us fear and work for their sorry asses for eternity.. scum…
WR2: Just to be clear, you see absolutely NO difference between people exercising their freedom of speech OUTDOORS, where others have ample opportunity to distance themselves as much as they prefer, and someone sitting 6 inches away from these folks’ faces for hours on end, with zero chance of removing themselves from that environment? GOT IT.
Ah. The whataboutery of the average Trumpette comes to the fore again.
PANDEMIC PARANOIA!!!!! is still going strong. Even though for the even relatively healthy, under-70 age group covid has always been less threatening than the seasonal flu. But the heck with the facts, we all must be outraged and panicked at whatever the MSM tells use to freak out about. smh/lol. The only question is, where are all you with advanced stages of TDS going to place all your MSM-dictated, hypocritical/faux outrage after Trump leaves the scene? Guess you’re going to have to wait for the MSM to tell you. lol
This has nothing to do with so-called “TDS”.
Question: do you support their actions onboard?
Nothing to see here, right brady?
Just a 9/11’s worth of COVID deaths every day.
Take your trash back to Parler, chump
Why do you hate America, fatty?
Nah. It’s you who hates America. Else you wouldn’t support the orange skinned dotard who has trampled all over the constitution you claim to love and respect.
I never voted for Trump, Does one have to be a Trump voted to oppose the Maoist madness taking over our institutions? Moderate Democrats can pretend to be reasonable, but they placate the progressives and accept too much of the radical irrationality they cry for. Witness the perpetual redefinition of commonplace words in an attempt to police language and thought. Sexual “preference” is horribly offensive and “prejudice + power = racism.” Black folx are powerless, so they can’t be racist! White supremacy is so powerful that only a superhero like Obama could defeat it to win the Presidency. Twice!

Hey dipsh!t – piss off you retrograde twat. Why not spend your time on Parler instead, seems like a fun circle jerk for your ilk.
Of course UA-TDS has to resort to name calling as he has nothing of substance to contribute to any discussion. Merry Christmas!
Don’t you have a Proud Boys rally to go to? That’s what people who believe in “cargo cults” do after all.
Someone who uses the username “cargocult” must be in one, right? That is infallible logic, fatty. Did you even know what a cargo cult was before last month? Always ad hominem, never reason.
If it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, and is racist – it’s probably a racist duck
What is racist about anything I have said? Do you actually believe the Great Society has succeeded? Facts and those who present them are denounced as racist when they are inconveniently true. Merry Christmas, America-hating fatty!
These grifters put the con in conservative.
Everyone should not think that 6 feet and a mask is enough. No, prevention as in not going out of your house (except back yard) is much more effective prevention.
Now is the time for all, young and old, to practice good habits before the South African variant comes to the U.S.
(UK has two cases of variant linked to South Africa …The variant has been causing mounting concern in South Africa, where health minister Zweli Mkhize warned that “young, previously healthy people are now becoming very sick”. See the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55428953)
Matthew, save yourself and Augustine! Kyle is a supplement and cannot replace the genuine Matthew in Live and Let’s Fly.
Mathew has decided that he needs to kowtow to the woke SJW crowd, and has just given those folks another opportunity to make fun of Trump and his supporters in the comments. (Am I allowed to use that word??? probably not but I don’t care) What you had better realize Mathew is that the thought is already being floated about that many of the travel restrictions and reductions will need to remain in-place after the virus has subsided, all in the name of climate change. Your blog and business model are going down.
I’m not kowtowing to anyone, particularly that crowd. Read between the lines of my words and maybe you’ll better understand my personal outrage…
Plus, I do this blog for fun, not for the money. Blog revenue is always appreciated, but not necessary.
jcil: And yet here you are, still reading it and still finding value in commenting on it. Thanks for the laugh!
@jcil – re: “…the thought is already being floated about that many of the travel restrictions and reductions will need to remain in-place after the virus has subsided, all in the name of climate change.”
Someone is triggering your anxieties and fears on Facebook or Parler to keep you engaged. Look beyond your personal feed to sources of information that have not been tailored using your online activity history to sustain your anger and engagement and you will find that there are not capable organized groups or entities mobilizing to take away your liberties.
Besides, nothing happens in America unless a someone can make a lot of money from it, travel is not going to get be restricted until someone can monetize restrictions in a way that generates more revenue than the travel would.
If you are a Trump supporter you are the following:
Brainless
Narcissistic (you have have to look that long word up)
Almost certainly racist
Uneducated
Unworldly
Soulless
Lacking in any empathy, decency or intelligence.
Just a complete waste of time, space and air.
In short you have no use to mankind.
Deplorables. In reality, Hillary was right. Just a little ahead of herself with a naming.
I love to see the nasty, miserable people commenting here, thinking that wearing the pointless talisman on your face makes any difference at all. I cut holes in my mask so I can breathe easier lol.
By not caring about others health you’re proving that you’re nasty and miserable. Nice try though
How much do you want to bet the Fox babe is banging him for his BBC?
Totally. Listen to the video he posted. Sounds like a cheap porn flick.
UA-NYC your mouthwash ain’t cutting it. It has been well documented that many of your BLM agitators moved around the county so their actual contribution to the spread of COVID is not as well documented as you would profess. Certainly some are on record as supporting rioting and looting which killed blacks and destroyed black businesses. I worship no party, especially not the party of the jackass that encouraged crowds of unmasked people failing to socially distance to take to the streets during a pandemic and find the death of David Dorn as symbolic as the death of George Floyd.
Keep on spreading alternative facts just like all the other Trump Sycophants.

I take issue not with outdoor protests but with the public health establishment’s blatant racist social justice advocacy. The “science” was never the issue. It was always about the radical social justice platform. Leftists never understood, much less cared about, the “science.” As for the BLM protests themselves, would you like a “mostly peaceful” one in your neighborhood? BLM is founded on lies, which you clearly swallowed whole. Neither Trayvon Martin nor Michael Brown was hunted down and executed by a white man. It’s remarkable how the media tried to turn a brown man in George Zimmerman into a white supremacist bogeyman. Also, Michael Brown was attacking Darren Wilson when he was shot. Even inveterate liar Eric Holder couldn’t make “hands up, don’t shoot” stick. The vast majority of black men who get shot by police are armed. Resisting arrest is a deadly habit whether you are black or not (if you didn’t vote for a Harris-Biden administration with Joe Biden as President, you ain’t).

Wow you truly are a racist. Unsurprising.
BLM, anti-racists and their allies are the actual racists. It is just like the Maoist left to accuse those who oppose them as immoral and racist. It’s a massive “I know you are, but what am I?” gaslighting campaign. The media actively tried to depict racist intent in George Zimmerman through deceptive editing of his 911 call. Michael Brown robbed a minority-owned store and then attacked a police officer. What is racist about pointing out these facts? Even the Washington Post’s data on police shootings show that shooting deaths of unarmed suspects, black or white, are exceedingly rare. Of course, when someone dies at the hands of the police, we only hear about it if the decedent is black. Racist much, fatty? You probably support the failed utopian socialist reparations program known as the Great Society. All it has done is rob Black folx of agency and equity by destroying families and communities. Mood affiliation is not valid argumentation, racist.
Just put them on the no-fly list as viral terroists, problem solved for all airlines.
A face mask cannot stop spread of a virus. This is a fact.
It does stop the say it don’t spray it types. It should be voluntary because we live in a Republic not callifate or nazi germany. I love to see idiots wearing them while driving and out exercising. LOL.
Where do you possibly get your facts on face masks? They are not our salvation, but they most certainly help.
OP Is bored because his parents don’t want him over for Christmas. United will rightfully ban these two and life will go on. Enjoy your canned meat and stale fruitcake for Christmas.
This was in reply to the OP of this article, not you TWA John.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Trumpo Dumbo supporters are whack and braindead. Their egos compensate for their small “pp’s” and bunch of selfish maniacs
Terrorists. Terrorists are the people who spread disease willingly. Domestic terrorists.
FYI that pic is from a United Express flight – see the CRJ-700 safety card. Not sure who has jurisdiction over rules enforcement on that aircraft – United or the operating carrier (like Skywest or Mesa or whomever that flight is being operated by). Just a side note… even though it’s operated for United by a third party.
I was on that flight.
She and her buddy took their masks off for five seconds for their pictures and immediately put it back on before the main cabin door even closed.
Too scared to actually leave their masks off.
Interesting. Thanks for the insight.
After all these remarks, I can only guess you might need something stronger than coffee. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and the family, and sincere hope for more robust travel in 2021…for all.
