A passenger was removed from a JetBlue Airways Corporation plane after verbally confronting President-elect’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. The incident took place at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Thursday and even though it has not been confirmed by any official source, it is largely believed that the incident did take place.
According to the details of the incident provided, Ivanka Trump was on her way to Hawaii for a vacation with her family when a man saw her on the flight and started addressing her loudly.
TMZ said the passenger told Ivanka Trump, “Your father is ruining our country,” then continued, “Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private.”
TMZ’s article was accompanied by a picture of a woman in an aircraft who strongly resembled Ivanka Trump.
After the confrontation, the airline crew escorted the man off the plane.
In an email, JetBlue confirmed that a passenger had been taken off the plane.
“The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly,” the airline said in response to questions about the alleged confrontation. “In this instance, our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight.”
When reached for comment, the Trump transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile it has been reported that president-elect Donald Trump and his family are spending the Christmas holidays at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
It has also been reported that a Twitter user by the name of Matthew Lasner, tweeted that Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were flying commercially and that his husband was going to confront them.
Lasner’s Twitter handle has since then, been taken off-line.
