Ivanka Trump And Her Children Harassed By Man While Flying Coach

December 22, 2016

A man was kicked off of a JetBlue flight out of New York City on Thursday after he began verbally berating Ivanka Trump and her family, according to a TMZ report.

Trump was flying with her husband Jared Kushner, their three kids, and other family members when the man started screaming that her "father is ruining the country."

"Your father is ruining the country," he exclaimed according to TMZ. "Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private."

Fellow passengers told TMZ that Trump ignored the man and attempted to distract her children with crayons.

The man's husband, Matthew Lasner, was actively posting on social media throughout the altercation, writing that his husband was "chasing them down to harass them."

"Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial," he initially wrote. "My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil"

Once JetBlue kicked them off the flight, Lasner's story changed.

"Ivanka and Jared on our flight," he wrote. "My husband expressed displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane."

The tweets, and also Lasner's entire account, have now been deleted, but Justin Green of Axios took screenshots before they were removed.

In a statement, JetBlue says that they had the man and his husband put on "the next available flight."

"The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. If the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight. Our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight," said the airline.

Last month, a man on a Delta Airlines flight was caught on camera loudly asking whether there were any "Hillary bitches" on the flight. Delta banned him from flying on the airline for life.
