Passengers clap as ‘Airline Karen’ kicked off flight for refusing to wear face mask 4

A recent video posted on Twitter shows a plane full of people clapping as a woman is asked to leave an American Airlines flight for not wearing appropriate face covering.

In the footage, the woman is seen removing her bags from the overhead bins as passengers are seated and ready to depart. All passengers and crew in the cabin appear to have face coverings, apart from the one woman asked to leave the plane.

“Start the clap,” a person in the video is heard saying as the woman collected her belongings and prepared to disembark the flight. The plane erupted into applause as the woman left the aircraft.

“You can clap all you want,” the woman is heard saying on the video as she leaves.

Stories of people refusing to wear masks in public places seem to be making headlines frequently.  President Trump himself did a 180 on the issue and for weeks he was seen in public without a mask before he finally posted a tweet of himself wearing a mask agreeing it was “Patriotic to wear a face mask”

We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance. There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President! pic.twitter.com/iQOd1whktN
