Trump's white supremacist dinner date put on No Fly List after threatening to strangle flight attend

Trump's white supremacist dinner date put on No Fly List after threatening to strangle flight attendant

Nick Fuentes, the white supremacist influencer who infamously dined with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last year, has claimed that he was placed on the government's No Fly List as an act of political persecution.

However, documents obtained by The Daily Beast tell a different story: Namely, Fuentes threatened to strangle a flight attendant who asked him to comply with the airline's face mask rules.

In fact, court documents filed by the Transport Security Administration cite Fuentes' own boasts about threatening the flight attendant on his podcast as corroboration for their employees' claims about his behavior.

"“Let me tell you: I’m gonna land, and then I’m gonna get in the airport parking lot, and I’m gonna wait for you, and then I’m gonna put a mask over your face, your mouth and nose,” Fuentes recounted on his show about his interactions with the airline employee. "You still need to be wearing the mask even if you can’t breathe."

While it's good to know the little nazi fucker will have a harder time getting around to spread his hate... I really wonder why he was not arrested for making a threat like this.

We don’t know who the airline employee is. That sounds like a direct threat of violence to me.

Terrorism is for political ends to influence the government or the powers that be.

There's an obvious political intent to everything Fuentes says.
Besides, I'm not convinced that the laws that make terroristic intent an aggrevating circumstance require the target to be a governmental entity.
We've seen articles right here in GD where that charge is added when the victim is just a private cituzen.

Fuentes says men having sex with women is "gay," and the only truly "heterosexual" position is to be an asexual incel.

got married and had a couple kids. Turns out there's a Ilse Koch (the beast of Buchenwald) for every little nazi.

Yup, a real genius example of the master race

TSA and ICE compete for America's most hated government agency. But they got it right this time.
