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: Im gonna land, and then Im gonna get in the airport parking lot, and Im gonna wait for you, and then Im 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 cant 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.

(76,706 posts)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.

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