During President Trump’s time in office, liberals saw nothing wrong with banners that read ‘f*ck Trump’ but conservatives adopt the harmless less-vulgar ‘Let’s go Brandon’ and suddenly it’s terrorism? At least, that’s how the kook at CNN sees it.
Host Asha Rangappa compared Biden critics to terrorists adding that “let’s go Brandon” is similar to “Long live ISIS.”
The comment that started the controversy:
Rangappa’s ridiculous comparison:
“As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say “Long live ISIS” before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours.”
Sen Ted Cruz came back at CNN Analyst:
“.@cnn is deranged. And no, as a factual matter, supporting genocidal religious zealots is not the same as disagreeing with the current President.”
Southwest tweeted a response to the outrage over the video:
“The Southwest Team takes pride in providing a welcoming, comfortable, safe, and respectful environment for the millions of customers who fly with us each year. Southwest does not condone Employees sharing their personal political opinions while on the job serving our Customers, and one Employee’s individual perspective should not be interpreted as the viewpoint of Southwest and its collective 54,000 Employees.
Southwest is conducting an internal investigation into the recently reported event and will address the situation directly with any Employee involved while continuing to
remind all Employees that public expression of personal opinions while on duty is unacceptable. Southwest does not tolerate any behavior that encourages divisiveness, as it does not reflect the Southwest Hospitality and inclusiveness for which we are known and strive to provide each day on every flight.”
I don’t know who is in charge of dishing out Rangappa’s medication, assuming she’s on something for her obvious mental health issues, but they should be fired. It’s apparent that she’s missed more than a few doses to pull this comment out of her hat. WHat do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
