"An American Airlines flight carrying four members of Congress was forced to divert to Kansas City after a passenger became disruptive in midair and shouted, We live in a fascist state, as police escorted her from the aircraft. The flight, American Airlines 1218 from Phoenix to Washington, DC, had been in the air for more than two hours when it made an unscheduled landing on Monday evening."
"Law enforcement boarded the plane and removed the woman without further incident, according to passengers. Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) confirmed on X that he and three Republican colleagues from Arizona Reps. Eli Crane, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar were among those aboard and traveling to vote on a bill to end the record-breaking 43-day government shutdown. Stanton thanked Kansas City police for handling the situation professionally and without incident."
An American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Washington, DC diverted to Kansas City after a passenger became disruptive in midair and shouted, 'We live in a fascist state.' The flight, American Airlines 1218, had been airborne for more than two hours when it made the unscheduled landing. Law enforcement boarded and removed the woman without further incident. Rep. Greg Stanton confirmed that he and three Republican Arizona colleagues—Eli Crane, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar—were aboard and traveling to vote on a bill to end the 43-day government shutdown. Video shows the woman apologising before declaring the statement and carrying a bag reading 'F*ck Trump.' American Airlines said the diversion was due to a disruptive customer and the flight later re-departed for DCA, landing normally.
