This is how the MAGA faithful will interpret the "mandate" that Trump claims to have won. They believe it gives them permission to act like this. Be prepared to see more pick-up trucks with Trump Flags flying from the back, not less.
I'm a 63 year old white women, and if I saw someone doing this I would be right in her face. I have no problem getting into someone's space who is a total asswipe. And I would shame the living crap out of her. Why do others stand by and do nothing?
Before Trump they kept their fascism to themselves. HE told them it's ok to be ugly stupid racist and now they are unleashed. Expect more of this in the future.
This is what T***p and his sewer clowns have unleashed on our country. We will never be able to put that genie back in the bottle -- but at least people stepped up and supported the family against that disgusting bi*ch! Revolting, but that's the US for you these days... 😡
I just posted this. I come from a family of adopted children. All different shades. We were in Maine and went to a mall and people started pointing at us. We pointed back at them and laughed loudly. It's all in the response.I have been responding to bigotry my entire life with humor or conversation
I was inspired by this video when I first saw it because I saw people standing up against bigotry. That is what we all can do and must do. It is not hard. You might feel anxious the first time and the second time, but keep at it. We are strong.
If you don't like riding transportation that allows anybody with the price of travel and reasonable manners, feel free to shell out for charter service ...
Unfortunately we are going to see more of this kind of crap from people who are feeling empowered now that we have elected the Bigot-in-Chief, so they are going to feel they can insult anyone they don't like because they think that 45-47 will protect them.
White is the only race that is defined by what it is not rather than what it is. I refuse to identify as it or be identified as it. I'm a Scouser German Scots-Irish Croat-American.
My grandmas were Scottish & Croat. My grandpas was Scouse-Irish & German. Not a drop of "WHITE" in me.
It’s so sad what the country has become. I have been afraid to be in public more than needed since 2016 and no yt took me seriously when I explained why. Now it’s normal and accepted and we are still supposed to pretend it isn’t happening?
I hope she really was arrested. It also come as a relief to see that the media isn’t trying to “protect” her by blurring her appearance. Let the entire world see her for who she is.
I have been becoming more aware of the term "Ugly American". It was coined by Europeans to describe our insistence at being treated special for who we are. I believe this has come home to roost and we are going to suffer the same attitude.
If you do not like the conditions in coach, or have the money for a better seat than consider it is your choice to be there. Sit down, suck it up and shut up. Otherwise buy a better ticket.
This makes me so sad and angry. The complete lack of give a f—kery and lack of shame she has is I think what shocks me most. I can’t believe people like this exist and are comfortable to show their intense hatred so boldly. God help this country
They are being told by their entire online and political establishment that this sort of behavior is now totally ok. Corporate America however, needs to maintain places where people of all persuasions can actually spend money - and it turns out this just isn't a good look in reality.

Let's see how she reacts when she's treated like the people she was horrible to have probably experienced at some point.
Human race cannot evolve further unless they hold themselves responsible for their words and deeds. Merely removing her doesn't solve the problem. There has to be severe consequences (not extreme). Otherwise the same pattern continues.
Think this will be a bottom for her? Probably only if she’s doesn’t quite remember it until she sees herself in living video glory on social media. Sober curious yet?
Like, not to be agist (I'm not young myself) but when she pulled out her phone with those crone talons next to her perfectly smooth lifted face I about lost it.
My heart goes out to Mr Taufiq's son. As a child I put up with xenophobia and bullying every day. It would have been nice if someone had done something on the plane and spared that child a traumatizing flight.
her type has felt oppressed since biden took office. They couldn't be as loud with their racism. Now that trump is back, they are enabled more than ever.
Trump is a direct result of Obama's presidency because the racists all freaked the fuck out that a Black man got two terms. Trump is their "revenge" for it.
Wow! They just feel entitled to push their racism. I’m glad I wasn’t on this bus. I’m so tired of the entitled racist BS. I’d remind her she was originally from another country too.
As a white man I am often subjected to the unfiltered opinions of racist whites who think I'm ideologically simpatico with them by virtue of my gender and skin color. They think this way and are open about it. They think they're safe. This is simply a deep societal infection boiling to the surface.
Remember these people were always here. They just weren't brave enough to act like this in public. It's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm waiting for the reports of police brutality and unabashed murder that will occur by emboldened right wingers with badges.
She should consider herself very fortunate that I was not on that bus. I would not have been nearly as passive as many of the passengers were. She needed to be immediately and repeatedly called out for her vileness.
Well done to the few people on that bus who helped this guy out. To those who didn't, maybe next time you'll do the right thing, now that you've seen what can be done. Nobody should have to put up with that crap.
I’m glad some other passengers intervened. But I would have preferred to read in the extensive coverage of this that EVERY other passenger stood up for the Taufiq family. What troglodytes this woman and her husband must be.
MAGA - You know all of that racisism, bigotry, and xenophobia that you have been sublimating all these years out of fear of social backlash, well, let it ALL HANG OUT, BABY. The majority of Americans have said they are ok with the President doing it and that means IT IS NOW ACCEPTABLE PUBLIC FARE.

Seriously, crying on reading/seeing this 😞
I hope the rest of that woman's days are as pleasant as she is. 😠
I just hope I could stay verbal in a situation like that. Probably could, a lifetime of conditioning, but still, at some point the line gets crossed.
American Airlines, great🫶🏼🫶🏼
I hope she's happy, the deplorable scumbag piece of shit.

She is for sure not WHITE.
WHITE SUPREMACY WHITE!
Not sure about any other airlines but at least she received some consequences.
But as for us on the bus, we believe.
Calling all cars! Calling all cars!
People like this woman (and worse) now hold all the levers of power.
Now, more than ever, we need Starfleet.

Reskeet to join the fleet.
She may have been drunk, sure. But, drunk doesn't make you a racist. It usually just reveals who you are underneath.
