An unruly passenger had to be removed from a JetBlue flight leaving New York on Thursday after he began loudly harassing Ivanka Trump and her young children, according to TMZ and posts on social media.
Ivanka, the daughter of President-elect Donald Trump, was flying in coach with her husband, Jared Kushner, her children and several cousins when an unidentified man began yelling at her.
“Your father is ruining the country,” the man said, according to TMZ. “Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private.”
The man was reportedly holding a young child in his arms during the tirade. Trump tried distracting her kids during the incident.
When JetBlue security escorted the man off the plane, he reportedly complained they were “kicking me off for expressing my opinion.”
"The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly," JetBlue said in a statement. "If the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight. In this instance, our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight."

Boorish queer carrying a child he abuses. Sheesh! To top it off he is a “professor”...abusing his students. He should be civilly sued by Ivanka for assault on her and on her children.
Someone should have cold cocked him like that 78-year-old in the arena. I’m sure Trump would have payed his legal bills. Flight attendants are useless. Air marshalls have their jobs to worry about in this politically correct age. A good lesson for his child.
Rich people are rich because they don’t waste money, hello
They used to do that to Palin all the time.
It is time for all the Trumps to accept SS protection...Wrong. Private Security would be much better than AA SS.
I forget that she had the US taxpayers and then the Clinton Foundation for her travel needs the past 30 years...
That's what the homo asked. Wannabe man shows his girlie man what a big, brave dude he is by harassing a woman and her three kids. I'd have told the POS that it's none of his business, and can fly whatever way I choose. Had she chosen to fly First Class, the libs would have bitched about that too.
In this case, it was the gerbil in his pants.
I doubt she flies public airlines.
I don’t believe she’s eligible for Secret Service protection.
Some may slam me for this but why in the world did she not fly in first class? I always fly first class and my pocket book is no where near as deep as Ivanka’s! I know she was trying to be humble but with the amount of jackasses out there, it’s her and her kid’s best option.
Rush just said that the SS guys were there but thought that airplane security was doing a good job.
As I see it, the `progression’ of homosexuality in America:
“Don’t let the American Psychiatric Association call homosexuality a mental disorder!” http://behaviorismandmentalhealth.com/2011/10/08/homosexuality-the-mental-illness-that-went-away/
Um, all right.
“Don’t jail us!” Buggery and sodomy used to be a crime, a capital crime in some cases.
OK.
“Call us gays, not homosexuals or queers!”
Whatever.
“All we want is toleration!”
Sure. Just stay out of our faces.
“Now we demand approval, acceptance and condonation.
And we’re queer again.”
Huh?
So thanks to guys like this one they’ve managed to dial-back homosexuality to a mental disorder.
Not sure: A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed to TIME that Ivanka is the first of Trump’s children to get protection, but referred questions about why the protection was granted to the Trump campaign.
She was given protection a long time ago- May.
JetBlue has handled this incident very badly. They will lose many passangers and revenue for not banning these two idiots for life in traveling on JetBlue. If i were accosted on a JetBlue flight while minding my own business, I would sue the attacker(s) and the Jet Blue airline!!! I travel on JetBlue from Florida to NYC....but, no more after today!!!
I take it the removal wasn’t mid-flight.
She did have SS with her.
JetBlue released a statement on Thursday morning saying: ‘The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. If the crew determines that a customer is causing a conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight.’
It was then noted that Lasner and Goldsten were placed on the next available flight.
Members of Secret Service were on the flight with the family, but did not intervene and instead chose to let the airline handle the issue.
There was a third account of what happened as well from Marc Scheff, the man who was sat in front of Ivanka and with his young son and seemed to be minding his own business when Lasner snapped his photo.
He wrote: ‘He didn’t accost her directly. When he got on and saw her, sitting behind me, he said “oh my god. This is a nightmare” and was visibly shaking.
‘He said “they ruin the country now they ruin our flight!” (Context: Boarding and therefore the flight was delayed because they needed to get on first through some other way)
‘He did not yell. He was also not what I would describe as calm. Agitated maybe. His husband behind him was very calm. His son is adorable and sharply dressed.
‘When the JetBlue staff went back to speak to the man I overheard Ivanka say to them “I don’t want to make this a thing.” My assessment is that she was happy to let the man take his seat. Security made a different call.’
Scheff later wrote: ‘Honestly, if I was her security I would have made the same call. I don’t _think_ the man was capable of violence, sure. But I would worry that he would leave his seat or cause a scene in some way.
‘And his husband had tweeted that he planned on doing that. So, again you know my politics, but I would have made the same call here.’
the man and his ‘husband’ are now contacting the press.
Bloomberg is reporting this as a misunderstanding between the man and Ivanka. They said that they had no comment from the Trump transition team.
This is so crazy - i really did not understand that the press is so misleading on everything Trump.
And yet when protestors with signs were 20 feet or more from Hillary the SS rousted them. Hope Mr. Trump keeps his private gusrds around all his family members.
