This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

one more thing: it is absolutely moral and politically crucial to treat members of the national guard policing and intimidating your city as traitors. because it does not matter if they "want to be there," they are, and what they are doing is a betrayal of their oaths
