A participant in the ongoing Truckers for Freedom convoy in Washington, D.C. was removed from a Delta Airlines flight after the airline staff got triggered by his “F*ck Biden” sweatshirt.
Jauneil Brooks was threatened with being put on the no-fly list, falsely told there is a clothing policy, and then accused of not wearing a face mask. All of these issues culminated in him having to find other arrangements for his trip back home.
Footage of the incident was uploaded to social media by Brooks, where he revealed that the Delta Airline staff ordered him to remove his hoodie, which had the slogan “F*ck Biden” on it, threatened to ground the entire plane if he refused, and threatened to place him on a ‘no fly list,’
“If you don’t come on the jet bridge, and flip your shirt outside in and out, right? So that word doesn’t show, I will have to deplane the whole aircraft,” one flight attendant can be heard saying.
She continued to berate him while adding a threat of adding his name being added to the no-fly list. “I’m sorry about that sir, but that is the policy, you cannot wear that,” she said.
“No, you’re making this inconvenient,” Brooks responded, adding: “because last time I checked, I live in the United States of America, with the First Amendment freedom of the press, freedom of speech, or freedom of religion, do I not?”
“Do I not have the freedom of the press, freedom of religion, or freedom of speech anymore in this country?” he asked the staff.
When Brook realized that the conversation was going nowhere, he decided to comply with the requests and take off the sweatshirt so that he could go home. But, when he sat back down, they began harassing him again – this time to pack up his things and get off the plane.
Apparently, removing his mask while taking off his hoodie was too much for the delicate Delta employees to handle, even if it was just for the quick moment.
“So I’m still getting kicked off the plane?” Brooks asked.
“Yeah, you’re not putting — wearing the mask,” the flight attendant responded.
“I literally just took off my hoodie,” Brooks said. “If you ask me nice, I will put back on the mask which I was doing as you came back up here.”
A man was kicked off a @Delta flight for wearing an F Biden sweater, even though he took it off. They claim it’s “delta policy” and threaten him with the no fly list.
I spoke to Delta and it turns out they don’t have a clothing policy and even told me I can wear an F Trump shirt pic.twitter.com/A8mruMxNpF

The Twitter account “Libs of Tik Tok” reached out to Delta Airlines asked about the policy that was mentioned in Brooks’ video and it turns out that no such policy that exists, according to Delta customer support.
“So technically I can wear a shirt that says ‘F Trump’?” Libs of TikTok asked.
In an interview with The Post Millennial, Brooks told them about his experience, saying that he is planning to sue the airline for their treatment of him during the incident:
“Yeah, it’s crazy how just the day before I was sitting in the room with Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Johnson about how our freedoms are being stripped away. And, you know, I guess it’s just the right timing, but I’m gonna fight for our freedom of speech, and companies can’t be taking advantage of American people anymore. Just because their pockets are huge,” said Brooks.
“But, no, we need to have our freedoms back from Republican to Democrat to liberal to, you know, whatever it is. Our freedoms are infringed. And I gotta make sure somebody learns a lesson, if I can make sure that that happens.”
Brooks also said that he will be suing Delta for the incident.
