Recently, a controversy emerged when a supporter of Donald Trump, Heather Mullins, alleged that she faced discrimination on an American Airlines flight due to her political beliefs. Mullins, who has been wearing her red “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat while flying for years without any issues, claimed that a flight attendant ignored her drink order during a first-class flight from Detroit to Philadelphia.
In a social media post, Mullins expressed surprise and disappointment, highlighting that she had received numerous positive interactions while wearing her MAGA hat in the past. However, on this particular occasion, she felt mistreated when the flight attendant allegedly skipped her while collecting drink orders in first class, stating, “No. I’ll be back for you.”
Mullins’ account of the incident sparked attention and debate, reflecting the polarization present in society regarding political beliefs. She attempted to file a complaint with the airline, eventually receiving an apology and assurance of an investigation into the matter. However, the airline has not released an official statement regarding the incident.
