Man Banned from Flight Because He Refused to Wear a Face Mask

Title (Dublin Core)

Man Banned from Flight Because He Refused to Wear a Face Mask

Description (Dublin Core)

A "mask war" developed in June 2020. Many states mandated that people must wear masks at all times to protect people around you in case you are infected with COVID-19. Some people took that as an assault on their civil liberties, refused to put a mask on, and made an issue out of it. Wearing a mask became politicized, with many Trump supporters and conservatives coming out against mask-wearing.
Here is one conservative activist purposely defying the mask rule on American Airlines. He got kicked off the flight, which is what he seems to have wanted to happen.
