Ivanka Trump just had a bumpy start to her Xmas holiday ... an out-of-control passenger on her flight began verbally berating her and "jeering" at her 3 kids.

Ivanka was on a JetBlue flight leaving JFK Thursday morning with her family when a passenger started screaming, "Your father is ruining the country." The guy went on, "Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private." The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade.

A passenger on the flight tells TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons.

JetBlue personnel escorted the unruly passenger off the flight. As he was removed he screamed, "You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!"

BTW ... Ivanka, her family and bunch of cousins were all in coach.

8:35 AM PT -- JetBlue just released a statement, saying, "The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. 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. Our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight."

7:48 AM PT -- The husband of the unruly passenger tweeted an hour before the plane took off, "Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them."

You can't choose your parents, hopefully the child he was carrying won't remember any of this

Doesn't matter if the kid remembers it or not, sounds like he will be raised by an intolerant pair of assholes that will no doubt instill those values in their kid.

Why did they accommodate the asshole?

I agree with him on one point: why is Ivanka and family flying jet blue in coach? Aren't they under secret service protection?

Maybe the private plane was being washed

[Muddy]

Those two bone smoking SJWs shouldnt have been let back on the airline.

Look at it this way, with assholes like the ones in the OP that went after her, her and her family is in a no-win situation. If they fly private, it's just the fucking rich assholes and their privilege, and if they fly commercial it's ZOMG! why are they on my flight?!?! I hate them!

Aren't they under secret service protection?

Secret Service only extends to immediate household not extended family.

[Godfather]

Assholes.

There's really no need to dissect it any further is there... who cares where/why/how she was traveling. Leave them alone. Write a fucking letter to your Senator if you have a problem with politics, but if you harass people on a flight you're a flat out asshole.

Progressives have a habit of shrieking about “harassment” any time one of their own is met with criticism. They define any sort of disagreement as abuse, but have no problem lobbing their own attacks at anyone whose views are not in alignment with their own. And when a man does it, it’s called “mansplaining.”

A passenger named Dan Goldstein accosted Ivanka Trump on a JetBlue flight yesterday, screaming at her about her father, Donald Trump. Ivanka was on the flight with her cousins, husband, and three children. His husband, Matthew Lasner, tweeted some of the proceedings—stating plainly that the man had chased down Ivanka’s family to harass them. Lasner would later claim (in contradiction to his initial tweets) that his husband had “expressed displeasure in a calm tone,” causing them to be removed from the flight.

The same social justice warriors who defended YouTube prankster Adam Saleh’s “Muslims on a Plane” hoax and called for the boycott of Delta Airlines are nowhere to be seen or heard, remaining silent about the shameful abuse of Ivanka. But some, like the Guardian columnist Jessica Valenti, are defending Lasner and his partner’s actions, going as far as to describe the yelling as “criticism.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I don&#39;t know what this person said to her and in what tone - &amp; obvs I&#39;m not down with scaring someone&#39;s kids - but she&#39;s not a child.</p>&mdash; Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) <a href="https://twitter.com/JessicaValenti/status/812013270727086080">December 22, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Valenti says that Ivanka Trump should expect harassment because of her role in Donald Trump’s administration.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Also, it&#39;s infantilizing &amp; sexist to argue that Ivanka should be shielded from public criticism.</p>&mdash; Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) <a href="https://twitter.com/JessicaValenti/status/812014660895600641">December 22, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Again, if someone was screaming up in her kids&#39; faces that is absolute shit. But let&#39;s not treat grown women like children.</p>&mdash; Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) <a href="https://twitter.com/JessicaValenti/status/812017888496324609">December 22, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It is especially ironic for someone like Jessica Valenti to defend public harassment, given how often she writes about it. She previously expressed her exasperation with the comments readers leave on her articles, calling for the end of online comments sections.

“My own exhaustion with comments these days has less to do with explicit harassment—which, at places like the Guardian, is swiftly taken care of (Thank you, moderators!),” wrote Valenti. “Rather, it’s the never-ending stream of derision that women, people of color and other marginalized communities endure; the constant insistence that you or what you write is stupid or that your platform is undeserved.”

Much like Valenti, Matthew Lasner maintains a double standard on civic behavior. Lasner, who is an associate professor at Hunter College, had previously shamed a college high school student for wearing an old Reagan/Bush ’84 shirt. He said that it made him “seriously ill.”

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s hate speech,” declared Lasner.

Other notable progressives on Twitter have echoed Valenti’s views, stating that it is okay to harass Ivanka because of the actions of her father—as if she deserves it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ivanka Trump is trying to dismantle your country for personal fame and fortune. Yell at her all you&#39;d like.</p>&mdash; Tressie Mc (@tressiemcphd) <a href="https://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/812040233827074049">December 22, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Jamelle Bouie, Slate’s chief political correspondent, similarly downplayed the abuse Ivanka received. Bouie previously described Trump voters as racists who “don’t deserve your empathy.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sure, don&#39;t yell at people I guess. But I&#39;m not inclined to get too upset that someone yelled at a policymaker.</p>&mdash; Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie) <a href="https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/812051400326713344">December 22, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Had this happened to Chelsea Clinton, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. Hypocrisy, thy name is progressive.
