Truly evil folks in the liberal media were sent into a bloodlust Saturday when an Associated Press report targeted an unnamed Southwest airline pilot who said goodbye to his disembarking passengers by ending his sign-off with “Let’s Go Brandon,” the anti-Biden slogan sweeping the nation. In an attempt to get fired, the AP reporter attempted to gain entry to his cockpit. He also accused CNN employees of accusing him baselessly of drug addiction.
“The pilot of a Southwest Southwest flight between Houston and Albuquerque signed his greetings over the public audio system on Friday morning. He used the phrase “Greetings from Southwest”,” wrote AP reporter Colleen Long in a Piece with pearl-clutching about the anti-Biden slogan’s popularity. She also purported there were “Some passengers may emit audible gasps.” It’s unclear if she was one of them.
Long turned to Twitter to admit that she had tried to get into the cockpit by force.
In defense of the airline, I also asked them to open locked cage pits. This probably sounds insane.

She even complained that sponsors were avoiding the NASCAR driver featured in the NBC Sports interview that launched the phrase (the censored version of “F*** Joe Biden). But if you thought Long’s reaction truly was “insane,” the folks at CNN required serious psychiatric help.
Former FBI Special Agent and CNN Analyst Asha Rangappa, Leftist Radical equated the pilot’s useSupport for ISIS by using the anti-Biden slogan. “As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say “Long live ISIS” before taking off. It is possible that the plane will be ground immediately, and then the pilot would be dismissed. The airline could issue an immediate statement.,” she tweeted.
As an experiment, I’d love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say “Long live ISIS” before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours

CNN White House correspondent John Harwood flung out an indignant tweet targeting the pilot’s employer, scoffing, “Seriously?”
CNN should spare us from their fake outrage over coded vulgarity. After all, they’re the network that tried to justify their use of “s***-hole”Nearly 200 times (195) were done in 24 hours, as former President Trump used the phrase to talk about third-world countries.
If all of that wasn’t bad enough, Harvard professor and CNN analyst, Juliette Kayyem accused the pilotShe was suspected of having personality disorders or being an addict to drugs. She called on Southwest to investigate the pilot because supposedly “He spoke of the possibility for anger management and substance abuse. It’s worth asking.”
Yes pilot conduct. His words reflect possibility of anger management or substance abuse. It is worth asking.

He was also recommended by her to the passengers:
If @SouthwestAir doesn’t do anything, every passenger on that flight has standing to file a complaint with the @FAANewsThey should. Southwest will be forced to defend or investigate him. Enjoy that. There is no room for error. Bright line rule. https://t.co/L7VlZWJ0SU

Kayyem went on to Terry Moran, ABC’s national correspondent. simply equating those who use the “Let’s go Brandon” chant to “little boys” making “farting noises,” and warned if people told them to stop they’ll just make “louder fart noises.” Kayyem doubled down on her smears against the pilot and Moran suggested “litigation” against him was an appropriate option:
Okay. If that’s the case—it’s an employer issue. You have many options for redressing the situation, including litigation, or bringing the employer to court.
What if you wanted to make it a major national topic? You’re feeding the beast. That’s not the way to kill it.

And seeing that Southwest wasn’t responding to her impotent rage and the story really only angering radical liberals, Kayyem took to threatening them. “This is that lull period of time when a company thinks they can hide it out, but it’s just a brewing storm. @SouthwestAir, find out what ails your pilot,” she demanded.
With all the smears and possible libel of the pilot, the liberal media proved they’re the ones in need of the mental checkup.
