’Tis the season to spread joy and cheer — unless you’re a liberal still bitter about the election.
Thursday, Ivanka Trump and her family were accosted by Dan Goldstein,
a lawyer from Brooklyn, who yelled at her that her father, who has yet
to take office, was “ruining the country.” It wasn’t a spontaneous
outburst. Goldstein’s husband had tweeted from the JetBlue terminal at
JFK Airport that Goldstein was “chasing” Ivanka and her family to
“harass” them.
“Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private,” Goldstein
reportedly shouted when he saw them on the plane and allegedly engaged
with her children as well. Goldstein and his husband were removed from the plane, with Goldstein complaining that he was merely “expressing his opinion.”
The last few years, we’ve seen the creation of safe spaces, though
they’re usually for protecting fragile leftists from disagreeable
thoughts and arguments. Lunatic men badgering women on planes in front
of their kids apparently is fair play — if that mother is related to a
Republican you don’t like.
The irony, of course, is that Ivanka Trump is someone liberals should
be thankful to have in the incoming president’s inner circle. She’s
certainly no partisan right-winger, and in fact has thus far during the
transition been taking point on issues like climate change (she even met
with Al Gore) and paid family leave. Why the rage at her?
