Alaska Senator Reinbold Harasses Flight Crew Over Mask Policy

Another day, another buffoon. As part of their standard "NO, U" response to everything they're now calling anyone who objects to their stupidity "Karen." Her media posts are visible at the source article. Paywall temporary lifted.

(November 16) Reinbold most recently made social media waves this past weekend when she made a public Facebook post bemoaning a passenger she referred to as "Karen." The passenger apparently expressed displeasure with Senator Reinbold's lack of mask-wearing on a recent Alaska Airlines flight, bringing it to the flight attendant's attention.

In Reinbold's post, she claimed her mask was "dumb, worthless" and "suffocating." She claimed that flight attendants on the Alaska Airlines flight were "overbearing."

The Alaska Senator also claims Alaska Airlines wanted her to wear a second mask over her first mask and that the flight attendants were "wrongly giving medical advise (sp) without a medical license."

Alaska Airlines responded to inquiry with the following statement:

"We are aware of the social media post from State Senator Lora Reinbold regarding her recent travel on Alaska Airlines...After being reminded onboard, the senator complied with these requirements and completed her journey."
