Trump supporter says American Airlines flight attendant skipped her drink order over MAGA hat
An avid Donald Trump supporter claims an American Airlines flight attendant intentionally ignored her while taking drink orders because of her red MAGA hat.
Heather Mullins, an independent journalist, accused the airline worker aboard her first-class trip from Detroit to Philadelphia of discriminating against her over her allegiance to the former president.
“I’ve worn my MAGA hat every time I’ve flown for the last four years and got thousands of fist bumps. NEVER got any hate,” Mullins wrote on X on Sunday.
“Well, there’s a first time for everything. I just had the flight attendant for @AmericanAir SKIP ME in first class when asking everyone if they wanted a drink!!” she claimed.

Mullins said that the flight attendant took everyone’s order first and dismissed her when the Trump fan questioned why she was being skipped over.
“No. I’ll be back for you,” the flight attendant allegedly told Mullins.
“I was the last one to get served,” Mullins claimed. “I’m honestly in shock. It’s sad that just happened in America.
“But so grateful for all the kind people around me saying how awful it was she did that to me,” Mullins added. “She’s an anomaly. Most people are not like that.”

Mullins said she tried to file a complaint to the airline about the alleged incident but was ultimately told she had to go online to submit her report.
Mullins later decided to share a picture of the flight attendant on social media and claimed American Airlines then called her to apologize and confirm that her complaint was being reviewed.
“I won’t know what actions they take on her. It could be a “don’t do this again”, or if she has a history of issues, she could be let go.,” Mullins said. “But I won’t be notified.”
American Airlines told The Post it was notified about the incident and working to resolve it.
“American Airlines strives to provide a positive and welcoming experience to everyone who travels with us,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “We are investigating the matter, including reaching out to the customer to learn more about her experience.”
