"Seriously, he’s wearing a pin. This is hate?"
"This is appalling. You have attacked & outed the info of a young black man & flight attendant for…donning a pin of the flag of a state recognized by 140 countries."
"You found the guy on IG? The fact that you searched for him and found him is lowkey creepy."
"This is literally D I S G U S T I N G. You are harassing a man who did nothing wrong and didn’t even say a word about Israel. I’m reporting."
