A passenger on a JFK to San Francisco flight, Mark Schef, who happened to be sitting in front of Ivanka Trump and her family, witnessed the sequence that led to a passenger being removed from the plane. The flight started with a slight delay and appeared routine until another passenger noticed the family directly behind him.
Schef recalled that when he saw the family, he said out loud, "oh my god," not yelling, but clearly disturbed. His hands began shaking. He didn’t recognize Ivanka at first, thinking she appeared to be “a nice young mom flying with her family.” He later realized the person behind him was Ivanka Trump and her husband, along with their children and others.
What Schef didn’t know at the outset was that the upset passenger’s husband had allegedly tweeted that his husband was chasing down the couple to harass them. The disturbing comments included, “they've ruined the country. Now they've ruined our flight.”
Schef observed that the passenger behind him did not accost Trump, but was clearly agitated. He heard Trump tell security that she didn’t want to make this a thing. JetBlue officials decided to remove the upset passenger from the flight, a move Schef said he understood.
Reflecting on the incident, Schef stated he didn’t vote for Trump, but maintained that Ivanka Trump deserved to have a quiet flight and that no one on the plane deserved to be insulted.
