A man wearing a Trump hat cuts the airport security line so he can be next to a woman demanding her six feet of space. The results are predictable as yelling ensues, during which the woman pulls her mask down to demand her “six feet of space!”
Two videos were shared to Reddit that show different angles of a brief encounter between two passengers standing in the security line at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. The first video shows a woman yelling at a man wearing a hat. In this video, she’s demanding that she get her “Mother******* six feet,” as she pulls her mask down to make her point clear. She asks the man who he thinks he talking to. His reply? “You, You, You!”
An alternate angle shows a slightly longer discussion between the two and reveals in more detail the hat the man is wearing. The Trump hat is, at first glance, merely interesting, but the original poster of the second video offered a clarifying comment when he posted his video on Reddit which adds a twist to the story:
Backstory: She was upset that travelers behind her in line we’re not giving her six feet of buffer space. Them: “Just move forward!” Her: “No, you move BACK” (into the mass of many dozens of people waiting in line behind them?). The man in the MAGA hat then skipped ahead of those people so that HE could be right behind her, saying “You sound like a fool! You want six feet? I’ll be right next to you now, how about that?” She seemed to be guilty of early-morning airport crankiness and COVID burnout, but he was a wackadoodle spoiling for a fight.

There is no video evidence of the man actually cutting the line, but if the original poster’s comments are accurate, then this is certainly a nasty move on his part. Anyone who has traveled in the past two years knows that the six feet “rule” is loosely (very loosely) adhered to at the airport, and of course isn’t followed at all once the boarding process begins.
Even still, if someone is clearly uncomfortable with the distance, it’s a bit of a d*ick move to cut the line just to antagonize someone. Conversely, one certainly begins to question how serious the concerns are when the woman pulls her mask down so she can hurl expletives at the passenger.
I think we can all agree, the masks need to go, and we need to move on with life.
No word on how this incident ended, or if the travelers were detained or separated in any way. If Karma’s a thing, they’d be sitting next to each other on their flight.

There is no Six Feet Rule. If you are such a narcissist obsessed with avoiding the germs of others such that you can’t act normally around people, you shouldn’t be traveling. The guy was certainly right to call her out and pointing to his hat for her defense is the worst sort of ad hominem.
Trump was vaccinated and encouraged his own supporters to do so, too. So, wearing a Trump hat means nothing.
Yelling spreads Covid-19. If the woman is concerned, her yelling solution is bad. Maybe use her luggage to create some space?
The woman is acting like a fool. She wants her 5 minutes of fame.
Well….the “Trumper” is black so you’re just being racist by writing about him.
She is black also , dosnt have anything to do with race !! Her butt needs 6ft space hust to get down the isle !! Take a cab , dummy !!
Most of yall sound stupid and sound disrespectful. We have no idea if she had already started asking politely or if she just automatically started yelling. It sounds a bit like she was getting frustrated from “travelers behind her”. It didnt specify if it was 1 person or more incidents where she asked. Another commentator made a good option by using her luggage. If someone is askin for space, clearly she isnt gonna b riding the person in front of her. I’m sure she wasnt count the feet, she just didnt want people that close to her. It wasnt stopping the line if she asked for space, so it seems kinda insensitive to start judging her cuz she wants to b safe. Yea she shudnt have pulled her mask down either, but mayb she was trying to seriously get her point across. And for the idiot who said she wanted her 5 min of fame, what about the entitled trump supporter?? He was speaking crazy. I wudda tried real hard to fart if he was too close. Sounded like a threat to me, so yes o woulda got loud there too. There is a six foot rule, it’s just not adhered to or respected, but if someone asks just take a step back, yall not goin no where anyways, troll holes.
