Man Who Harassed Ivanka Trump On Plane Deletes Twitter Account
"You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!"
While on a plane waiting to depart New York City, Ivanka Trump became entangled in a tense situation with fellow passenger Dan Goldstein.
“Your father is ruining the country,” Goldstein, who works as a Brooklyn attorney, shouted.
The 35-year-old mother of three kept calm during the ordeal, with Goldstein eventually being escorted off the flight for disturbing the peace.
According to a report from TMZ, as Goldstein was removed he screamed, “You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!”
Goldstein’s husband, Matthew Lasner, later claimed on Twitter, “My husband expressed his displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane.”
However, the internet rarely forgets, and soon Lasner’s previous tweets were discovered.
“Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil,” he tweeted out, just an hour before the incident.
Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce picked up on the story and sent Lasner a message asking for an explanation.
Really @mattlasner why did you delete this tweet about deliberately harassing the @IvankaTrump at the @JetBlue terminal?
When more media outlets became aware of the situation, Lasner promptly deleted his Twitter account.
Lasner is a professor at Hunter College — with a Ph.D. in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning from the Harvard School of Design. He once called President-elect Donald Trump “The Gordon Gekko of Developers.”
Earlier photos from Lasner’s social media profile show he had participated in the #NotMyPresident marches. A week after the election, he predicted that Trump “will have privately-run internment camps (‘deportation centers’) open by March.”
