"The gate agent mistakenly believed that the passenger’s gaiter style mask was not acceptable within our mask policy and the passenger grossly misinterpreted the reasoning behind her objection to his mask." "The FAM politely put the disposable mask on and then covered that mask with this American Flag mask," NAPO wrote. "The Gate Agent then told him to remove the American Flag mask or he would not be allowed to board the plane as it would create issues with the other passengers." "Wearing an American Flag face mask is not a political statement; it is proudly showing support for our country," NAPO added. "The Gate Agent made it political, particularly given the other masks that were allowed without issue on the plane."
