A woman who supports former President Donald Trump says she was treated differently on her American Airlines flight because of her MAGA hat. The woman, Heather Mullins, alleges that she was sitting in first class when a flight attendant walked around asking everyone what they would like to drink. Heather "thought it was odd" that the flight attendant didn't ask her what she wanted, she explained on X, especially because the flight attendant asked the man sitting next to her.
"When she came back I asked her if I could get a drink, and in the nastiest voice, she was like 'No. I’ll be back for you.' and proceeded to serve the people behind me," Heather wrote on the platform.
Heather also noted that she has worn her MAGA hat on many other occasions but had not experienced anything else like this.
"I’ve worn my MAGA hat every time I’ve flown for the last four years and got thousands of fist bumps. NEVER got any hate," she wrote.
She also pointed out that others on the flight were supportive and equally surprised by what happened. Though she was "honestly in shock," she was "so grateful for all the kind people around me saying how awful it was she did that to me."
"She’s an anomaly. Most people are not like that," she added.

Heather later wrote on X that the airline reached out to her about the incident and "apologized, and said they are putting in the complaint and notifying the inflight management. He said ultimately I won’t know what actions they take on her."
American Airlines told the New York Post that the airline is "investigating the matter, including reaching out to the customer to learn more about her experience."
"American Airlines strives to provide a positive and welcoming experience to everyone who travels with us," the airline said in a statement shared with the outlet.
