A Florida passenger onboard a United Airlines flight was ejected before taking off from Fort Lauderdale for demonstrating his protest against mask-wearing mandates.
He claimed he was making history just like civil rights activist Rosa Parks.
Adam Jenne was kicked off the plane because instead of wearing a proper mask, he wore a bright red pair of women's panties on his face.
“I think the best way to illustrate absurdity is with absurdity,” said Jenne.
The anti-masker insisted he was complying with the airline's mask policy because he claimed the thong fully covered his nose and mouth, but according to the footage filmed by a fellow passenger, it did not.

Jenne said other passengers opposed to wearing masks onboard followed his lead and exited the plane in protest, but his claim was not confirmed.

The disgraced customer compared himself to Rosa Parks after suffering the consequences of his stunt.
Parks was an African-American activist who stood up to racial segregation and was arrested in 1955 after she famously refused to give up her seat in the "colored section" of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, for a White passenger once the "White section" was full.
"Everything else that has sparked change in this country has started from everyday people," said Jenne. "Rosa Parks was nobody famous. She changed the course of history."
Wait. Is he trying to be funny? Or trying to make a statement? Can't even believe the Rosa Parks comparison but if we compare what's his point? She had a point\u2014what's his?— Joline Rivera (@Joline Rivera) 1639760726

This shows why American history instruction needs to be improved in our schools.— TheKingofWhales (@TheKingofWhales) 1639715149
Curious \nDid this meathead go thru TSA to get on the plane? Did he comply with FAA mandates? Take off his shoes, belt, empty his pockets, have his bags searched? \nBut he wants to wear chlamydia panties as a mask? \nBye Felicia https://www.insider.com/man-kicked-off-flight-for-wearing-thong-instead-face-mask-2021-12\u00a0\u2026— JT Retired Medic\ud83c\udf0a\u270c\u2764\ud83d\udc89\ud83d\udc89 (@JT Retired Medic\ud83c\udf0a\u270c\u2764\ud83d\udc89\ud83d\udc89) 1639758096
Yeah no one followed that guy out of the plane— PRod (@PRod) 1639760912
United Airlines responded to the incident with a statement, saying the “customer clearly wasn’t in compliance with the federal mask mandate."
"We appreciate that our team addressed the issue on the ground prior to takeoff, avoiding any potential disruptions on the air.”
You can wear panties on your face if you want but you can\u2019t tell United Airlines to change their rules, it\u2019s their business. They have a right to refuse service to anyone.— Brunilda Millan Baez (@Brunilda Millan Baez) 1639756655
Jenne was given a refund for the flight, but he continued lamenting about his ejection.
“Covid doesn’t know that we’re at cruising altitude. It’s stupid. The whole thing is theater." he griped.
"It's nonsense...the whole thing is theater." You said it, dude. This performative protest just got you flying Spirit Airlines. Safe travels.— monimona (@monimona) 1639690042
Since the majority of Americans are vaccinated, we will rush to use United Airlines for air travel. Who in the hell wants to sit next to a radicalized middle age white man with a woman's panties on his face? Go United!!!— Elaine Pinkowski (@Elaine Pinkowski) 1639763104
CUSTOMERS AREN\u2019T ALWAYS RIGHT. \n\nPlay stupid games, win stupid prizes.— JP Alvarez (@JP Alvarez) 1639702297
“So much for ‘the customer is always right,’” he added.
