Trump Supporter Knocks Phone Out of Woman's Hand, is Escorted Away

A woman wearing a Donald Trump flag was escorted away by authorities after confronting a woman seemingly filming her at an airport.

Video of the moment, which can be watched here, was posted to the TikTok page of Jennirocha86. It has been viewed over 1 million times and currently has over 126,000 likes.

The clip was posted alongside the comment: "Only at the Phoenix airport LOL. My cousin sent me this earlier."

The video begins with a woman draped in a Trump flag approaching another lady at the airport, who has her phone out.

The former repeatedly asked the latter if she was being recorded, before rhetorically asking whether she had permission to record her.

The Trump supporter then smacked the phone out of the woman's hand, before again asking whether she had permission to record her.

Seconds later the Trump supporter is approached by two security officers, with one saying: "You do not have permission to smack people's phones," before arresting her.

Without resisting, the woman walked off with the two officers, again repeating that the lady with the phone had no permission to record her. It is not known if the woman was filming the Trump supporter.

Viewers of the video took to the comment section to comment on the quick action by the authorities.

One user commented: "*Wears flag to airport for attention*. Gets mad when they get attention. I can't believe these people are real."

Another person wrote: "It is so satisfying how the officer was right there."

Other commenters highlighted that in public spaces the expectation of privacy is diminished.

One wrote: "You can record in a public setting where there is no expectation of privacy. Don't have meltdowns in public places and then get mad when people record."

Another joked: "Did she plan on smacking someone at the airport for the hundreds of security cameras she's being recorded on too?"

Newsweek has contacted both the TikToker and Phoenix Sky Harbour for comment.

Donald Trump has repeatedly been criticized for the behavior of his supporters, most notably those that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2020.

The attorney for Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman," last week demanded Trump take responsibility for his followers.

After Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison last week Wednesday, Albert Watkins issued a foul-mouthed remark directed at Trump.

He said: "If you're asking my opinion, my opinion is meaningless. I will say that I would probably be far more effective over a beer with former President Trump, even if he didn't have a beer because I understand he doesn't drink beer, but I'd have a beer.

"I'd tell him, 'You know what? You've got a few f**king things to do. Including clearing this f**king mess up and taking care of a lot of the jackasses that you f**ked up because of January 6.'

"In the meantime, I might talk to him about some other things that I'd agree with him on. But my opinion doesn't mean s**t."
