An American Airlines flight carrying four United States Congressman was diverted on Tuesday due to a disrupter passenger. According to Rep. Greg Stanton of Arizona, the flight carrying the congressman made an emergency stop in Kansas City after a woman started to yell “we live in a Fascist state.” Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) posted on X on Tuesday that the American Airlines flight carrying him along with three Republicans from the Grand Canyon State — Reps. Eli Crane, Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar — was forced to make an “emergency stop in Kansas City” after an unruly passenger caused a disturbance following takeoff from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The flight had been in the air for about 2 hours and 41 minutes when it was diverted to Kansas City International Airport, landing safely around 6:15 p.m., according to FlightAware. A video posted by another passenger on the flight after the emergency landing shows Kansas City police officers boarding the Airbus A320 and escorting an unidentified woman off the plane.
