is that if you boil it down to the basics, a person confronted another person on an aircraft, the first person was the aggressor, appearing to the crew that this was not going to calm down, therefore the first person was ejected from the flight. Politics or not, this was just not a good place/time for this. Ivanka and family (kids, too) are paid customers of that flight, and being openly harassed wasn't a nice thing to do. I know, the theme is to no longer be nice, stand up, make your voice heard, but unless you want to come off as the right wingers believe you to be, a total jerk, then time your protest to the betterment of the party. Smarter thing would have been to say something while disembarking, providing "escape" possibilities for all involved. Doing this at the beginning of a flight, in coach, wasn't very bright.
