Fox News host Harris Faulkner praised Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s plan to redirect international flights away from major cities in Democrat states to cause widespread chaos in the national air traffic system and mass flight cancellations. Harris was mocked on social media.
it's not just that people like Harris Faulkner and Markwayne Mullin are evil and extremely stupid. It's that they are unshakably confident in their brilliance while in fact being evil and extremely stupid. https://t.co/UMKYnnqGn8

Is she always this obtuse? The planes are not going to red states since the blue city airports in red states are already at capacity. The planes will be cancelled. And it will become apparent real fast that crashing the economy of blue states will hurt the taker red states more. https://t.co/vrDZz1lqIo

This is idiotic. No, if you cancel international flights to those cities, they are NOT going to be diverted to red cities. Those airports are already operating near full capacity, and could not even remotely handle the volume! Instead, there would be mass flight cancellations. https://t.co/2SfFF55yUk
