Heathrow Plane Delayed After Heated Dispute Over MAGA Cap. A British Airways flight from Heathrow Airport to Texas was delayed by two hours following a heated confrontation over a Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap, Sky News reports. Two American women were reportedly removed from the plane after one requested the other remove the MAGA hat, sparking an altercation. The altercation escalated when the woman wearing the MAGA hat refused to take it off, leading to a physical exchange of punches between the passengers. Metropolitan Police were called to the scene around 12:45 pm to manage the situation between the two women involved in the dispute. The police reported that a woman in her 40s and a woman in her 60s filed counter-allegations of affray, a legal term for public fighting. British Airways apologized for the delay, stating they worked swiftly to get remaining passengers on their way following the incident. The red MAGA cap, a trademark of Donald Trump’s supporters since his 2016 campaign, has remained a contentious symbol, especially in politically charged environments. With the US presidential election approaching on November 5, tensions are high between supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. This altercation at Heathrow illustrates the deepening political divide and emotional intensity surrounding the US election, even extending to international spaces. As the election nears, such incidents highlight the charged political climate and the role symbols like the MAGA hat play in fueling public disputes.
