SALT LAKE CITY - AUGUST 12: A Delta Airlines jet taxies for take-off at the Salt Lake International Airport August 12, 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The resent increase in fuel prices has forced some airlines to raise ticket prices and may force some such as Delta into bankruptcy.

A video went viral over Christmas weekend that showed a woman berating an older man on a flight for not wearing a mask while she also had her mask pulled down.

In the video, which has been viewed millions of times, the man, who was seated, tells the woman, who was standing over him, that the reason that his mask was down was because he was eating.

“Stand your a*s up!” the woman yelled. “Stand your a*s up!”

“Sit down, Karen!” the man fired back. “You’re a g*****n, Karen. Sit down!”

After several more moments of an intense back-and-forth between the man and the woman, the flight crew got involved and tried to break up the situation before she struck the man in the face with her hand.

“No you’re going to jail,” the man yelled. “That’s assault. You’re going to jail. As soon as we get to Atlanta, you’re going to jail.”

“Karen!” the man yelled.

The woman then appeared to spit in the man’s face.

“Now you spit on me, now you’re double going to jail,” the man fired back.

“You f***ing piece of s**t,” the woman yelled.

“Put your f***ing mask on!” the woman yelled as she was not wearing a mask. “Put your f***ing mask on!”

Delta Air Lines responded to the incident by telling the Daily Mail in a statement that it has a zero tolerance policy for these types of incidents.

“Flight 2790 from Tampa to Atlanta was met by law enforcement after an unruly customer disturbance during flight,” Delta said. “Situations like these are rare for the vast majority of our customers and Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior at our airports and aboard our aircraft.”

WATCH:

Some of the top notable responses to the incident included:

  • Jennifer Brett, editor at AJC: “Here’s a great way to ensure you’ll never fly Delta again. Airlines maintain their own no-fly lists with folks like this in mind.”
  • Pat Dixon, podcast host: “Unmasked woman punches, scratches and spits on an old man’s face for not wearing a mask while he’s eating.”
  • Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY): “Karen is saving the world…”
  • Kyle Bosch: “The amount of restraint that man had is truly unbelievable. Shame on @Delta for not intervening sooner. When will this mask nonsense end? People’s lives are in danger by lunatics and we’re at a tipping point. Throw out the damn mask mandates and let us decide for ourselves.”
  • Clay Travis, sports commentator: “This is the insane virtue signaling masking world Fauci has created. While not wearing her mask this woman strikes and spits this man for not wearing hers. And she thinks she’s the good person here!”
  • Garry Tonon, MMA: “Imagine being upset because someone’s mask isn’t on, while you’re currently not wearing one, and getting so crazed over the situation you spit in a guys face … the irony is incredible.”
