Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro suggested over the weekend that the US Airways flight attendant who refused to hang up an Army Ranger’s uniform jacket should be exposed to the Ebola virus.
“Have we lost all semblance of respect, decency and honor for those who put their lives on the line every day?” she asked on her show Saturday night, according to a transcript. “This is the tone that is set in Washington. There’s no respect for the military in this country anymore.”
US Airways has apologized after the unnamed flight attendant reportedly refused to let Sgt. Albert Marle, a decorated Army Ranger, hang his uniform jacket in the aircraft’s closet to keep it from wrinkling.
Ms. Pirro named the attendant “Ms. Not So Friendly Skies” and suggested she be exposed to the Ebola virus.
“Ma’am, I don’t know what your name is and I hope I never find out, because not only do you have no class, you have no honor,” she said. “And you know what? As U.S. Air investigates the role of this flight attendant, I have an idea. I’ll be kind. She shouldn’t lose her job. She should stay in the employ of US Air, in maintenance, cleaning toilets on all flights coming in from West Africa. Someone’s gotta do it.”
