Woke Ford exec posts bizarre rant after catching fellow flyer watching Fox News
A Ford executive went on an online tangent detailing a confrontation he had with an elderly passenger and his wife — about Fox News.
Barrett Evans — who works as the company's chief learning officer, according to his LinkedIn profile — shared a lengthy story on Threads that resulted in his 'filter… malfunctioning.'
'Elderly passenger on my flight from San Diego yesterday enjoyed Fox 'News' for the entire ride,' Evans wrote under his @chivalryandchampagne account.
'Deplaning and I notice he and his wife getting into their airport wheelchairs to be pushed to next gate,' he continued. 'My filter was malfunctioning …'
Evans recounted mocking the pair.
'Love to see you supporting DEI,' he apparently said to them, as one responded, 'Not me!'
He claimed he went on to tell them, 'Yes — you. That wheelchair, and the human pushing it, are provided at no direct cost to you — rather by a subsidized cost attributed to every passenger in this airport. Provided to level the playing field — for you.'
Evans appeared to equate the Fox News viewer with a right-winger who is against diversity, equity and inclusion measures which have been targeted by the Trump administration.
In a follow-up post, Evans noted how 'not all passengers need assistance,' and went on to list why the service helps mightily with those who do.
'This is a real-world infrastructure of equity in action: acknowledging that different people have different needs, and creating systems to support those differences fairly,' he concluded.
The post, made on Friday, has since gone viral on all social media platforms.
Prior to Evans making his Threads account private, his post was liked nearly 100,000 times by Monday.
While many agreed with his sentiment, others questioned how the situation was even linked to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Evans was also slammed for being antagonistic and 'delusional' while many called out his behaviour to his employer.
'Great look, @Ford. Harassing an elderly man for watching the news,' one person on X wrote.
Another user added: 'Hey @Ford, is this the way your company treats people? This executive should be terminated immediately for his belligerent behaviour toward elderly people he doesn't even know. Shame on Ford for hiring such a person.'
Another added, 'Imagine harassing an elderly man at the airport, in public, because he watched a news channel you don't like.'
One person commented: 'If everyone paid attention to their own screens and lives, world would be a far better place to live.'

Gavin Newsom amid National Guard mobilization in Los responded to Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy at the White House on Monday when questioned about the ongoing clash between Newsom and asked whether Homan should arrest Newsom, the president responded, 'I would do it if I were Tom.' Trump added, 'I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing.'Newsom responded to Trump's answer on X, formerly Twitter. 'This is a day I hoped I would never see in America,' said Newsom. 'I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.'Trump's comment comes after Homan threatened Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass with potential arrests if they interfered with ICE operations in L.A. Newsom commented on Homan's threat in an interview with MSNBC, saying, 'He's a tough guy, why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me.'Homan criticized Newsom's response to the mass protests and confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement agencies that began June 6, calling him 'an embarrassment for the state.''If he cared about public safety in the state of California, he would not have a sanctuary for criminals, where criminals get released to the street in this state every day because of his policy,' Homan said of response to Trump's deployment of the National Guard, the state of California sued the Trump Administration on Monday. The lawsuit criticizes the administration and accuses it of overstepping Newsom's authority as the commander-in-chief of the California National Secretary Pete Heseth said on X that if the violence continued, 'Active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.' This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

113 House Dems vote against GOP resolution to condemn Boulder attack on pro-Israel activists
More than 100 Democrats voted against a House GOP-led resolution to condemn the accused terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. It passed 280-113, with 75 Democrats joining Republicans to vote for the bill. Six lawmakers, five Democrats and one Republican, voted "present." The legislation was introduced by Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., last week in response to the attack. But Democrat lawmakers made clear they were opposed to language in the resolution that they felt was politically charged. In addition to condemning the attack, Evans' resolution also appeared to rebuke blue-leaning sanctuary jurisdictions that were at odds with federal immigration authorities, and he condemned illegal immigrants who overstay their visas as well. A second bill, led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Joe Neguse, D-Colo., more broadly condemned the rise in antisemitic attacks in the U.S. That legislation netted much wider bipartisan support, passing 400-0, with just two lawmakers voting "present." House Gop Targets Another Dem Official Accused Of Blocking Ice Amid Delaney Hall Fallout Read On The Fox News App But Evans' resolution more specifically noted that the case of terror suspect Mohammed Sabry Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa and a subsequent work authorization, "demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas." The Egyptian national is facing federal charges after allegedly attempting to set fire to peaceful demonstrators who were protesting Hamas' continued possession of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The Trump administration has vowed that he and his family will be deported from the U.S. Evans' resolution also "affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks" and it "expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland." It comes as Democrat-controlled cities like Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee, have seen their leaders criticize the Trump administration's ICE crackdown. The Trump administration's handling of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles has spurred an outpouring of scorn from Democrat officials, particularly the decision to send National Guard troops in to break up the demonstrations. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized Evans' resolution in comments to reporters on Monday. "Who is this guy? He's not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort," Jeffries said. "Antisemitism is a scourge on America. It shouldn't be weaponized politically." Jeffries also called Evans "a joke." Evans responded on X, "I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, & now as a Congressman. This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat's Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions." Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who is Jewish, also criticized Evans' resolution. Meet The Trump-picked Lawmakers Giving Speaker Johnson A Full House Gop Conference "You weren't here, Mr. Evans, last term, but there were about 10 antisemitism resolutions that effectively said the same thing solely to score political points. We Jews are sick and tired of being used as pawns," Goldman said during debate on the bill. But Van Drew, who is leading a bipartisan resolution that similarly condemns antisemitism but does not discuss immigration, defended Evans' measure. "Yes, it is different than mine. Mine focused purely on antisemitism here in the world. But he brings up a valid point not only for Jews, but for many innocent victims. Whether it was Laken Riley, whether it was the women that were raped, the women and men that were killed, those that were beaten, those that were hurt, who were in law enforcement. Illegal immigration is not a good thing," Van Drew said. The two lawmakers who voted "present" on Van Drew's resolution were Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. Greene wrote on X after the vote, "Antisemitic hate crimes are wrong, but so are all hate crimes. Yet Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others. Tonight, the House passed two more antisemitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I've voted on since taking office. Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent."Original article source: 113 House Dems vote against GOP resolution to condemn Boulder attack on pro-Israel activists
