Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was quick to criticize a CNN analyst over her post about a Southwest Airlines pilot who is accused of saying "Let's Go Brandon" over a plane's intercom system.

The phrase has gained traction among some Republicans and critics of President Biden and is code for a derogatory message to the president.

Asha Rangappa, the analyst and senior lecturer at Yale's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, took to Twitter to consider how the pilot's alleged comment would be received if he had said, "Long live ISIS" instead.


"My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours," she posted.

.@cnn is deranged.

And no, as a factual matter, supporting genocidal religious zealots is not the same as disagreeing with the current President. https://t.co/bOM7ptYULS

Asha didn't state they were the same. She was referring to hijacking a professional work environment to scream coded derogatory and obscene messages. The issue seems to be more of the unprofessional manner. And it possibly being actually illegal to disturb flights in that manner.
