Her political agenda isn't a secret. She founded Moms Demand Action. And it's not a political action group against airlines or women's rights. No need to make her politics an issue in this case. I fully believe she witnessed what she perceived as injustice. She tweeted about it. Hopefully, now that she has expanded knowledge into the situation, she can ascertain that United wasn't unfairly targeting these girls.
Now, do I think that United has some antiquated rules that unfairly targets women in today's climate....that's another story.
Regardless of what she ascertains, I doubt she'll be following up with a "so sorry, I was wrong" tweet. But she's got a ton of publicity, which will only help her blog visit numbers.
I saw an updated article this morning. She concedes that she wasn't aware of the situation regarding a dress code for passengers flying on employee passes. But she still maintains it was unfair, an injustice, that it's a sexist, misogynistic policy, and that she was right to complain about it because it's her duty to call out such transgressions whenever she witnesses them.
