'Just Shut Up' Was A Perfect Answer To This

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, told United Airlines to simply "shut up" after the airline followed the same, uncertain route taken by their rival Delta Airlines in attacking Georgia's recent election law.

United Airlines called Georgia's new voting law "wrong" and insisted it "infringes on the right to vote of fellow Americans."

The Texas congressman fired back on Monday, shattering United Airlines as pandering "hypocrites."

Crenshaw pointed to United’s own policy requiring photo identification for people to board their flights.

"'Travelers 18 years of age or older are required to have a valid, current U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID that contains name, date of birth, gender, expiration date and a tamper-resistant feature for travel,'" wrote the congressman, citing United's policy.
