A Muslim YouTube prankster claimed he got kicked off a Delta Airlines flight just for speaking Arabic, though the accounts from some passengers and the airline’s statement say otherwise. But the fact that it all might have just been a stupid stunt from an attention-seeker is neither here nor there for actress Maggie Gyllenhaal:
.omgAdamSaleh This isn't FAKE news. It's a:provocative performance about racism (like it r not) or b:a racist thing that actually happened.

So in short:
This is either real and therefore racism, or fake and therefore racism. https://t.co/lK7QN5ozm8

Trying to frame innocent people as racist and intentionally start a race war is now "performance art." https://t.co/oCiIEktWKe

Unfortunately for Gyllenhaal, “A” and “B” don’t cut it:
Or c: A douchebag trying to annoy people on a plane then screaming "racism" because he got caught. https://t.co/LlfWT2hzG2

@mgyllenhaal lmao, that's what you got out of this? Islam isn't a race.

@joelanthony77 @CarlosBeats @mgyllenhaal Or c: punk profiteering off of ppl's heightened awareness on airplanes post-9/11-ISIS terrorism.

@mgyllenhaal an aircraft is not a place for a performance.

Airplanes aren't exactly the place for "provocative performances about racism."— Joel Engel (@joelengel) December 23, 2016
Except that it wasn't B and all the eyewitnesses said it wasn't A.
Also, are you condoning people fucking around on airplanes? https://t.co/qeD5125MPt

Is there anything the Hollywood Left can’t excuse?
Tell that to the people whose flight he delayed trying to get home for Christmas. Maybe you guys will figure this out eventually. https://t.co/LkcpLtfm6h

I'll remember to tell the Air Marshals before I brandish a box-cutter on my next flight, "It's just provocative performance art. Calm down." https://t.co/wxi0VcVuSi

I really liked his provocative performance of tweeting support for the Boston Marathon bombers. https://t.co/m7B2bTNlIf

What did the people on that plane do to deserve being called racists? https://t.co/hKKZjI5OVW

Someone needs to "perform" on your next flight. They could re-enact a hijacking for an even more dramatic affect! https://t.co/IVQlgxrkPe

LOL! A hoax is now "Performance" art. #FakeNews https://t.co/fDZC3NdqDa

It probably wouldn’t have been considered “performance art” had it happened on her flight.
