Model Daisy Fuentes Marx questioned why she was allegedly forced to remove her sweater at a security checkpoint while others in line, including a woman in a “full burka or head wrap,” were not:
Hey @TSA The fact I HAVE to remove my sweater (which was only covering a tank top), but the woman in front of me was NOT required to remove any part of her full burka or head wrap (which covered her entire head & face) is absolute bullshit. How are we all ok with this? #fact

In responses to various Twitter users, she made clear that it’s not a religious issue for her but one of security where some travelers are exempt from the rules:
My comment clearly was not about Muslims or minorities.

Religious beliefs should not exempt anyone from following the law. That’s my point.

I described the clothing because that’s what she happened to be wearing. Also applies to nuns or anyone exempt from law because of beliefs.

It’s about anyone exempt from LAWS because of beliefs.

We’re actually curious about why she had to take her sweater off in front of the screeners and hope the TSA answers her.
PS: Before people call Daisy racist over her tweets, maybe check in with her husband, singer/songwriter Richard Marx:
This isn’t about politics or conservatism. Donald Trump himself has put air in the lungs of thousands, if not millions, of this nation’s racists. They now think they have a voice because their voice is his, too. They all must be called out and shouted down.

And:
We can all choose. You can choose to be anti-Muslim. Or you can choose to be anti-terrorist. Yet so many choose not to even bother to make the dinstinction. https://t.co/N1ZmVJc3KH
