Chris Christie’s Niece Booted From Flight After Accusing Hispanic Family of Being Drug Mules
Ugh, this is just so gross.
Chris Christie’s 25-year-old niece was arrested on a bunch of charges, including SIX counts of battery, after causing a ruckus on a Spirit Airlines flight departing from New Orleans on Thanksgiving Day, according to the Times-Picayune.
Before the plane’s departure for New Jersey, Shannon Epstein made passengers uncomfortable after asking a family she perceived to be Latino if they were “smuggling cocaine,” Capt. Jason Rivarde of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office told the Times-Picayune.
After employees requested she be removed from the flight, Epstein resisted and began struggling with deputies. Six deputies were injured, including one who was bit by Epstein. Another deputy was kicked in the groin. Biting and a kick to the nuts, I guess you really don’t fool with Jersey girls.
Epstein was eventually detained after seven deputies handcuffed her to a chair, but then she taunted law enforcement by telling them they would get in trouble for arresting her as a result of Christie’s connections to Donald Trump. Not the best move.

Epstein was released from Jefferson Parish Correctional Center the same day after paying $10,750 bail. She is set to appear in court on January 23.
The case will most likely end up under the jurisdiction of a federal court, due to federal laws that pertain to passenger disruptions on planes since FAA is federal.
Twitter of course added their two cents:
Chris Christie's niece, Shannon, bit and kicked an officer in the groin when she was physically removed from a plane for accusing a Latino family of being "drug mules."
What the world needs now is love, but they're not going to get it from anyone in the @GOP.

So, Chris Christie’s niece did keep yelling they were friends with TFG as she was biting & scratching the law enforcement trying to remove her from a plane for her disruptive racial outbursts…

Chris Christie’s niece assaulted SIX policemen after refusing to deplane when she called a Hispanic family “drug mules”. Obviously she wasn’t put into an 8 minute chokehold or tasered relentlessly. It’s what white privilege looks like in America. She was eventually arrested. https://t.co/iCtuRg5AT4

Chris Christie’s niece was kicked off a plane after she asked passengers she believed were Latino if they were drug smugglers. She also kicked, bit and spat on people.
Sounds like a typical republican bi✝️ch to me.
