CNN’s Angela Rye endured an invasive Transportation Security Administration patdown in Detroit on Friday and documented the disturbing encounter on social media.
Reduced to tears, Rye likely had much of America on her side… until she decided to turn the incident into an attack on President-elect Donald Trump.
Establishing what would seem to be a reasonable expectation, that the TSA agents “aren’t patting down my vagina,” Rye went on to describe a “vaginal chop” that clearly took her aback, as seen in the video she shared. But Rye opted to jettison millions in her corner when she then brought politics into it, comparing the TSA agents to Trump grabbing vaginas.
1. Metal detector and AIT (same thing). The AIT is what flagged my vag. I repeatedly refused a vaginal pat down. So they called police. https://t.co/fFtjbXW9H4

2. Even offered to go back through AIT. They told me to get the pat down or be escorted out by police.

3. Instead, the officer recorded TSA’s pat down and offered to file an incident report when it was finished.

4. What she explained she would do in “back hand” pat down and the actual vaginal chop that occurred were diff. I would’ve preferred neither

Rye also posted the video of the pat down, taken by the responding police officer:
I asked the police officer to film this so I can send to @TSA. I'm hoping my humiliation will fix the system. #TSAVaginaMonologues pic.twitter.com/lypkkcpZCW

If only she could have left well enough alone. Rye allowed her political leanings to thoroughly distract from what was a very valid message when she posted this:
So, apparently TSA follows a p-grabbing Trump model…? https://t.co/L2um8XaKbt

Then again, what can you expect from an individual who questions the legitimacy of Trump being elected president of the United States:
.@angela_rye: "Donald Trump's election in my mind is far from legitimate at this point." https://t.co/oZz0jUmo8i https://t.co/CXYqFbZJZP

The reaction on social media suggests people are over the Trump-bashing from the left and its media allies… and that Rye only hurt her cause by slamming him.
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@angela_rye sorry for this but nothing to do with Trump so knock that part off #childplease

I was feeling bad for @angela_rye but then seen unnecessary comment about Trump.Takes away from important issue by alienating others.

@angela_rye Agree it’s wrong but the Obama admin. has been in charge of the TSA for 8 years, not Trump.

@angela_rye This is not Trump’s America that did this to you…. it’s Obama’s.
— William Boothman (@BillBoothman) December 16, 2016
@angela_rye You risk losing half the support you justly deserve, b/c you couldn’t resist gratuitously turning this into a Trump bash. Silly.
