It is not true that a “petista passenger” was expelled by plane by the Goiás Military Police for discussing and slapping a flight attendant who did not ask other passengers to stop music in support of the former president (). The video used in post is true, as it was possible to observe in a reverse search, but does not show the situation described in the publication.
As exhibited from Globo, the case happened on October 4, 2018 and the reason for the expulsion of the flight, which went from Goiânia to Sao Paulo, was the passenger to have “refused to dispatch luggage and insulted commissioners and passengers”. The video began to circulate as misinformation content, election period for president.
