CNN reports:
An employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a former Delta Air Lines flight attendant says she was fired for posting an image of former President Donald Trump wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood on her personal Facebook page.
The plaintiff, Leondra Taylor, who is Black, admitted she posted a cartoon image on her personal Facebook page. The image was created by editorial cartoonist Aislin and published by the Montreal Gazette on October 1, 2020.
