CNN analyst ripped for comparing pilot's anti-Biden 'Let's go Brandon' sign off to ISIS loyalty pledge

remarks before takeoff to an holy warrior declaring ’Long live ISIS’.

After an unnamed Southwest Airlines pilot allegedly said ’Let's go Brandon’ — a recent conservative meme that has become code for ’F**k Joe Biden’ — while signing off of a Friday flight from Houston, Texas to Albuquerque, New Mexico, CNN national security analyst Asha Rangappa compared the incident to an Islamic holy warrior making a statement in support of the terrorist group Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS, formerly ISIS).

"As an experiment, I'd love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say ’Long live ISIS’ before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours," Rangappa tweeted, garnering heavy criticism on social media, including from journalist Glenn Greenwald who called it illustrative of "the rot of modern-day corporate media."

This is a joke, right? For Halloween?

An ironic twist, as in "CNN + national security" actually means threat to American security
