A plane carrying four members of Congress to Washington, D.C., for a vote on ending the government shutdown was forced to divert after a “disruptive passenger” caused a disturbance, reportedly shouting, “We live in a fascist state.”

According to a report by the New York Post, Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) wrote on X Tuesday that the American Airlines flight, which also included Arizona Republicans Eli Crane, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar, made an emergency landing in Kansas City after the incident.

According to FlightAware, the plane had been airborne for roughly two hours and 41 minutes after departing from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport before safely landing at Kansas City International Airport around 6:15 p.m.
