The Republican says he was at the airport Wednesday when someone called in an idiot because he was not wearing a mask. West say he approached that person and pulled their mask down. Airport police were called and took a report.

On his Twitter account West provided details of the altercation and insists there is no mask law.

President Joe Biden issued a mask mandate for all public transportation, and that includes inside all US airports.

West publically opposes mask and vaccine mandates. He claims he is not vaccinated and was hospitalized with COVID-19 last month.
