CNN pundits had a meltdown over the story of a Southwest pilot allegedly saying "Let's Go Brandon" over his plane's public address system and drew comparisons to ISIS and Nazi Germany.

CNN's Asha Rangappa suggested the pilot's alleged comments were akin to saying "Long live ISIS" before taking off.

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

"'Let's Go Brandon' has become the MAGA version of 'Sieg Heil,'" CNN contributor Tristan Snell said.

“Let’s Go Brandon” has become the MAGA version of “Sieg Heil.”

CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem, who recently wrote an article calling for all purebloods to be put on the No Fly List, demanded Southwest take retribution on the pilot and called for every passenger on the flight to "file a complaint with the FAA."

If @SouthwestAir doesn’t do anything, every passenger on that flight has standing to file a complaint with the @FAANews and they should do so. Southwest will then be compelled to investigate or defend him. Have fun with that. No messing around in the air. Bright line rule. https://t.co/L7VlZWJ0SU

CNN analyst Joe Lockhart lambasted Southwest for not moving "faster" to punish the pilot.

"My guess is many if not most of their pilots are totally ok with it and the airline is afraid the pilots will walk," Lockhart said. "Let that sink in."

The fact that @SouthwestAir has not moved faster with their Brandon pilot indicates a much broader problem. My guess is many if not most of their pilots are totally ok with it and the airline is afraid the pilots will walk. Let that sink in.

If this pilot said "F**k Trump" before the flight all these hacks would be celebrating.

I cannot believe that a Southwest Airlines pilot would say 'Lets Go Brandon' during a flight. That's so disgraceful and offensive.

He literally needs to be fired. pic.twitter.com/oSOdBiZ0vQ
