Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump supporter banned for life from Delta flights after rant [View all]
The Delta passenger who launched into a pro-Donald Trump rant mid-flight last week has been banned from flying the airline.
"He will never again be allowed on a Delta plane, reads an internal memo from Delta Air Lines CEO Edward Bastian, dated Nov. 28 and obtained by CNBC News.
Last week, a video circulated online of a man yelling at other passengers about the president-elect and Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival for the White House.
We got some Hillary bitches on here? the man asked in the video.
Its your president. Every goddam one of you. If you dont like it, too bad."
The memo also said it is refunding the fare costs to the passengers who were on the flight.

Good but still curious as to why the flight crew felt this was acceptable behavior.

He did this to intimidate the other passengers. Glad Delta is taking this action against him and
