Ann Coulter had to switch seats on a Delta flight. Then came the tirade.

Ann Coulter had to switch seats on a Delta flight. Then came the tirade.

By Avi Selk July 17 at 2:25 AM

Back when nearly everyone else on the planet seemed outraged at United Airlines over the violent de-seating of a paying passenger, Ann Coulter, as she so often does, shared her own unique take.

“Sorry about the dragging,” she wrote in April. “But convicted pill-mill doctor should be deported.” ... The bloodied passenger had a criminal history and immigrated from Vietnam, you see.

But so much for Coulter’s nuanced take on air travel. On Saturday, she declared “the worst airline in America” to be not United, but Delta Air Lines — which allegedly committed the offense of de-seating Ann Coulter.

{A belligerent man in a Trump hat was kicked off a flight as a crowd chanted: ‘Lock him up!’}

Coulter didn’t just slam Delta for moving her from her “PRE-BOOKED seat” with extra leg room (to another seat in the same row, according to the airline). She also documented the experience in photos and tweet after tweet, which she shared with her 1.6 million followers, not to mention the wider spectrum of people fascinated by things Ann Coulter does.

"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?' Flight attendant: "I don't know.”

If you thought it was about $30, @Delta, why didn't you give this woman $30 and let me stay in my PRE-BOOKED, ASSIGNED seat?
