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 Coulters 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.

Coulter didnt 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.

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?
