Allentown, PA – Delta Air Lines is apologizing for not removing a passenger from a flight to Pennsylvania who rudely professed his support for President-elect Donald Trump and insulted those who didn’t.

The (Allentown) Morning Call first reported on a video posted on Facebook by a fellow passenger on the Tuesday flight from Atlanta to Allentown. The video shows the man standing in the aisle, yelling and insulting Hillary Clinton supporters.
In the video, the man asks loudly: “We got some Hillary bitches on here?”
Referring to Trump’s victory, he says: “If you don’t like it, too bad.”
Delta said on its website Saturday that it is “sorry this disruption happened” and says the airline is responsible for “ensuring all customers feel safe and comfortable.”
And how about all the Hillary supporters who make Trump supporters uncomfortable with their death threats and acts of violence? Would Delta be sorry if someone like that rudely antagonized other passengers on a plane and their similarly hateful act went unpunished?
What utter nonsense!
I’m sure that if ANY passenger, regardless of political affiliation, threatened another passenger (regardless of THEIR political affiliation), then ANY airline would have that threatening passenger removed and arrested. No apology needed.
It is a shame that America has descended into “hatred as politics” and it seems to be spreading to both sides.
If Delta is going to be siding to party affiliations. they are going to be losing a lot of money!!
Getting to the point; you have the right to express your opinion but not by ranting on a commercial flight. No different than someone being drunk and belligerent.
RocklandRes hit it on the nail: one of our salesmen was on this flight and his comment was that the man was an obnoxious drunk. So to those of you that go into political mode whenever some idiot makes a fool of himself, I have the following comment: “The election is over, so get a life”.
