New York – Delta Air Lines is pulling its sponsorship of New York’s Public Theater for portraying Julius Caesar as a Donald Trump look-alike in a business suit who gets knifed to death on stage.

The Atlanta-based airline released a statement Sunday saying the graphic staging of Julius Caesar does not reflect its values and “crossed the line on the standards of good taste.”
The play is part of the city’s free Shakespeare in the Park festival in Central Park. Its director, Oskar Eustis, says the production “in no way advocates violence toward anyone.”
Messages seeking comment from The Public Theater weren’t immediately returned.
Performances of the assassination scene began just days before comedian Kathy Griffin was criticized for posing for a photograph in which she gripped a bloodied rendering of Trump’s head.
We support Delta – FLY DELTA for their true being an American airline
the person who produced this scene s/b INDICTED for INCITEMENT
imagine if this would have been against Obama this person would be IN JAIL
Disgusting! The left is completely out of control.
Trumpeteers are a bunch of snowflakes.
Finally a sense of normalcy from an American corporation
Good. If Obama would have been portrayed as Othello, the left would have gone bat crazy.
These actors should be thrown off Delta flights
