She’s no shrinking violet.
What did Delta Airlines expect Ann Coulter to do when the airline summarily bumped her from a reserved “Comfort+’’ seat that featured 3 inches of additional legroom?
The 6 ft. tall leggy blonde political commentator was none too pleased with how the incident was handled by the airline and immediately took to social media to let her 1.6 million followers know.
Coulter unleashed on Delta, and given the airline industry’s recent history of poor customer service, it certainly didn’t help matters. Either way, her effort drew plenty of attention online.
Just when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta

Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Delta gate staff give your seat away.

“Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked?’’ Coulter tweeted.
She included a photo of a flight attendant in the tweet, who she said replied, “I don’t know.”

And the lucky recipient of Coulter’s reserved seat, who did not appear to be very amused, was spared no pain, have her photo suddenly blasted across the internet.

And the conservative author raged on, in full fury.
Hey @Delta, you mind telling me why it was an "emergency" to move someone else into the seat I had carefully chosen in advance and booked?

Also, @Delta, your wifi doesn't work — probably to prevent passengers from tweeting from the plane about how they're being treated.

.@JetBlue has free wifi and doesn't wantonly remove passengers from their assigned seats, booked in advance FOR A REASON. @Delta sucks.

Almost two hours later, potentially post-flight, she was still at it:
So glad I took time investigate the aircraft & PRE-BOOK a specific seat on @Delta, so some woman could waltz at the last min & take my seat.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 15, 2017
But at least @Delta was nice @ it, summarily snatching my ticket from my hand & ordering me to move w/o explanation, compensation or apology
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017
Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so don’t lie, @Delta!
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017
Needless to say, Coulter’s critics, primarily on the left, suddenly took a liking to Delta, while her supporters joined in the outrage.
If it’s any consolation, she did get an apology tweet from Delta, signed by “HJB.”
I understand how this must be extremely frustrating, Ann. I’d like to extend my sincere apology. (cont.) *HJB
