Ann Coulter Goes Scorched Earth On Delta Airlines On Twitter For Giving Her $30 Extra Leg Room Seat Away
Forget Mayweather/McGregor – the fight everybody can’t stop talking about is Ann Coulter vs. Delta Airlines.
Fireworks this weekend. Ann NOT HAPPY that her seat was moved on her flight, so she responded the way most triggered travelers do in 2017:
TWITTER BLAST!
The Daily Beast - The Conservative commentator and author of the 2009 book, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America continued tweeting until 4am EST Monday morning, accusing the airline of being ‘fascist’ and trying to control her after it attacked her ‘slanderous’ comments.
The row began after Coulter flew from New York’s La Guardia airport to West Palm Beach, Florida.
Coulter detailed how she was asked to move from a seat with extra leg room that she had “carefully chosen in advance and booked,” posting a picture of the woman her seat was given to. Coulter also attacked the airline’s employees.
She went until 4 AM! And then came back for more the next day. If you don’t respect the levels of spite there you got a big dump in your pants.
Finally Delta responded…and it got allllllll the “mic drop” and “OOOOHHHH” memes and gifs the internet had to offer.
Listen let’s be clear, I don’t use the C-word lightly but put a gun to my head and force me to single one person on the planet out and lob that word at them it would be Ann Coulter right up at the top of the list. Just a miserable, miserable fuck of a human being. And a multi-millionaire who made her fortune on calling out triggered snowflakes and victim mentality getting bodybagged publicly by a company for throwing a temper tantrum over a minor inconvenience worth 30 bucks is pretty funny.
But let’s not act like this is some open and shut case of good and evil here. Let’s not throw a parade for Delta just yet. At the end of the day, they’re still Delta Airlines. They’re still going to fuck you over the next chance they get and show absolutely zero remorse for it. If you’re high on them right now for their little Twitter takedown just wait until the next time you have to fly them and see if your mood changes. I mean did you read what started the whole tirade?
Delta said in a statement that Coulter had originally booked a window seat in an exit row, but changed it to one in the aisle less than 24 hours before. The airline said it “inadvertently” moved Coulter during boarding, to another window seat in the same row “when working to accommodate several passengers with seating requests.”
The airline said that while there was some confusion over seating assignments initially, all passengers complied with a flight attendant’s request to move to the seats listed on their ticket. It was only when Coulter began tweeting on Saturday that Delta became aware of the issue, the airline said.
“Delta expects mutual civility throughout the entire travel experience,” it said. “We will refund Ms. Coulter’s $30 for the preferred seat on the exit row that she purchased.”
I mean, she booked a window seat in an exit row. It’s not like she wanted 22C and got 21C – that’s a very specific seat. That’s one you pick out and pay extra for ahead of time for ultimate comfort. And I don’t know what the deal is with that “24 hours” mention, but if you let her switch, then she switched. That’s her seat. Sure in this case it’s only 30 bucks but the money isn’t an issue. It’s the principle. I don’t give a fuck about “accommodating” people with “seating requests.” How about accommodating your paying customers with what they paid for? That’s the point where it doesn’t even matter anymore what your politics are and whose world views you personally align with. If you’ve bought a ticket and flown on an airline before, you know how bullshit that is.
48 hour hissy fit about fascism and comparing it to the Milgram prison experiment?
Real over the top. Like just an insane person move. However as someone who plans on flying in an airplane again and very much plans on being dicked around and treated badly I just can’t stoop to being a hypocrite here. No matter how much Coulter sucks.
