Even stars like former Fox News host and conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly get frustrated at the airport, it seems.
A new video from The Daily Mail shows O’Reilly dealing with the same problem that has imbittered almost every American at one point or another — and the tension eventually boils over.
At one point in the argument, O’Reilly lost his temper and declared, “‘You’re going to lose your job.”
The JetBlue airline employee responded with defiance by holding up his name badge for O’Reilly.
The video begins after O’Reilly and other passengers were reportedly waiting for a flight to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean on April 3.
According to the Mail report, the airline wasn’t giving information about why the flight was delayed for over three hours, and O’Reilly went to ask what was happening.
It’s hard to hear the exact exchange but the video shows a clearly vexed O’Reilly towering over a shorter airline employee and becoming increasingly mad.
“Do you have contact information?” he is overheard asking at one point, clearly frustrated. “What you’re gonna do? It’s three hours late.”
The dismissive airline employee responds, and O’Reilly begin to lose his temper.
“No, no, no, You’re gonna find out,” he said. The airline employee responds and O’Reilly cursed.
“You [expletive] scumbag,” he is heard responding. “Don’t talk to me like that.”
The hard-to-hear exchange continues briefly and O’Reilly takes a look at the airline workers badge, warning: “You’re gonna lose your job.”
