People on a Delta Airlines flight apparently did not take too kindly to one passenger’s Donald Trump-themed shirt.
At least that’s what the man claims is why he was kicked off a recently Delta flight.
According to a Daily Caller story, during a weekend flight from Satasota, video footage shows a man wearing a shirt featuring a picture of Trump wearing American flag sunglasses, giving the middle finger, with the words “Hawk Tuah, Spit On That Thang.”
The video was allegedly uploaded on r/delta on Reddit from SKBeachGirl, sparking a flurry of comments on the thread from people who were on the flight, and across social media.
The user claimed she’d seen way worse, like “half naked” girls boarding flights who are left alone. Other users were quick to jump on the post, claiming the man probably disobeyed the Delta staff and therefore “poses a minor flight risk.”
Another said the man was wasted, yelling and cussing, and that the incident occurred in Atlanta. Overall, people did not seem to be on the side of the video taped man with the Trump shirt.
“I’m getting kicked off because of my shirt,” the man tells whoever is filming. “And this is her,” he gestures in the video to someone behind him, “this stupid ass Wendy.”
“I was sitting next to a young man before boarding that had on a Trump shirt with middle fingers and a red coat came over and told him some lady complained and he had to change his shirt or he could not get on the plane,” the Reddit user claimed. “He turned his shirt inside out, and we all boarded. Next thing I know, right before takeoff, a Delta employee comes on the plane and escorts him off the flight, he had flipped his shirt back to the decal side.”
Delta airlines did not immediately return a request for comment.
You be the judge of the man’s Trump shirt for yourself:
