Delta bans passenger for life after anti-Hillary rant

Actions have consequences.

On a flight last Tuesday from Atlanta to Allentown, Pennsylvania, a passenger stood up and started yelling about politics. "We got some Hillary bitches on here?" he said. He later shouted, "Donald Trump! He's your president, every goddamn one of you. If you don't like it, too bad."

The airline apologized Saturday, and said it should not have allowed the man to remain on the flight. Now Delta CEO Ed Bastian has gone further, saying in a staff memo Monday that this passenger "will never again be allowed on a Delta plane." All passengers aboard the plane will be refunded for their tickets.
