This Saturday, conservative firebrand Ann Coulter went a little nuts on Twitter. But it wasn’t her usual nuttery. Coulter lashed out at Delta Airlines for allegedly giving away the “extra room seat” she had purchased.
Coulter’s tweetstorm started out with her calling Delta “the worst airlines, STILL…” adding that “it’s really not worth spending all that money on planes” when Delta’s staff gives your seat away.
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.

Coulter’s rant turned oddly personal when she tweeted out a photo of a Delta flight attendant to her 1.6 million followers.

She also took a photo of the woman she alleges took her seat:
.@Delta didn’t give my extra room seat to an air marshall or tall person. Here’s the woman given my PRE-BOOKED seat: pic.twitter.com/iDNB8xXXOd

The rant finally prompted a response from Delta, who said Coulter would be refunded the $30 she paid to upgrade her seat, but added:
@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

Usually, complaints about questionable behavior from airlines bring an overwhelmingly sympathetic response from social media, but Coulter’s airline woes didn’t get much support:

SERIOUSLY? So you stood, took a picture, and blasted it — and her — all over the net. Who's the asshole here, Ann?

If I was in charge of Delta's marketing, I'd focus all future ads on the fact that we pissed off Ann Coulter.

Delta's actions re: Ann Coulter were unacceptable. There's no excuse for allowing her on one of their flights.
