Only she could make an airline likable by comparison.

Conservative pundit and author Ann Coulter is infamous for her extreme views and offensive statements. She once called former vice presidential nominee John Edwards a “faggot,” claimed that 9/11 widows enjoyed their “husbands’ deaths so much,” and said the U.S. government should spy on all Arabs. But for being such a tough-talking conservative, Coulter had a major breakdown this weekend over a $30 airline upgrade.
On Saturday, after her Delta flight from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to West Palm Beach, Florida, had landed, Coulter went on a tweetstorm, calling the airline the “worst airline in America.” Coulter was livid because she booked a seat in an exit aisle for more legroom but was moved to a window seat in another aisle by the airline.
\nJust when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 15, 2017\n
\nSo glad I took time investigate the aircraft & PRE-BOOK a specific seat on @Delta, so some woman could waltz at the last min & take my seat.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 15, 2017\n
\n.@Delta motto: "How can we make your flight more uncomfortable?"
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017\n
Then she sent a tweet that personally harassed a Delta employee.
\n"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?' Flight attendant: "I don't know.” pic.twitter.com/a0M1faZXMu

Coulter then tweeted a picture of the people sitting in the row where she had booked her seat. Don’t they look excited to meet a famous racist?
\n.@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

Then she sent out several tweets complaining about the plane’s Wi-Fi and berating the flight attendants.
\n.@Delta employee questionnaire: What is your ideal job: Prison guard? Animal handler? Stasi policeman? All of the above: HIRED!
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 16, 2017\n
But Delta didn’t back down from Coulter’s attacks.
\n@AnnCoulter We're sorry you did not receive the preferred seat you paid for and will refund your $30. (cont.)
— Delta (@Delta) July 16, 2017\n
\n@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.
— Delta (@Delta) July 16, 2017\n
According to a statement from Delta, Coulter originally booked a window seat but changed it to an aisle seat 24 hours before the flight. The airline admitted it had inadvertently moved her to a window seat in another row “when working to accommodate several passengers with seating requests.”
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the drama:
\nAnn Coulter: All liberals are snowflakes!
— Michael Blackman (@MBlackman37) July 17, 2017\n
Also Ann Coulter: Delta slightly inconvenienced me and I demand attention.
\nAnn Coulter not upset she lost Delta seat but furious that the other woman who got it wasn't white.

\n"Pop pop, where were you during the great Ann Coulter-Delta war of 2017???”

Well sonny…
\nIt's pretty funny how stupid she is. I mean how much more than usual. pic.twitter.com/Dab8aaPJqT
