Delta puts Magats who harassed Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham on no fly list.

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-supporters-2649939977/

Passengers who harassed Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have been placed on Delta Airlines' no-fly list, Reuters reports.

In total, 880 people have been placed on Delta's no-fly list for refusing to wear a mask while others are banned for "harassing other passengers or unruly behavior related to the U.S. election results."

Videos showed Romney being confronted by self-described "patriots" at Salt Lake International Airport last week. Other videos showed people harassing Graham at Reagan National Airport, calling him a "traitor" after he publicly broke with Trump earlier in the week.

In the wake of the the violence at the U.S. Capitol, American Airlines and Delta announced they are working with law enforcement and other agencies to ensure the safety of travelers.


I can hear the whining about "cancel culture" already. Hey bozos, if you harass other passengers you can get the hell out!

They've been allowed to do/say whatever they wanted for years now, fomenting a conspiracy based movement that culminated in the insurrection. Now social media, Corporate America, big donors etc are waking up, and rightfully banning them from the mainstream of society.

Even allowing me to keep a free flight voucher. And my credits are good through the end of this year. Usually its only 12 months from the time you cancel.
They've definitely stepped up. And they also give you the middle seat too

To me, its almost like 1st class room but nowhere near the ridiculous prices. But i never asked. I dont know how you'd go about checking in 2 people with 3 seats!

Honestly I don't care if it's progressives or Mega golf balls... it's really not cool at all in my book. It accomplishes nothing and it just makes you look bad and everyone associated with you.
