Bianca Del Rio and Ann Coulter bash each other in social media feud
the political commentator made headlines for live tweeting her flight
Ann Coulter’s Twitter rantĀ against Delta Airlines became a social media feud with Bianca Del Rio after Del Rio called the political commentator a “rotten c*nt.”
Coulter took to Twitter to blast Delta for giving away her pre-booked, extra-room seat to another passenger on her flight fromĀ New York to West Palm Beach, Fla.
Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Delta gate staff give your seat away.

“Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?’ Flight attendant: “I don’t know.ā pic.twitter.com/a0M1faZXMu

Coulter also fired at the woman who was given Coulter’s original seat by insinuating that she thought the woman was an immigrant. Delta responded by calling Coulter’s comments “unacceptable and unnecessary.”
So why is our middle & working class suffering? NOT ROBOTS! Globalism & mass immigration. Immigrants take American jobs (& seats on @Delta). https://t.co/bsCYrW7boS

@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

Del Rio made it clear she was taking Delta’s side in the situation with an Instagram post calling Coulter a “rotted c*nt.”
Coulter commented on the post saying, āOf course @thebiancadelrio is being very āāclassyā as always. Hate me as much as you can.ā
Del Rio fired back commenting, “Yes, I am ‘classy.’ FIRST classy.”
Delta has since refunded Coulter her $30 to compensate for the seat she originally purchased.
