Censorship in the Air! Ann Coulter forced to change seat.

Rejected submission by aristarchus at 2017-07-16 22:29:10 from the Ann-Coulter-has-no-rights dept.

In that continuing war to silence right-wing people, Delta Airlines had the audacity to move alt-right sweetheart Ann Coulter to a seat that was other than the one she selected.

"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked?

[submitter note: evidently this this is part of something called a "tweet". I cannot link "tweets", because of religion.]

As reported in the Washington Post [washingtonpost.com] (that is, the Washington DC newspaper not owned by Moonies), Coulter came down harsh on the airline.

Coulter didn’t just slam Delta for moving her from her “PRE-BOOKED seat” with extra leg room (to another seat in the same row, according to the airline). She also documented the experience in photos and tweet after tweet, which she shared with her 1.6 million followers, not to mention the wider spectrum of people fascinated by things Ann Coulter does.

Clearly an instance of leftist airline attempts to censor the right. Could Ms. Coulter have been flying to give a talk at a liberal college campus? It's possible. Could this have been a ploy to make her miss a connecting flight, and so be unable to give the talk? Maybe.

Coulter is known for saying things, however, and she has had things to say about airlines moving, or even re-moving, people from their seats of choice. More WaPo:

Back when nearly everyone else on the planet seemed outraged at United Airlines over the violent de-seating of a paying passenger, Ann Coulter, as she so often does, shared her own unique take.

“Sorry about the dragging,” she wrote in April. “But convicted pill-mill doctor should be deported.”

The bloodied passenger had a criminal history and immigrated from Vietnam, you see.

This false equivalency between a famous right-wing TV person and an immigrant shows just how far the left will go in their nefarious attempt to silence true patriots. I call for legislatures around the country, but especially that of the Grate States of Illinois, Tennessee, Colorado and Arizona, [npr.org] to pass laws to make it illegal for anyone to make Ann Coulter change seats on an airplane, or any other public transport. Ann is the Rosa Parks of the Alt-right movement!
