A Delta Airlines passenger recorded video of an airline official kicking him off his flight and threatening him with being placed on the airline’s no-fly list if he didn’t comply.
Why? Because he was wearing a “F*** Biden” hoodie. And the Delta official also pointed out that he wasn’t wearing a mask — but the hoodie took center stage in videos the passenger posted to TikTok.

She adds that the decision is based on Delta “policy” and that “you cannot wear it.”
The airline official adds to Brooks that he also would be placed on the “no-fly list” if he doesn’t comply.
He then tells the Delta official that he needs to see the policy for himself, and she replies that they could look at the policy on a computer in the jetway. He then argues that he has the right to express himself under the First Amendment.
It isn’t clear on what date the interaction took place, but Brooks posted the first clip on Wednesday.
