Seething Bill O'Reilly is seen threatening JetBlue worker as his flight to Turks and Caicos was delayed for FIVE HOURS
[MAIL] Hot-headed Bill O’Reilly threatened an airline worker who was trying to help when the former Fox News host's flight was delayed for hours.

'You're going to lose your job.' the 72-year-old told the JetBlue worker at New York's JFK airport in video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

O'Reilly, who has a history of easily losing his temper, was on his way to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean on the morning of Sunday, April 3.

Dressed in a light jacket, rumpled pants and bright white sneakers, the 6ft. 4in. conservative commentator towers over the airline worker in the video snapped by a fellow passenger.

'What you're gonna do...it's three hours late,' he says. He can then be heard saying: 'No, no, no, You're gonna find out,' jabbing his finger aggressively at the airline employee.

When the employee says something, O'Reilly responds:'You f***ing scumbag. Don't talk to me like that.'

#1 Going off on a $45,000 per year JetBlue gate agent, a true touch of class.

#3 I've always disliked O'Really, he's never been a real conservative and he always felt the same way the other so called reporters are. Too bad the airline worker didn't call security so he could have a hickory shampoo.

*whack*
"Do you know who I am?"
*whack whack whack* "Hell yeah, why do you think I'm hitting you?"

#4 Lame to threaten the worker, but 5 hours is a long delay.

#6 The idea that you could argue with a gate agent and get the “scumbag” to substantially reduce a flight delay has never occurred to a sucker like me. I would have just read a book and ate a hotdog not realizing that there was a potential avenue of expressing the logistics, maintenance and staffing of a large aircraft that I would later board.

#7 Like to think I know places, but had to look up this destination. Pretty nifty. Worth yelling down on someone who couldn't afford one night there, nevermind travel expenses, I'm sure.

Hello Jet-Blue flight desk workers
Like to thank you for your time
Work a 40 hour week for a living,
Hearing rich talk coconut and lime.

#9 Book: Killing O'Reilly. Miss Comer
Recites the executive summary:
"I did it myself!
Here I sit on the shelf,
Just a cluster of bluster and flummery."
