Disgusting Delta 'WOKE' Airlines bans UBL shooter Rob O'Neill, NYT editor piles on
2020-08-24
[PJ] Delta Airlines has banned retired Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, who was part of Operation Neptune Spear, the mission that killed Osama bin Laden. Delta reportedly banned O’Neill for failing to wear his mask on board, even though he was eating and drinking at the time. The mask mob came to get him anyway.
Forgive me, but every time I see a photo or teevee interview of this guy, the spirt of slap simply overwhelms me.
It appears that posting a maskless photo with the saying "I’m not a p*ssy" is what put the airline over the edge, resulting in O’Neill being banned. No one noticed, much less objected to O’Neill on the flight at the time.

New York Times editor Dan Saltzstein amplified the tweet, saying that he didn’t know O’Neill but — and this part is unbelievable — "...you’re not willing to sacrifice and be a little uncomfortable for your fellow humans (including that marine [sic] behind you)!"

#7  My father hated Delta with a passion and that was well over 30 years ago; looks like nothing's changed.

#6  Looks like he might be sitting in bus class. Not many heads bobbing behind him. Gratitude in abundance, NOT !

"We know you have a choice in airlines. Thank you for flying Delta."

#3  Not a favorite of mine, but he's a prominent, conservative figure. Had it been anyone else, it's very likely nothing would have happened. Delta left the air and jumped onto the virtue signalling train.

#2  To be honest, it's a good idea to wear masks on planes.

Everywhere else they are just for show.
