United Airlines ejected a Trump fan from a Newark-bound international flight over the weekend after the man allegedly laid claim to other people's seats.
The Saturday flight from Shanghai hadn't gotten off the ground when, according to a software engineer who shared his experience on Facebook, the man wearing a Make America Great Again hat decided to make his stand. "He insists that, because he couldn't get an upgrade, he's entitled to all three seats next to him even though they're assigned to somebody else," passenger Clark Gredoña wrote.
He continued, "Captain, crew, and airport staff come over. Man threatens that they'll have to drag him off the plane. He finally relents, but not before berating some female passengers and crew, calling one passenger 'Hillary' (lol) and 'lesbian.'"
All the passengers had to deplane in Shanghai before local police escorted him off, according to Gredoña.
A clip obtained by NBC shows a boisterous crowd at the gate holding up cameras to film the man's exit and chanting, "Lock him up!"
