An angry MAGA supporter was escorted off a Delta Airlines flight for wearing a T-shirt that featured Donald Trump giving the middle finger along with an obscene reference to the “hawk tuah” girl video.
A video posted to the Reddit group r/delta captured the moment the irate man was removed from the plane at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport in Florida on Saturday morning.
In the clip, the irate traveler can be seen wearing a black T-shirt featuring an image of Trump wearing American flag sunglasses and making the thumbs-up gesture with both hands.
Above the image of the former president, the words ‘HAWK TUAH’ appear written in giant white letters.

The bottom of the shirt reads: “Spit on that thing,” a lewd reference to the viral video in which Hailey Welch mimicked the sound of spitting during oral sex.
“They’re kicking me out because of my shirt,” the man tells fellow passengers as he walks down the aisle with his suitcase.
“And this is your report,” he says, jerking his thumb in the direction of the flight attendant.
He then reads the name tag of the Delta employee who escorts him off the plane.

“Stupid Wendy,” he scoffs.
As she disembarks from the plane, she says, “Thanks, Wendy.”
According to Reddit user SKBeachGirl, who posted the video, they were “sitting next to a young man before boarding who was wearing a Trump shirt with middle fingers.”
At one point, an airline employee approached the man by his shirt.
He was told someone had complained and that he had to change his shirt or he wouldn’t be allowed to board, the Reddit user explained.
Under Delta’s contract of carriage, the airline reserves the right to refuse transportation to an individual whose clothing “creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers.”

“She turned her shirt around and we all climbed aboard,” SKBeachGirl wrote.
“The next thing I knew, just before takeoff, a Delta employee boarded the plane and escorted him off the flight,” they continued.
“He had turned his shirt over to the sticker side,” the Reddit user revealed.
In the comments section, many people were quick to defend the airline’s actions.
“A private company imposes a dress code. Seems easy enough,” one user wrote.
“I was probably kicked out because my shirt had middle fingers showing. I see a lot of MAGA shirts when I fly,” one person commented.
