Regardless of which candidate you’re voting for, what you wear in public and on an aircraft should not have offensive messages. While free speech goes far, it doesn’t cover clothing that an airline deems inappropriate based on its policies. One passenger traveling on Delta Air Lines from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) found this out when he boarded a flight with a t-shirt whose message was offensive.

The passenger is seen being escorted off of the flight and sporting a shirt that depicts Donald Trump giving the middle finger with the slogan, “Hawk Tuah Spit On That Thang.” The man was apparently asked to turn his shirt inside out before boarding. He did, but flipped it around when at his seat.

Anthony’s Take: Delta did the right thing here. This is not an issue of a political candidate, but more about the sexual innuendo and inoffensive gesture on the shirt.

How outrageous. Cabin Crew shouldn’t be able to make a dress code on the fly. This is mildly offensive, but no more so than many rock or rap t-shirts that people fly with everyday. Thinking that this is a content neutral policy is highly naive, perhaps purposely so.
