A man traveling on a Delta Airlines flight was unable to travel after being removed from the flight for an alleged violation of Delta’s clothing and apparently policy. The bewildered man appears to get conflicting signals from the flight crew involved and the Delta help desk.
Recently, a male passenger traveling on a Delta Airlines flight was kicked off for wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with the now infamous F*** Joe Biden slogan. The man, who captured much of the incident on film and shared it on TikTok, had taken the sweatshirt off but was still forced to deplane and threatened with a lifetime ban on Delta.
Interestingly, the man later communicated with a Delta Airlines representative via the Delta mobile app and shared the exchange online. Unsurprisingly, there was some confusion regarding the official policy. Despite the inconsistent response from the help desk agent, most airlines, Delta included, have a contract of carriage policies that accommodate passenger removal for offensive clothing.
In this case, unlike the oblique reference to the president in the related slogan, “Let’s Go Brandon” this sweatshirt literally said <expletive> Joe Biden, making a much stronger case for removal of the passenger under the offensive clothing policy.

Oh, come on, Delta – if someone wants to advertise that they’re a limp-dick conservative with no ability for original thoughts, I say they should be able to advertise that fact via their clothes. Makes life easier for the rest of us!
If you want to convince family and friends that you are in fact a dumb ass just says
“I voted for Binden”
And you are a stupid liberal . I guess you like how the democrats are destroying the country and coming after your rights . Ahhhh your rich , yeah you don’t give a dam because the rich think they are better and smarter than normal people . You suck
Get that racist, homophobe, transphobe White Supremacist Russian agent off the plane now!
Not liking Biden makes you all of these automatically. gotcha. Who is the one who holds prejudice against a group of people for having a different belief than you. you also called a Black guy racist against his people. I am not saying I agree with shirt, but I think you were born special
While having the “F” word on in public is offensive to me they should have ignored him. I think it borders on 1st amendment right infringement and he certainly couldn’t be removed from the airport on this basis. Because it’s a political statement it re-inforces the first amendment issue. It’s always interesting to see airline agents make up rules.
@daninmci — he can’t be arrested for this by the police, because of the first amendment; however, Delta can certainly throw him off their airplane. When you fly you are the airline’s guest. The first amendment is a protection for all of us from the government censorship. Companies and individuals do not have to follow the first amendment. Although it’s nice if they are at least somewhat tolerant, it is not legally required.
Likewise, your employer can fire you for swearing too, and I can throw you out of my house if you say even one thing I don’t like. that’s the law.
While I COMPLETELY stand behind your right to free speech I would disagree with your lack of respect for others. I am uncomfortable with this language and I’m certain there were children on the plane as well. Standing up for our rights goes much further when it is respectful. Being offensive lowers our credibility. Spoken from a loving mom.
Guess our fortune 50 company will ban employees from flying Delta or United airlines. Let them go bankrupt someone else will replace them.
I still believe a posting of an IQ test score as the easiest wAy to identify trumpers and reduce our exposure to to their ignorance and culture. Any such score less then 80 presumes one to be a trumper. Done!
I quit flying after 9-11 because it’s too much of a hassle, if I can’t get there by car, I don’t go.
I’m sure If the wording on his shirt was saying “ Fuck Trump “ he will be escorted to the first class. Liberal taking away our freedom and ignoring the constitution.
