A United Airlines passenger wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat delayed his flight by several hours while yelling insults at others on board and refusing to sit in his assigned seat. Gredoña added that passengers were shouting “Lock him up!” as the man was escorted off the plane. “While boarding United flight 87, from Shanghai to Newark, a customer refused to comply with crew member instructions and became increasingly disruptive when asked to deplane the aircraft,” United told Fox News via email. In their statement, United also thanked its passengers and crew for their patience during the ordeal. “We’re grateful for the patience shown by our customers who endured the disruptive behavior of this passenger, as well as the exceptional poise and professionalism of our flight crew,” wrote the airline.
