Conservative pundit Ann Coulter unleashed a tweetstorm on Delta Air Lines on Saturday night, complaining about being moved out of a particularseat with extra legroom that she pre-booked.

In one tweet Coulter refers to Delta as the worst airline in America.

Coulter had booked a preferred seat in the exit row with extra legroom and was moved to a different seat in the same exit row, according to Delta.

Although Atlanta-based Delta has a mostly non-union workforce with pilots as the only major unionized employee group, Coulter asked: Does your union hate you, @Delta?

Delta responded via Twitter with an apology.

The airline moved Coulter from an aisle seat in the exit row to a window seat in the same row on the other side of the aisle, according to Delta. The airlinesaid it is sorry she did not receive the seat she reserved and paid for, andwill refund the $30 extra Coulter paid for the preferred seat.

Coulter also posted a photo of the passenger she said was given her seat.

Coulter on a fellow passenger:

In addition to the apology to Coulter, Delta issued a statement Sunday saying we are disappointed that the customer has chosen to publicly attack our employees and other customers by posting derogatory and slanderous comments and photos in social media. Her actions are unnecessary and unacceptable.

Delta expects mutual civility throughout the entire travel experience, Delta said in its statement.

On Sunday, Coulter tweeted further on the Delta incident.
