Delta fired back at conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Sunday for what the airline called an unacceptable and unnecessary series of tweets after she was denied the seat she had pre-booked on a Saturday flight.

Coulter went ballistic on social media after she was moved from the aisle seat on a flight from New York to Palm Beach, Florida, to a window seat in the same exit row.

Her new seat was in the same row, just not the exact seat she had selected, a Delta spokesperson told TheWrap.

Delta Fires Back at Ann Coulter for Unacceptable Insults to Passengers, Crew

The commentator and best-selling author had tweeted a photo of the passenger who was seated in her pre-booked seat for an unexplained emergency and ripped the passenger in another tweet as the dachshund-legged woman.

The airline released a critical tweet to Coulter saying, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

@AnnCoulter Additionally, your insults about our other customers and employees are unacceptable and unnecessary.

The six-foot-tall Coulter had booked an aisle seat for the extra legroom during the flight from New York to Palm Beach, Florida.

Hey @Delta, she tweeted on Saturday. You mind telling me why it was an emergency to move someone else into the seat I had carefully chosen in advance and booked?

And then Coulter persisted by tweeting a photo of the woman even though she was not to blame for the seat reassignment.

Just when you think it's safe to fly them again, the worst airline in America is STILL: @Delta

Does your union hate you, @Delta? Not really worth spending all that money on planes when @Delta gate staff give your seat away.

"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @Delta?' Flight attendant: "I don't know. pic.twitter.com/a0M1faZXMu

.@Delta didnt give my extra room seat to an air marshall or tall person. Heres the woman given my PRE-BOOKED seat: pic.twitter.com/iDNB8xXXOd

Hey @Delta, you mind telling me why it was an "emergency" to move someone else into the seat I had carefully chosen in advance and booked?

Also, @Delta, your wifi doesn't work -- probably to prevent passengers from tweeting from the plane about how they're being treated.

.@JetBlue has free wifi and doesn't wantonly remove passengers from their assigned seats, booked in advance FOR A REASON. @Delta sucks.

So glad I took time investigate the aircraft & PRE-BOOK a specific seat on @Delta, so some woman could waltz at the last min & take my seat.

But at least @Delta was nice @ it, summarily snatching my ticket from my hand & ordering me to move w/o explanation, compensation or apology

Suckiest @Delta moved me from my PRE-BOOKED SEAT & gave it to some woman, not elderly, child, or sick. I have pictures so dont lie, @Delta!
