New Delhi [India], July 17 (ANI): Author Ann Coulter sparked a row on Twitter after she said the airline moved her from a pre-booked, "extra room" seat and gave it to another woman. Coulter bawled out against the company on Twitter, calling Delta the "worst airline in America". According to her, they had given her seat to a person who was neither old, nor a child, nor sick, nor an "air marshall or a tall person." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">If <a href="https://twitter.com/Delta">@Delta</a> employees were not so HONORABLE & TRUSTWORTHY, I would have said this is an outright lie.
