Video obtained and published by Daily Mail this week shows No Spin News host Bill O’Reilly in a heated discussion with a Jet Blue worker after his and many other passengers’ flights were delayed with little to no explanation, something O’Reilly told Mediaite is a bigger problem than just the one flight, and it’s being ignored by the company and the current administration.
O’Reilly was making his way to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean when the video was shot earlier this month by an onlooker at the airport.
The specifics of the exchange between O’Reilly and the JetBlue worker are difficult to make out in the video, but the author and former Fox News host can be heard saying that his flight is three hours late. O’Reilly can also be heard demanding the employee find out what’s going on.
The exchange escalates when the employee accuses O’Reilly of threatening violence, something he immediately denies. When O’Reilly is trying to look at the employee’s name tag, he can be heard saying, “you’re lucky I don’t put my fist through it.”
