A comedian on Friday told the full story of her recent encounter with former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whom she says stole her seat aboard an Alaska Airlines flight from New York to San Francisco when he was bumped.
Julie Klausner, known for the Hulu sitcom "Difficult People," said the Republican was an obnoxious flight companion on her podcast, How Was Your Week?
She said a pilot needed to fly last-minute aboard the plane and bumped Kasich out of his seat, according to Cleveland.com. But instead of taking the downgraded seat he was assigned, the former presidential candidate took the comedians, the outlet reported.
Klausner, who identifies as a liberal, said once she read up on Kasich and his political views she decided to post about the incident on Twitter.
The funny thing about it is when I tweeted about it, I realized people on both sides hate him, Klausner says. Because I guess Republicans hate him because hes like, you know, not fascist enough, and then obviously people on our side hate him because hes just a bad person.
Just having interacted with him or interacted near him, I never met anyone so d-----y and obnoxious and just dripping with disdain for people who in his mind arent as important as he is. I hope he I dont know. I hope he goes away forever. He s---s.
