The tale of a notorious YouTube hoaxster who claimed to be kicked off a Delta flight for speaking Arabic turned out to be the latest in a growing series of false accusations of bias made in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory.
Serial prank artist Adam Saleh set the Internet aflame Wednesday when he posted the clip of himself being asked to leave the flight because he “spoke a different language” — but his story quickly fell apart.
“You guys are racist. I cannot believe my eyes. I cannot believe it,” Saleh pleads in the video.
“I spoke a word in a different language and you say you feel uncomfortable?”
The hoaxster asked his Internet followers to spread the video, but as the story spread it was revealed that Saleh, had hatched a similar prank in the past. 0:03 / 1:28
In 2014, Saleh was forced to admit that a video that purported to show racial profiling by the NYPD was faked. The fraudster apologized to the Muslim community and claimed the video was a “ dramatization.”
The prankster’s story continued to unravel when Delta released a statement, backed up by fellow passengers, that Saleh and his partner were removed “after a disturbance in the cabin.”
After collecting more information, Delta followed up with another statement saying the duo engaged in “provocative behavior, including shouting.” The overwhelming evidence did not stop the determined con artist from spreading the hoax. The video was retweetd 827,000 times on Twitter as of Thursday night.
Saleh’s video was just one post-election incident of racial-bias allegations that went up in smoke.

You-Tube star?
YouTube should block his channel and block him from monetizing his videos after this. You shouldn’t be making money off of hate crime hoaxes.
Speaking durka, durka is aggression. Period.
You Tube is owned by Google. They will promote his video.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
A commercial pilot has an unassailable right to order anyone removed from a flight at any time. And that’s it. Not open to negotiation, challenge or discussion. The pilot has unfettered discretion in that regard.
Muzzies shouldn’t be allowed to fly in planes.
He needs to be sued, if possible. THAT will help him to stop this.
Maybe I've been living in gayworld too long, but does this mean we're talking about an Arab queer here?
No, not necessarily. They probably merely meant "Saleh and his partner in crime."
Regards,
Kinda an easy solution, place this clown and his posse on the no fly list.
Would like to see Delta she him successfully!!!
Hope Delta sues him successfully!
Serial prank artist???
Good God man....get a f%$^ing life !
It’s a little disgusting that the CNN fake news reporter Brian Stelter was able to retweet the Muslim man’s video and cause it to go viral, and he hasn’t even had to delete it, give any context about the likely hoax, tell the other side of the story, or apologize. Every day it seems CNN reporters sink further into the abyss of propagandizing rather than reporting news. At least the New York Post didn’t just buy this hoax without question.
All these libtards making these false accusations... They think they are helping their cause, that they are somehow denigration President-elect Trump and his supporters. Wrong. The rash of false claims has already become widespread enough people’s first reaction to any similar story/claim is skepticism. These libtards are actually enabling the fringe that might really want to do stupid things like this. They can now go out and hurl insults at libtards, muslims, gays, etc. with near impunity. No-one is going to believe it. Good plan libtards.
Can’t imagine why anyone would feel remotely uncomfortable sitting on an airplane next to someone yammering in some arabic dialect. Sorry Muslim SJW, it’s your own fault, and we’ve had enough of you and yours. There’s a new sheriff coming.
Nice quick correction, but making him a non-gender and incapable of reproducing wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
The Arab deviants have to flee to weak Western nations because their own governments go “Old Testament” on them. Even Christian African nations would do the same; they fear and respect God.
