The airline Delta is investigating their handling of the incident.
A man on a Delta flight on Tuesday went on a pro-Trump rant, telling passengers, "We got some Hillary bitches on here," according to widely-shared video on social media.
The video was posted on Facebook by Emma Baum, who appeared to be a passenger on the Delta flight from Atlanta to Allentown, Pennsylvania.
"Didn't take long to notice that I'm back in 'Merica...," Baum wrote in her post.
The video has since received more than a million views and been shared thousands of times.
A Delta spokesperson told BuzzFeed News Friday that they were investigating the incident.
"We are sorry this disruption occurred," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Our crews work hard to ensure flying is comfortable for all of our customers. We are currently investigating the incident."
The video showed the man mid-rant, appearing to ask passengers if they voted for Trump or Clinton. "Donald Trump, baby!" the man was heard saying. He then pointed to another passenger saying, "That's right, this man knows what's up."

"Donald Tump! He's your president, every goddamn one of you. If you don't like it, too bad," the man said before taking his seat.
He was reportedly taken away by flight attendants for "at least 15 minutes" before he returned to his seat, the Daily Mail reported Baum as saying.
Baum did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
