Politician Nicholas Letney has gained immense traction on Twitter after screaming slurs at travelers at the Seattle airport and leaving them uncomfortable. Meanwhile, internet users took to social media to slam the man in question.

The incident took place as passengers were boarding a flight between Seattle, Washington, and Sallas-Fort Worth, Texas. The video was posted on the Twitter page of the non-profit organization StopAntisemitism. In the video, Nicholas Letney was saluting and yelling - “Seig heil!” and “Heil Hitler.”

Netizens could also hear Nicholas Letney screaming at police officers who were attempting to arrest him. In the video, which has now gone viral, he also said:

“You ever heard of the First Amendment? You violated that ‘cause I’m a Nazi.”

One could also hear Letney shout:

“You’re a f**king alien. An alien and a reptilian.”

Who is Nicholas Letney?

According to his official website, Letney is the leader of a Christian Social group Christian Workers, author of History of The World, and one who boasts about being the “greatest bodybuilder of all time.”

He has also noted his political beliefs on his website. He claims to have come up with the idea of nationalizing apartment housing by reducing the rent to $250, nationalizing car repair shops by offering free car repairs, and providing free health care. On his website, he wrote:

“We do not support Bernie Sanders, the Democratic party, Barrack Obama, Kshama Sawant or the Socialist Alternative. We hate the Soviet Union (including Lenin Trotsky, and Stalin). We hate the Social Democrats in Europe.”

Letney also wrote on his website that Christian Workers believes that “atheism should be banned” and had strong, demeaning views of African Americans.

“Some black people should be exterminated… they should deport millions of blacks to Africa and ban blacks from Richmond and Nortfolk… Interacial s*x should be banned.”

As per his official Facebook account, he studied at Auburn Riverside High School and also attended Bonney Lake High School.

Netizens react to Letney's airport rant

Internet users could not believe that the man was screaming anti-Jew phrases in an airport.

The aforementioned incident is not the only instance of racism that has occurred in Washington. An unidentified Uber rider was restricted from using the ride-sharing platform after repeatedly using the N-word against the driver and physically assaulting him.

In the video, the woman can be seen arguing with a man. The fight between the two started after the driver was unable to provide the woman with a charger to plug in her phone, which was out of battery. Due to this, the woman yelled at the man:

Following this incident, Uber released a statement saying they don't support such rude behaviors and further added that the customer's account has been restricted on the ride-sharing platform.
