Agreed. However, there have been similar incidents in which Trump supporters have been kicked off planes for harassing fellow passengers. There's intolerance on the right and left. We could play the victim game and post supporting videos all day, but doing so provides no basis for substantive discussion about national politics and policy.
I'm an aware of only one incident by a Trump supporter like you mention. I can think of many incidents where Trump supporters responded to attacks, but did not instigate any other than the one incident on the Delta flight. But the attacks and false stories initiated by anti Trump people are nearly endless. Behold the results of these google searches ... go deep, many pages into the search ... what do you see ? anti trump person removedTrump supporter removed from airplanepro trump riotersThis one is especially endearing ... NYPD arrest Muslim woman who claimed attack by Trump supportersYou may have seen the story about her attack, but you probably missed the one about her arrest as did most of the world who only saw the initial story and have used it to further the justification for their hate of Trump. This one sums up a lot ... PRO-TRUMP 'VIOLENCE' CLAIMS FABRICATEDOn one hand, there are reports of pro-Trump violence. A female Muslim student at the University of Louisiana claimed two white men wearing Trump hats ripped off her hijab and stole her wallet the day after the election. Gay Canadian filmmaker Chris Ball claimed he was severely beaten and bloodied by Trump supporters in Santa Monica, California, shortly after the election. The young Muslim woman later admitted to police she had fabricated her story, and evidence of Chris Ball’s attack has not been confirmed by local police or hospitals. ... The anti-Trump violence has not been confined to mass demonstrations. Video also surfaced of a group of young black men in Chicago beating up a white man because he supposedly voted for Trump. The attackers even drove away in the man’s vehicle while his hand was stuck in the window, dragging him down the street. A California high school girl who supported Trump also got beaten up by a girl who accused her of hating Mexicans. Cell phone videos captured that incident. ... “The big lesson post-Trump is that every single reporter who misreported Trump from the day he announced – they misreported his ideas, they misreported his viability, they misreported everything,” he said. “There’s no humility there. They don’t care. They just picked up the day after the election as if they had not totally misreported the biggest story of our lifetimes. “So they’re going to continue, and as a result the people they write for or report for are going to lose more and more audience, like the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and the people who run these media outlets don’t seem to care that they’re responsible for misreporting stuff day in and day out. It doesn’t seem to matter to them, and people are just turning away from these places.”
I will disagree with the bolded to a certain extent. People are using it for their own confirmation bias and using it to go out and riot, destroy property and torture people as did that group in Chicago who tortured that disabled white teenager. These shameless lies called news reports are being used as the justification to hate and hurt people. These reporters liars do not consider themselves culpable which is the real crime and they are getting away with it. . So with all the hate and rioting going on that has been initiated by the wonderfully tolerant liberal left, where is all the rioting going on from the terribly intolerant conservatives ? In fact can you show me any examples of conservatives rioting ?

Immigration Ban Is Unlikely to Reduce Terrorist Threat, Experts SayRarely does an executive order announce a more straightforward and laudable purpose than the one President Trump signed on Friday: “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States.” But the president’s directive is unlikely to significantly reduce the terrorist threat in the United States, which has been a minuscule part of the overall toll of violence since 2001. Many experts believe the order’s unintended consequences will make the threat worse.

President Trump’s first seven days of false claims, inaccurate statements and exaggerationsRegular readers know that candidate Donald Trump had difficulty with facts. He earned an astonishing 59 Four-Pinocchio ratings over the course of the campaign. Now that Trump is president, he continues to make misleading statements, based on incomplete information, inaccurate statistics or flights of fancy. Here’s an accounting of his public statements in the first seven days as president, not counting his error-plagued inauguration speech (which had eight problematic claims). If we wrote a full fact check, we noted the number of Pinocchios the statement received. ‘Up Is Down’: Trump’s Unreality Show Echoes His Business Past
....
Yet even jaded connoisseurs of Oval Office dissembling were astonished over the last week by the torrent of bogus claims that gushed from President Trump during his first days in office.
We’ve never seen anything this bizarre in our lifetimes, where up is down and down is up and everything is in question and nothing is real,” said Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity and the author of “935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America’s Moral Integrity,” a book about presidential deception.
...
But for students of Mr. Trump’s long business career, there was much about President Trump’s truth-mangling ways that was familiar: the mystifying false statements about seemingly trivial details, the rewriting of history to airbrush unwanted facts, the branding as liars those who point out his untruths, the deft conversion of demonstrably false claims into a semantic mush of unverifiable “beliefs.” Mr. Trump’s falsehoods have long been viewed as a reflexive extension of his vanity, or as his method of compensating for deep-seated insecurities. But throughout his business career, Mr. Trump’s most noteworthy deceptions often did double duty, serving not just his ego but also important strategic goals. Mr. Trump’s habitually inflated claims about his wealth, for example, fed his self-proclaimed image of a business genius even as they attracted lucrative licensing deals built around the Trump brand. ...
“In a democratic government, there must be truth in order to hold elected officials accountable to their sovereign, which is the people,” Mr. Schmidt said. “All authoritarian societies are built on a foundation of lies and alternative facts, and what is true is what the leader believes, or what is best for the state.” Mr. Lewis argued that the president’s untruths were a deliberate strategy to position the nation’s leading news organizations as the enemy of his administration. “Fact-checking becomes an act of war by the media,” he said.

Canada to increase reproductive health funding as Trump orders cutCanada will increase its funding to international organizations that provide abortion-related services after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order blocking American funding for those services. In an interview with As It Happens guest host Helen Mann on Friday, Minister of International Development Marie-Claude Bibeau said the Liberal government would support a Dutch-led initiative to fund international programs supporting women's reproductive health. "I think that restricting the access to abortion does not reduce abortion. It only increases the number of unsafe abortions and it endangers the lives of women," Bibeau said. (...)

Trump-style politics incites passions and strong opinions. There are bound to be serious disagreements about Trump and his policies here. It will be a challenge not to harangue each other as that woman was haranguing the guy on the plane, but it'll be a worthwhile challenge.
For you maybe, but I feel no urge to harangue anyone, disagree sure, but when you cross the line on a personal level in political discourse it no longer has anything to do with politics or opinions at all, you are now talking about poor individual character in dealing with others.
