Former Ohio governor John Kasich has been shamed for stealing another passenger's first class seat on an Alaska Airlines flight after being bumped out of his own to make room for a pilot.
Kasich, 66, was flying from JFK in New York to San Francisco on January 16 - two weeks after handing over the governorship and his access to state planes to Mark DeWine - when he took comedian Julie Klausner's seat.
According to Klausner, who shared details of their run-in on Twitter and later in a podcast, Kasich had been behaving 'like an a**hole' long before they even boarded the plane and was talking obnoxiously on his cell phone in the airline's first class lounge.
He got on the plane first and, according to Klausner, was told that he could not sit in his seat because it had been given to a pilot who had been scheduled to fly at the other end of the journey at the last minute.
To make sure the pilot would get enough sleep during the 6 hour flight, he was given Kasich's more comfortable seat and the politician was told he would have to sit in the premium economy cabin. He was bumped out instead of anyone else because, according to Klausner, he paid the least for his ticket.
Comedian Julie Klausner uploaded this photograph of Kasich in her seat as she stood at the front of the plane, discussing with flight attendants how to proceed, on January 16. Kasich sat in it while it was empty after being kicked out of his own to make room for a pilot. He had been told to go to premium economy, according to Klausner, but refused
Klausner tweeted about the incident immediately after it happened on January 16 then discussed it on her podcast
But instead of moving, the Republican politician simply moved into Klausner's seat, thinking it was empty then, she said, made a phone call to a friend where he allegedly complained about pilot while he was in earshot.
By the time she got on on the plane, he had settled in and, she claims, did nothing as she and the airline staff stood in front of him trying to find a solution.
Unaware of who he was, Klausner offered to take a later flight because, she said, she did not want the airline staff to confront Kasich again and 'make a stink'.
She says she had already been told that he was 'rude and condescending' to staff and that she did not want to make a 'tense' situation worse given her anxiety over flying.
Julie Klausner, the comedian, took a later flight instead of insisting that Kasich get out her seat. She then tweeted about it and discussed the incident on her podcast
Kasich, who served two terms as the Governor of Ohio and is now a CNN senior political commentator, has not commented. The incident happened two weeks after he left office and turned over his access to state aircraft
Klausner said she only learned who he was after texting a photograph of the politician to a friend.
She then put a photograph of Kasich sitting in her seat on her Instagram story and promptly took to Twitter to relay the whole debacle to her fans.
Kasich, a Trump opponent and staunch pro-lifer, was served as the Governor of Ohio from 2011 until 2019.
He endorsed his replacement, Rep. Mark DeWine, last year. Since leaving office, he has taken a position as a senior political commentator at CNN.
According to Klausner, when he was talking on the phone in the airline lounge, he said, 'loudly': 'The people at CNN were so nice.'
Speaking on her podcast, she said she assumed he was a 'douchebag businessman' who wanted people to hear that he had been at the network.
She later described him as a 'f****** piece of s*** a**hole' and claimed the airline staff 'vented' to her for '15 minutes' about how much they hated him and people like him.
'They were basically saying, we just say that guys like this push people around and they get what they want,' she said.
Kasich, who ran against President Trump in the 2015 Republican nomination race, did not respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries on Wednesday morning and he has not commented on the incident since it happened.
An Alaska Airlines spokesman would not confirm all of the details of her account but told Cleverland.com: 'We’re very appreciative to Ms. Klausner for helping diffuse an awkward situation by voluntarily giving up her seat.
'We made sure to take care of her on another flight.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
