on video cursing at and threatening a JetBlue worker — then denying he did that and attempting to blame the worker — at JFK Airport in New York after his flight was delayed by several hours.In the video, filmed earlier this month by another passenger, the former Fox News host can be seen going back and forth with an airport employee about a Turks and Caicos-bound flight.
