There are reports that he did say this. Maybe he should have asked whether anyone knew his relative who is a DL employee and allowed him to use his/her travel benefits (dependent pass resulting in a D1 seat).

He actually said it:

A flight attendant smashed two wine bottles over his head in an attempt to stop him, and one even broke over his head; he didn’t seem impacted, and simply responded with “do you know who I am?”

I once tried to break one and could not do so hitting it against concrete. I had to take a hammer to it.
