Why a Trump-Backing Tow Truck Driver Says He Refused Service to a Sanders Supporter

Live by Identity Politics, die by Identity Politics.
“Every business dealing in recent history that I’ve had with a socialist-minded person, I haven’t got paid,” Shupe told the station.
He added: “Every time I’ve dealt with these people in recent history, I get ‘Berned.’
“With an ‘e,’ not a ‘u.’ ”
So Shupe refused to tow her.
“He said ‘I can’t tow you, you’re a Bernie supporter,’ ” the woman, Cassandra McWade, told The Post on Thursday. “And I was like, ‘Wait, are you serious?’ ”
He was.
So it was not just politics, but recent experience.
Fox Carolina reported: “When he saw ‘a bunch of Bernie Sanders stuff’ he said he told the woman, ‘very politely,’ ” that he could not “tow her car because she was ‘obviously a socialist’ and advised her to ‘call the government’ for a tow.”
Now that’s comedy.
Shupe told the ABC station that he’d had “some horrible experiences in the last six months with towing cars for this mindset individuals,” in which, he said, he hasn’t received payment for services.
“They want to argue about a $50 tow bill, and it turns into just a drama and a fuss,” he said, according to WLOS. “And I said, you know, I’m not going to associate with them, and I’m not going to do any business with them.”
Hoist with their own you-know-what.

Refusing a tow will become as illegal as baking a cake.

On the other hand, consider: Can you imagine a supporter of Jeb Bush, or Kasich, or Chris Christie, doing such a thing?
