Business owner refusing service to Trump supporters [Albuquerque]

There has been so much divisiveness in the two weeks since the presidential election, but an Albuquerque business is going a step further by refusing to have any dealings with Donald Trump supporters.

Matthew Blanchfield runs 1st in SEO, an Albuquerque-based internet marketing company. He's making his case pretty clear in a blog post, writing “if you are a Republican, voted for Donald Trump or support Donald Trump, in any manner, you are not welcome at 1st in SEO and we ask you to leave our firm."

In an interview with KOB Tuesday, Blanchfield said he has a moral obligation to stand up for what he believes is right and against injustice.

“It is my firm belief that we elected a fascist as our next president,” he said.

Blanchfield does admit there are no real means to weed out those unwelcomed clients. He hopes they would come forward on their own and then get out.

He's certainly not worried about the loss of business. Blanchfield has no guess as to how many clients he might lose, but he said one has left so far.

“The expense financially to me is immaterial,” he said. “Morality, justice and doing what's correct far supersedes financial gain for me.”

Trump isn’t “fascist.” He is into upsetting “fascist” applecarts, however, the ones that lefties have lately given us in abundance under Obama’s umbrella.

The ones calling him a mango Mussolini are projecting like cineplexes.

We really upset Mathew Blanchfield. Let’s all have
a group hug and figure out what we will do with the
rest of our lives.

It’s tempting, though better I’d think to take out a large ad in a major local paper pointing out that “well, we COULD sue... but we’d really rather just let the market do to you what it will.”

[bigbob]

Or don’t even tell him that,get them to accept your business and then just drive them nuts.

If there was any justice, he’d be forced to bake a cake for the inauguration.

Tucker Carlson interviewed this guy tonight. What a pompous POS. In this whole world, his view is the only correct one; everyone else is WRONG! And everyone else will SUFFER. He’ll see to that!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Or create a congratulatory website.

Brilliant marketing strategy on his part. This will make a compelling Harvard Biz School case study.

[HiTech RedNeck]

He will pout and squeeze his eyes shut, so that nobody else can see.

On Jan. 20th, the EEOC needs to pay this moron a visit, as well as the FBI, and those ho he has harmed by thins comment need to sue him for everything he has and I do mean EVERYTHING!

This moron needs to learn what the meaning of the word "FASCIST" means.....Trump isn't one.

[depressed in 06]

Or some Play-Doh.

Or, something less stable than C-4.

This guy, probably, thinks Wilson was a great President.

Find their website, send email and tell them you have 25 websites to optimize and you voted for Trump.

Their website is 1stinceo.com. However it now states:

Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Whoops, maybe all the libs are contracting with him.

I think he;s GAY.....explains a lot.

“Morality, justice and doing what’s correct far supersedes financial gain for me.”
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if we all knew “morality, justice” and “what’s correct” like this demi-god does?

Hopefully, he will fairly soon learn what "superseding financial gain" really means.

So much for small government.

I just don’t see how this would fall under the jurisdiction of the EEOC, the FBI or any apparatus of the federal government.

At their website there is a way to file a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Obvious discrimination based on political beliefs.

But of course bakers and florists must serve gay weddings...

Our local mom and pop Chinese restaurant has been giving away free cake celebrating Trump's win.
They are a liberals nightmare; small business owners (= greedy), legal immigrants from Ecuador selling Chinese food (cultural appropriation!), and Christian (Jesus Saves is on their sign).
