Business owner refusing service to Trump supporters [Albuquerque]
KOB TV ^ | 11/23/16

Posted on 11/23/2016 5:00:44 PM PST by markomalley

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.”

No, they should have to bake the cake. I don’t care if they say they don’t bake inauguration cakes for Republicans. If they don’t do it, they’re racists, and should be lynched.

This teaches the wrong lesson in the long run, however. That the game of life is about who can be the worst devil.

I don’t care. He should have to bake the cake, or be destroyed. No excuses.

God will care, and will mow you down with the rest of the hell bound evil doers if you set yourself doggedly enough against Him.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about liberal businesses. They have no place in our society.

Wouldn’t it be funny if every site that ever hired this guy suffered DOS attacks in perpetuity?

What if doctors, dentists refused to treat assholes and their families? Or lawyers to represent them? Just a thought.

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

Actually it might really be a good marketing strategy. He probably had no customers at all before this announcement and now he is getting all kinds of free publicity and can attract all the Trump Hating businesses for work.

In other words he hasn't lost any customers because he didn't have any to begin with.

He was interviewed by Tucker Carlson. He is seriously unhinged.
