A viral TikTok out of Oregon shows a tow truck driver for the American Automobile Association, or AAA, apparently refusing to tow a customer’s car because it sported a bumper sticker supporting President-elect Joe Biden.
The driver was working for River’s Edge Automotive and Towing, a Dalles, Oregon-based company that works with AAA, the Oregonian reports. The TikTok, uploaded by user Nate Estes (@estesnate), shows the driver glowering in the direction of the camera and shedding his reflective safety jacket as he enters his truck. Estes and a friend get a shot of the truck’s license plate before the driver takes off.
“Hi, don’t know this mans [sic] name but he refused service to us for our Biden bumper sticker and tried to run us over shortly after this video,” the caption reads.
The video spread quickly online, as many people voiced their concern over the AAA driver willingly abandoning people on the side of the road.

all of a sudden I see dozens of Groper Joe stickers here, but that’s alright, at least I know which ones to key (j/k)
I’m thinking there’s more to this story, or it’s a Fake.
And if the reverse would have happened? I bet the driver would still be employed with AAA. As it is, while there may be details we’re missing here, in short the AAA driver screwed up.
He just has to claim he felt threatened by the other car’s hate.
They cancel us...so we can cancel them.
Let the Biden supporter recant his support for CRT, BLM, and rules which force Christians to bake “wedding” cakes for faggots...and then he can have service.
Methinks your fake instincts are correct my FRiend. ;)
I dont see the problem here.
Customer didn’t get service and made their point (on media).
Driver didn’t like the customer’s message and made his point (by not towing).
Business didn’t like the Drivers message and made their point (by firing).
Everybody exercised their 1st amendment rights. Freedom of speech and freedom of peaceful assembly .... to make their point.
No rioting, burning, assaults or other criminal activity so recently associated with the Nazi/Antifa/Socialist movement.
I’m thinking that too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy tow truck driver was sent out to help said or did something that created the problem.
Was it a AAA call-out, or not?
Tow drivers contracted with AAA do other jobs besides the calls they get to serve AAA subscribers.
The “inside baseball” to this story pertains to the specifics of AAA’s contract with how companies. FOR EXAMPLE: Tow companies contracted with AAA MUST paint their rigs with a AAA-approved paint scene, which features yellow as the dominant color.
Since the trucks exhibit the AAA brand, no surprise that driver behavior is governed by AAA guidelines.
> AAA has fired this driver. <
As well they should. It is highly unlikely that the stranded motorist was involved in the ongoing election fraud. He is a Biden supporter because he is either stupid or uninformed.
If AAA denied service to people who did stupid things, their client base would be down to just a handful of folks.
Tow them to a repair shop—deep in the hood!
I wonder if the car was not covered under the policy or some other issue. Poor tow truck driver is toast in any case. Cannot refuse to serve the “elect,” even if they have not paid for service.
Do they have pics of him “trying to run them over?”
Biden isn’t “President-elect.”
No one is, yet.
The media keep pushing that BS. For obvious reasons.
So Twitter and Facebook actively censoring and discriminating against conservatives is just fine, but an independent contractor chooses to discriminate against liberals and the tears begin.
We live in the area...we believe the guy is a Mexican American
Maybe if the tow truck driver broke their windows and set the car on fire, and claims he supports BLM, he’d still have his job.
