A pro-Donald Trump tow truck driver refused to a help a disabled customer stranded on Interstate 26 in Asheville, North Carolina on Monday because she supports Bernie Sanders.

"Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said, 'Get in the truck and leave,'" said Ken Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in Traveler's Rest, South Carolina. "And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed."

So, was the car disabled or the driver. Urinalists huh? Anyway, guess sometimes it sucks to support the opposition. He'll probably end up getting sued.

For what? Political Association is not a protected class.

God told him to, huh... I don’t think so! The witness is lousy.

I hope he’s ready for a lawsuit because you can be *damn* sure that this pig will claim to be “gay”...or black (no proof required,of course)...”transgendered”...or whatever.

Good grief. Even Jesus reached out to help sinners.

He likely feared for his safety knowing the leftist propensity for unpredictable violence.

Boycotting companies or refusing service to customers based on political and social positions is not going to go well for anyone, certainly not conservatives.

Boycott Chick Fil A all you like if you think their food or service is bad. But don't boycott them because the owner disagrees with you on gay marriage.

Similarly refuse to tow a guy if he appears drunk, threatens you, or looks like he can't pay. But don't refuse him service just because he's Got The Bern.

So this story has now morphed into a “pro Trump” tow truck driver and a “disabled” motorist. Gives an idea of just how hardcore the media is working to attempt to control the narrative. Previous article I’d seen about this situation simply said the small-business tow truck driver declined to tow a car with a Sanders sticker. Now the driver has become “disabled” and the tow truck driver has become “pro Trump”.

Then he drew a poop swastika on the car.

Smells like a hoax.

My guess is there is more to the story.

Oh, no! The motorist might have been a transgendered person.

Perhaps the one in need of a tow couldn’t come up with the $300 in CASH, as I was required a few years back.

People have a right to refuse service.

Ask the businesses and performers boycotting North Carolina because of the bathroom law.

Reading further down the article, the driver claims to have had a bad experience getting paid by the last two Bernie supporters he dealt with.

Still painting an entire group with a broad brush, but he claims it was a business decision.

Ok I’m sorry, but that was wrong.

Right, you charge him TRIPLE. That's called WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION, something the Sanders supporters should be cheering!
