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."

Not good behavior, and will be used against Trumpians. As a “Christian” he should not have left her on the side of the road. It would have been better to educate her on Bernie and Socialism in the cab on the way to the shop. Now she and her mom will hate Trump and love Bernie more, and will likely get a big payday on GoFundMe.

People have a right to refuse service.

Unless you're a Christian.

This is a good indication of how totally fed up normal people are these days. Good for him.

I don’t think so either.

If somebody needs help, you help them. Regardless of whom they support politically.

what an incredibly defeatist attitude. It actually works really well with Southern Governors and the bathroom laws and the gay rights laws and the religious rights laws. Your statement is flawed

I don’t understand this. Should doctors not operate on patients they disagree with politically? This is liberal behavior. He should have towed the car.

Sorry, unless she herself was physically disabled or in need of medical attention, the Tow Truck driver did nothing wrong.

This was stupid and gives ammo to the other side. We cant go down to the level that they do with us. We are better than they are.

she’s voting to make the country communist. I thought we were going to start hitting hard back at that. I don’t care at all about what he did. and if it was a family member or a friend and I would die laughing.

Well, I’ve stopped putting political messages on my vehicle for fear of backlash, so I can’t say it bothers me THAT much to hear about a wretched communist getting what they deserve. Hope to hear about a lot more of it, as far as that goes. You got to get in their faces and punch back hard.

Lol. We can expect the press finding (or creating from whole cloth) these stories 24/7. That BAD Trump supporter = all Trump supporters. Cue song, ‘We’ve [substitute ‘They’ve’] Only Just Begun’

No no no. That’s what they count on. You’ve got to be willing to get down there in the mud and wrestle with the pig.

I'm guessing the real story is something like he spotted the sticker and guessed the driver would want the government to pay, so he asked for payment in advance.

A prudent thing to do given the circumstances.

For about $3.50 per month, she could have joined AAA and had the tow gratis as a membership benefit.

I think it is hilarious. As I said up a few posts, unless the driver was a disabled person or with medical needs, the driver did nothing wrong.

Interesting theology you have. Since it isn't a Christian directive (any more than baking a wedding cake for homosexuals), what religion are you espousing?

It may have been a bad move(if the story is even real), but I don’t think tow truck drivers take the Hippocratic oath.

I hesitate not to call B.S.

From now until November, strap yourself in for hundreds of stories that begin “Trump Supporter...” does X.

Hillary,

Hillar IT y.
Social Media.

She has spent $4 million upgrading her social media activism since her failed run against Obama, a virtual pushover in 2009.
