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.”

99.9% of SEO is a scam anyway, so the alt-left fool is doing us a favor by ripping off other alt-left fools. And web designers are dime a dozen.

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

Claim that you’re a queer Trump supporter. The company will have no choice but to serve you.

He has the right to refuse service. We have the right to refuse custom.

Dumb*ss nobody from my home town, and in my industry.

Did not think about his other clients being shy that they are now associated with his arrogance.

So the “moral” and “just” thing would have been to vote for the Pro-Abortionist Hillary Clinton?

He just Darwined his company from the marketplace. In time, it will die.

Or so they say, until they discover the bite taken is yuge and bigly.
