It ain’t easy being a conservative these days. New reports are popping up every week about conservatives being denied service at restaurants and now even from a ride-sharing company solely because of their political beliefs.
Six Republican campaign volunteers have a similar story. They say they were kicked out of an Uber on Saturday in Raleigh, North Carolina, as their driver told them “welcome to the resistance.”
Mary Russell, a volunteer, and Chris Godbey, the Executive Director of the Young Republicans National Federation, sat down with the Daily Caller to share their horrifying experience.
Their crime? Talking politics amongst themselves in front of their driver — who apparently didn’t agree with their political views.

Then you contest the charge at uber and sue uber.
Ahhhhh. Tolerance
DOX THE DRIVER.
Leftist Americans taught us that this is patriotic.
“because of their political beliefs”
well, look what FakeNewsABC says your beliefs are now! completely fake poll:
16 Jul: ABC America: Public backs action on global warming - but with cost concerns and muted urgency (POLL)
By Gary Langer
Public awareness of global warming is up and support for action is broad, with eight in 10 Americans saying the federal government should try to achieve the same deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions called for in the international treaty rejected by Donald Trump.
Sixty-one percent in a new national survey also say the federal government should be doing “a great deal” or “a lot” about global warming, up 8 points since 2015 to the most since 2009. A mere 10 percent say the government in fact is doing that much – down 5 points in three years...

The random-sample survey was produced by ABC News, Stanford University’s Political Psychology Research Group and Resources for the Future, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank focused on economic, environmental, energy and natural resource issues, with design, management and analysis for ABC by Langer Research Associates. It extends more than 20 years of research into attitudes on global warming by the Political Psychology Research Group at Stanford University — previously at Ohio State University — led by Prof. Jon Krosnick...

Talking religion or politics has its time and place. Not in someone else’s car. It’s not right, but it’s expected if you do.
“Progressives Only” drinking fountains on the way?
And this even when the new CEO is promising on tv ads that Uber will be more tolerant, efficient, and better. I say MALE BOVINE POOP. MAGA!!
Y that’s a hate crime.
And Republicans and Independents at the back of the bus (if they are allowed even on them).
What is the driver’s name. Publish it far and wide.
Really!?! I thought talking .... you know “speech” was a right.
All true except if you are paying for that car.
Then religion and politics can be on the table.
And the driver just ought to shut up
When you are driving for Uber, your car is now a business.
Sue Uber out of business.
And contact the CEO of uber and demand an apology.
It is fairly easy if you have the name of someone to find out what political party they are registered with or which candidates or parties they have donated money to. What is to prevent Uber drivers or other business employees from doing a search online to determine if one has the “correct” political ideas before doing business with them?
Someone should have screwed one in his ear and told him either we arrive at our destination for which we contracted, or your brains will be on the windscreen.
Bartenders are the only exception, as they are trained to be attentive and indifferent towards such things publicly.
Sue the dog shit out of Uber.
