A local tow truck driver said he refused to tow a woman’s car after he saw Bernie Sanders stickers on the vehicle.
Kenneth Shupe said he was called to pick up a woman stranded on I-26 in Asheville on Monday.
When he saw “a bunch of Bernie Sanders stuff” he said he told the woman, “very politely,” that he could’t tow her car because she was “obviously a socialist” and advised her to “call the government” for a tow.
“Every business dealing in recent history with a socialist minded person I have not gotten paid,” Shupe said. “Every time I deal with these people I get ‘Berned’ with an ‘e’ not a ‘u’.”
Shupe, who runs Shupee Max Towing in Travelers Rest, said he is a conservative Christian who supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Shupe said he has drawn a line in the sand not to do business with Bernie Sanders’ supporters.
Sanders is running for president in 2016 on the Democratic ticket.
“I respect their beliefs, and I hope they respect my views,” Shupe said Wednesday.
The woman’s mother Kelle McWade posted an angry message on Facebook after the incident, calling Shupe a bigot.
