Tow truck driver leaves woman stranded after seeing Bernie Sanders sticker

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina – A tow truck driver refused to help a woman stranded on a North Carolina interstate because she had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker on her car.

It happened Monday, May 2nd in Asheville when Kenneth Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, was called to pick up a stranded woman, WLOS reported.

"Something came over me. I think the Lord came to me, and he just said 'get in the truck and leave,'" Shupe said. "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."

Shupe told FOX Carolina that he couldn’t tow her car because she was “obviously a socialist” and advised her to “call the government” for a tow.

A South Carolina attorney told WHNS that the tow truck driver is not breaking any laws because political affiliation is not a protected class.

The stranded woman’s mother posted to Facebook that she thought Shupe is a bigot.

"Trump's motto is 'Make America Great Again,'" she said. "And this kind of divisive behavior is not going to make America great again."
