Trump-loving tow truck driver leaves handicapped motorist stranded over Bernie Sanders support
Washington Times ^ | May 5, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar -

A South Carolina tow truck driver who supports Donald Trump for president refused to help a motorist stranded on the side of Interstate 26 Monday because of her Bernie Sanders bumper sticker.

Kenneth Shupe, who owns Shupee Max Towing in Travelers Rest, told a local ABC News affiliate that he “drew a line in the sand” when he saw the sticker on Cassy McWade’s stranded vehicle in Asheville.

“Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave,” Mr. 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.”

Ms. McWade, who had been in a minor car accident, said Mr. Shupe had already started the process of towing her vehicle when he suddenly changed his mind.

>>He could have made her pay up front?<<

Well, it certainly was a dicky move, that said, the woman is 25, has psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and early-stage Crohns, and who knows what else. She probably lives off of disability so she’s not in the habit of paying anyone for anything.

This was originally reported as an ambulance driver who passed up a Bernie voter.

Turns out the tow truck driver had been stiffed by these types before. Having visited Asheville, I can understand that.

Naw it’s an issue that Democrats are freeloaders. The Tow truck driver should have made her pay before he gave her service.

Something is wrong with this.

There is an article that said a first responder was the first on the scene. So she didn't call a friend or her mother or the police.

Must have been police on the scene. And the trucker was a hit and run??

Next thing we'll find out is that she lost her license 6 months ago.

And I don't see the handicap sign on her rear view.

The very last thing that happens is the call for the toll truck.

Go to Netflix for thousands of movies, even foreign films. Online films are also available everyday on the internet. I rarely watch T.V. because I hate the commercials. There are lots of other sources for entertainment.
Are you housebound...unable to get out and about?

I agree, the guy did himself no favors with this move. The libs will try to destroy this guy if they have not already. It would not surprise me if a lib government official tries to go after this guy for some ADA issue. It is just not worth it

A woman was in front of me in line at the post office. The line was moving very slow and she started yelling at the counter “Excuse me!! Excuse me!! Can’t you open up some other stations? This is ridiculous!!” She turned around to look at me to tell me that it was ridiculous how much time it was taking and I saw she had a “Feel the Bern” button. So I said, “that’s government for you — slow and incompetent.” She scowled at me and turned back around.

“he libs will try to destroy this guy if they have not already”

That’s why I said make her pay upfront. Tell her it’s company policy. Like she would have known this? Please! She would have been towed, and he would have been paid, all would have been happy.
