https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/homeowner-sell-trump-supporters-republican-12795014.phpA woman selling a Sacramento home that's been in her family for decades says she's not about to pass it on to just anyone; the buyer will have to possess a certain political disposition.
As CBS Sacramento reports, the woman, who was not identified, is refusing to sell the house to anyone who voted for Donald Trump.
"I told her [the realtor] that I didn't want her to sell it to a Trump supporter," she said to CBS 13 in the video above. "When you're talking about principles, morals, and ethics, it's very, very deep."
There is, however, a respite for such prospective conservative home buyers: The woman's efforts to sell only to those aligning with her politics may not be totally legal.

A landlord who insists on renting only to republicans, for example, may open themselves up to accusations of racial discrimination if the renters are disproportionately white.

He instructed the realtor, "No democrats".
