Donald Trump-supporting tow truck driver says God told him to abandon a disabled Bernie supporter



Donald Trump-supporting tow truck driver says God told him to abandon a disabled Bernie supporter

by Shaun King
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, May 6, 2016

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Donald Trump's America.

On Monday, a disabled woman's car broke down 45 minutes away from her home after she was in an accident in Asheville, North Carolina. When her family mechanic could not come to get her, he called a local tow truck driver — who also happens to be an evangelical Christian who voted for Donald Trump. What happened next defies common decency, the basic tenets of Christianity and good business practice.

Ken Shupe arrived on the scene to tow Cassy McWade's car and even began the process of hooking her car up to be towed. It was then that he noticed that she had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker on her car.

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

God told him not to help a disabled woman stranded on the side of the interstate? How Christian of him.

I sometimes wonder if the Bernie sticker on the back of my car draws the ire of some drivers during my commute. I'm probably paranoid but I swear those pickup trucks seem to come up pretty close on my bumper sometimes. Of course, I do live in NC, so maybe there's something to it...

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." ― John Kenneth Galbraith
