ASHEVILLE, NC (FOX Carolina) - 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.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Capitalism meets socialism

Well, that's his right as a business owner.

Though I think you should put politics aside when it comes to your personal bottom line. Press doesn't like this kind of stuff and you get bad internet press and some good local attention, problem is that internet bad press is there for a long time.

He mixed up his joke. He meant to say he gets "burned" with a "u", not an "e"

If he's willing to pass up the money, good for him.

What a moron. I bet he's a Hillary supporter.

He's costing himself a lot of business. I live in Asheville and it seems like half the cars around here are Priuses and all have Bernie bumper stickers.

If that a-hole worked for me, when he got back I would tell him that he was fired and he should call Trump for another job.

Tow truck drivers...yuck..they get a hard on every time some Denny's franchise owner calls them to tow a car out of their half-empty parking lot.

Someone stole my car once, and I had to pay $200 to get it out of the tow yard. Thanks, guys!

I'm a proud conservative and very anti-Bernie myself, but that's a douche move by the tow driver.

Political disagreement and being an a-hole are two different things.

Was he called to tow her or the car?

He should have told her to stand near of some railway tracks because the Trump Train is coming through.
