A bigoted Trump supporter? What are the odds? Story out of Salt Lake City, Utah:
Samuel Grenny said his driver, Dave, went on a bigoted rant and even threatened to hurt him.
Grenny and his girlfriend were on their way to a Bernie Sanders event, but they said the driver wanted to talk about Donald Trump.
“I explained where we were going and what it was for, and very quickly he seemed to tense up about it,” Grenny said.
“He started to say that Muslims categorically are terrorists,” Grenny said. “And then he proceeded to call Muslims pieces of crap, but a much unkinder word than that. At that point my girlfriend started videotaping, she was very shaken.”
The passengers were kicked out well before their final destination.
Grenny alerted Lyft about the driver, and he said within 24 hours they sent him an apology and a refund. Lyft released this statement to FOX 13 News.
“Lyft is committed to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming environment, and discrimination and racism are not tolerated. This driver’s access to Lyft has been permanently removed.” Cont. (Video)
