Quote:Six Republican campaign volunteers say they were kicked out of an Uber on Saturday as their driver told them “welcome to the resistance.”

The six volunteers were told halfway to their destination in Raleigh, North Carolina, to exit the vehicle at a gas station because the driver “had the right to deny us service,” Mary Russell, one of the riders in the Uber told The Daily Caller News Foundation. The six riders exited the car and were told “welcome to the resistance” as the driver drove away.

“It was clear based on our mild conservative political talk that the driver realized we were Republicans,” Russell, who was the rider who ordered the Uber, told The DCNF. After the incident, she received a message from Uber saying that she was inappropriate towards her driver.

“I reviewed the relevant policy of Uber and we did not use ‘inappropriate and abusive language or gestures’ that would result in the early termination of a ride,” Russell said. “This type of discrimination against politically oriented conservatives should be against the policy of Uber.” Russell said the group then requested another ride, and experienced no problems with that driver.

What? Didn't you read the post? They were kicked out of the car and told welcome to the resistance. How much clearer do you want it? Cheesers, you're a Dim that's for sure. Uber will suffer, you watch. People will use other types of public transportation now, you see. And Uber protecting this driver only intensifies the narrative of boycott.

• For this to be confirmed, the passenger's account would have requested a ride.
• Uber would have dispatched the ride request to a drive who has an account.
• The ride has a specific destination.
• All rides are tracked by GPS.
• The end of a ride request has a GPS ending point.

Maybe, but if he's your Uber drive and pulls over in the middle of nowhere and tells you to get out at 2:30 in the morning, you might care a bit more than usual.

Yep. And the Uber driver would just lie and say he didn't say they did something else......
