That'll Teach Her a Lesson
When 25-year-old Cassandra McWade got in a car accident on a highway in Asheville, North Carolina, on Monday, Ken Shupe drove his tow truck to the scene. But when he saw that McWade, who has disabilities, had Bernie Sanders signs on her Toyota Camry, he decided he wouldn’t help.
“He said, ‘I can’t tow you ... you’re a Bernie supporter,’” McWade recalled. “I was like, ‘Wait, are you serious? You’re kidding me.’”
Ken Shupe, a 51-year-old from Travelers Rest, South Carolina, was very serious. “I’m a conservative Christian, I’ve just drawn a line in the sand,” he said. “I’m not going to associate or conduct business with them.”

What a jerk
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Doesn't sound like a very 'Christian' way to behave.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

If he is a AAA contractor for road service I hope she reported him to the AAA. I'll bet he'd miss that money.

You'd think a "Christian" would be familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan.
Or perhaps this;
"Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no greater commandment than this."

The message is obvious: If you are a Christian, then you must be a member of the R-Tribe. Or maybe, if you are a Republican, you must be a Christian? And I thought Jesus followers were generous, caring human beings.

Re: That'll Teach Her a Lesson
What would a "progressive Christian" tow truck operator do when looking at a vehicle plastered with Trump or Cruz bumper stickers?
Just askin'.

He would help them. That's what 'progressive Christians' would do. More than that, I'm guessing that's what a Christian would do. I don't recall Jesus asking about someone's political affiliation before he offered to help them.

Depends if he or she is truly a Christian, doesn't it ?
