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 [them] 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.”

Cant wait to start hearing of these scumbags found in ditches. You all want to resist start a revolution. Bring it on.
So the uber driver kicked paying customers out of his ride. Smart guy nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Brilliant.
I guess when ordering an uber you need to specify drivers political standing so you aren't left standing on the side of the road!
4:40 - Basic liberal thinking. Their "cause" is the most important thing no matter how utterly stupid it is!
Volunteers should be walking anyway. Who was paying for the Uber ?
