At times, it can feel like the country is only concerned about all things red and blue, but if you're a business owner, you're typically only worried about another color: green (despite what Whoopi Goldberg says). However, one woman in Tennessee broke that unspoken rule and decided she only wanted to work with people who supported her own political views. The backlash came so fast and furiously that she had to shut down her business.
49-year-old Kristin Wolter of Memphis is the owner of the florist shop Everbloom Designs in Memphis, Tenn.

I suppose it's just me, but I think anyone who wears clown glasses probably doesn't have a clue.

I always find it amusing when a liberal accuses people (Trump supporters) of being hateful and unsafe when they have done nothing other than vote. Maybe liberals should take a good look in the mirror if they want to see someone actually spewing hateful rhetoric.

much like Biden, she considers her own customers who voted Trump to be nothing but garbage. As a result, her customer base will be reduced by at least 50%. That should insure that her business will soon dry up and go away.

This flower shop owner is throwing a temper tantrum because she didn't get her way. Well, she is entitled to do that but most people aren't impressed with temper tantrums. We don't have to appreciate and support her, not because we are hateful but because SHE doesn't get to tell us what to do anymore than we get to tell her. She wants to yell and scream, we can ignore her. She wants to close her shop, OK. She wants to spit in our faces, we don't have to do business with her.

I wish some Trump themed organization would place an order for a half million dollars. Then watch her turn it down.

What it must be like to be a walking, talking creation of the most ignorant and vile forces on the planet.

There was a story on a social media where this guy was talking about how his wife was so "triggered" and upset about the election and did not feel safe living in their red state. They were talking about moving to a blue city and mentioned, Minneapolis and Chicago. I just laughed - 2 cities with extremely high crime rates and they want to feel "safe" there ??

TDS. Which one of your employees are you going to lay off first after you lose half of your customers?

The good news is that she now has her Safe Space, an empty flower shop with a locked door. Yep, those glasses are a dead giveaway to what is immediately behind them.

Notice it's always women who are starting the trouble. This is what happens when entitlement takes over a brain.

I don't agree with people who threaten those with different viewpoints.
Snark is, I believe, permissible. Send a card, maybe with a bouquet from a competitor. Express sympathy and hope she gets well soon.
And stay safe.

#14 very clever
How about someone order a MAGA arrangement.
When she refuses......threaten to sue. You know, just like the gays with wedding cakes/websites.

Dems try to take up the mantle of Joan of Arc, but they are missing a key ingredient: a deep faith in and love of God, and a desire to serve him. Without that, they just look like whiny, spoiled brats.

This sounds like a very convenient way to cut her losses on a failing business while blaming President Trump and his supporters.

This is just another in a long line of stories of leftist democrat intolerance towards Conservative, Republican Trump supporters. I'm a peaceful God-fearing man who wears his MAGA gear with pride. Any intolerant leftist democrat who has a problem with that better just keep it moving. That's all I'm going to say.

"The shop will be closed the rest of the week due to threats to me and my business." That is the beginning of one of her posts which ends with "They are showing their true colors and lack of decency and humanity."
Now, does anyone here actually believe any Conservative made a threat to this woman, aside from If you are going to be that way, I'll take my business elsewhere?
Demonrats are infamous for their lying hoaxes, and I'm positive this woman, her employees, or her shop received no threats from anyone, anywhere. I mean, C'mon man!

Did she serve warm milk and Oreo cookies to her employees in her "safe place".
