It seems as if the progressives’ holy grail of “tolerance” only works one way. Case in point — a homeowner in Sacramento, CA, has put her home up for sale. But there is a catch: the buyer cannot be a Trump supporter.
According to CBS Sacramento, “the homeowner has a political preference in mind for the next owner of her house, which has been in her family for decades.” While the homeowner “entertained people from all walks of life,” the realtor says she doesn’t want her to sell it to a Trump supporter.
But according to attorney Allen Sawyer, this condition is illegal. This contractual term infringes on the freedom of association and First Amendment rights. “People have a right to believe what they want to believe and they shouldn’t be restricted from purchasing property based on that,” Sawyer argued.
However, according to the Fair Housing Act, political party preference doesn’t fall into one of the protected classes, which include race, color, religion, disability, national origin, familial status and sex.
Either way, according to the homeowner, the statement she wants to make is more important than money and the prospect of turning away almost half of her prospective buyers, as 39% of people in the Sacramento region voted for Trump.
On his show, Daily Wire Editor-In-Chief Ben Shapiro frequently takes his shoe off when talking about an issue, asking how we would react to a situation if the shoe were on the other foot, meaning that if a situation were reversed, would our reactions be the same.
This case in Sacramento is just the latest example of where this should be done. But don’t hold your breath for the Left to do this, and to hold its own to its own standards. Because there are none.
