Tennessee Florist Shop Owner Receives Backlash After Refusing To Serve Trump Supporters

Posted • November 21, 2024: 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. In a video posted on social media, she announced after Election Day that she was changing her business policies. "I won't do business with people who support the president-elect, and it is because I need to create a safe place for me, my staff, and my family," Wolter said. -- Everbloom Design, a Memphis flower shop, announced they will no longer do business with any Trump supporters.

"I won't do business with people who support the president-elect and it is because I need to create a safe space for me, my staff and my family," owner Kristin Wolter declared. Wolter said she was stunned and triggered by the election results. "I could not believe my community chose financial concerns and economy over human rights and decency." The good news is there are plenty of flower shops in Memphis that do not discriminate based on political orientation. But truth be told -- Trump voters don't buy too many pansies. -- Apparently, Wolter received such harsh backlash online and in person that she made her social media accounts private and shut down her shop temporarily. According to KWAM News Radio 900, she posted a note on the shop door that stated, "I knew standing up for what I believe in would have consequences. I am so grateful to those of you that have supported me in this. They are showing their true colors and lack of decency and humanity."

The owner of Everbloom Design now claims she is the victim. This is the Memphis flower shop that announced a ban on customers who support President Trump. The owner went out of her way to post multiple statements condemning Trump supporters. Such intolerance is disheartening. Banning people just because of their political orientation. That's the definition of bigotry. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GcjVZzjWwAA1mep?format=png&name=small (…)
