A Sacramento woman selling a house which has been in her family for half a century will sell to just about anyone - unless they're a Trump supporter.
The homeowner, who has declined to give her name, told CBS Sacramento "I told her [the realtor] that I didn’t want her to sell it to a Trump supporter."
The woman's realtor, Elizabeth Weintraub, says that the "no Trump supporter" caveat is a first for her. “We can ask somebody how they voted, but they don’t have to tell us,” said Weintraub.
But is it actually legal? Attorney Allen Sawyer thinks not: “That’s an unlawful contractual term that infringes the freedom of association and first amendment rights,” said Sawyer.
According to the Fair Housing Act, political party affiliation doesn’t fall into one of the seven protected classes. They include race, religion, color, disability. National origin, sex and familial status. -CBS Sacramento
“People have a right to believe what they want to believe and they shouldn’t be restricted from purchasing property based on that,” said Sawyer.
Either way - the seller is clearly limiting the buying pool according to certified appraiser Ryan Lundquist - who notes that "39 percent of voters voted for Donald Trump in the Sacramento region. That’s an absolute fact."
The homeowner doesn't care: "When you’re talking about principals, morals, and ethics, it’s very very deep," she said.

Clearly not a capitalist.
A Trump supporter buying a house in Sacramento? Nah, I don't think you have much to worry about there Ms Weintraub.
Then again, there's always GoyFundMe, maybe someone will crowdfund it and then take a big shit in the middle of the living room

REVERSE RACISSSSSSSSST!
These exiting Baby Boomers must decease from this world completely before their twisted ideologies can be expunged from the logical debate of higher human evolution. Their failed dogmas are undeniable as is their arrogant altruistic nihilism.

No, I refuse.
Go bake your own cake you fags.
Looking further her this woman is a cabal member and likely a handler of sex slaves. She is doing this to make a name for herself not because she doesn’t like Trump. just more faggotry and controlled opposition.

I would not wish to deal with someone like this to begin with, there are other homes available. Maybe just to bust her balls where a MAGA hat at closing and see what happens

agreed, she's not worth the effort, and the house looks like it was built in the 60s and never remodeled...
who would eat a cake baked by a business you sued in court? It's dumber then sending food back to the cook with a complaint, and eating what he returns.
But it was too much, not to point out the hypocrisy of the left!

Good for the lady homeowner. She's got some principles that she'll stand up for, even though it may cost her some money and some legal trouble. I don't much like her principles, but I'm 100% behind her right to have them and exercise them. Free association means the right to discriminate against anyone you damn well please, for any reason you please. Who knows, some Trump supporter may want to refuse to sell a house to her, and I'm okay with that too.

The only reasonably decent presidents were George Washington and JFK. Trump -- not looking too good.
People acquire beliefs by accident. Maybe they hear something on the radio. Commie, fascist -- I look past that and try to see the real person.
