I'm sure he knew there would be repercussions.

I'd buy him endless rounds of beers though

Ex-FedEx employee Vincent Paterno mocked Kamala Harris’ name with a vulgar term via TikTok

A former FedEx driver who vowed in a profanity-laced video to never deliver packages to houses championing the Black Lives Matter movement, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris has since been fired — and now won’t be delivering packages to any houses at all.

Isn't it ironic how FedEx responded so quickly and severely to this. It is wrong of course for the driver to refuse to do his job no matter what political signs are posted in the yard but one has to wonder how quickly they would have responded if this was a driver that refused to step foot onto a property that was flying a MAGA flag?



Somehow I don't think it would have been a big deal and that driver IF he lost his job would have been making the rounds on the late night Lefty talk shows...

Haha. Although I’d have to fire him too if I happened to be his manager, since he wasn’t doing the job!

He deserves to be fired for not doing his job . . . but I sure do understand where he's coming from.

At least he didn't leave his truck on the side of the road and quit and left like a co-worker did in 1995 when I was working part time at UPS. That was funny. He called the office to inform them that he quit and to pick up the truck at the side of the road. At least he told them where to find it. They overloaded his truck and gave him a messed up route to deliver and pressured him to deliver it fast and he cracked under pressure and left the truck on the side of road. That was funny to all of us.

They were right to fire him. I don’t support those either but it’s his job to make deliveries regardless of the customer’s politics. Only acceptable reason for refusal to deliver is personal safety like in the case of violent gang activity, vicious dogs, or other situations.

BLM is a terrorist organization which supports violence against whites. He had every reason to fear for his safety. I suspect you'd change your tune if a Black FedEx driver refused to deliver to a home displaying a Confederate flag.

why is this news? Fed Ex like every big company fires people every day. I'm sure that some employers fired people or didn't hire them because they voted for Trump. Not 1 made the news. The media pushing an agenda.

Another feel good thread of resisting the crazy. Good stuff and I love it. I'm so glad this is public news. It seems the left are getting more and more pushback and much lower approval ratings. Go Republicans. We got this.
