oman selling her Sacramento home refuses to let a Trump supporter move in

https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/homeowner-sell-trump-supporters-republican-12795014.php

A woman selling a Sacramento home that's been in her family for decades says she's not about to pass it on to just anyone; the buyer will have to possess a certain political disposition.

As CBS Sacramento reports, the woman, who was not identified, is refusing to sell the house to anyone who voted for Donald Trump.

"I told her [the realtor] that I didn't want her to sell it to a Trump supporter," she said to CBS 13 in the video above. "When you're talking about principles, morals, and ethics, it's very, very deep."

There is, however, a respite for such prospective conservative home buyers: The woman's efforts to sell only to those aligning with her politics may not be totally legal.

A landlord who insists on renting only to republicans, for example, may open themselves up to accusations of racial discrimination if the renters are disproportionately white.

Trump supporters would present a clear and present danger to a diverse community due to their propensity for hate speech and violence.
