'Welcome to the resistance:' NC Uber driver kicked Republican passengers out, they say

RALEIGH, N.C. - Six Republican volunteers were traveling in an Uber on Saturday from a campaign event to downtown Raleigh when they say their driver pulled over to a gas station and told them to get out.

"Welcome to the resistance," the driver said while pulling away, according to Chris Godbey and Mary Russell, two of the passengers.

The driver told the six volunteers, who are from the Washington, D.C., area, to exit the vehicle on the grounds that the driver "had the right to deny us service," Russell said.
