San Antonio Couple Claims Local Auto Shop Told Them to Remove Trump Sticker Before Inspection

In a video posted by controversial Republican Party of Bexar County Chairwoman Cynthia Brehm, a local couple says a local auto shop told them to remove their Trump 2020 sticker in order to get an inspection.

The inspector, however, said he asked them to peel off the sticker because it covered a brake light on a rear window, not because of politics.

The couple, Tim and Cathy Rodriguez, involved the RPBC, and Brehm alleges that the inspector's request was a politically-motivated attempt to suppress their right to free speech.

In a Facebook video, Brehm interviewed the couple, who said the inspector at Jerry's Auto Service told them to remove the sticker during an August 9 visit to the shop. They allege that the employee told them he wasn't able to do the inspection until it was removed.

Seriously, why do so many conservatives have a persecution complex? And it seems like it's always accompanied by a willful misunderstanding of basic social/civic concepts, like: Freedom of Speech, e.g. Unless the auto mechanic is "the government," he is literally unable to infringe on someone's right to free speech.
