        Not to mention the guy gave his full name and phone number multiple times to the police in the video. You can tell by his demeanor on the phone that they weren't having it.

        Driver on GoFundMe page thinks those idiots will sue him. They can try, of course, but they don't have a case. Taking video in a public place, even inside a Lyft car, is 1st Amendment protected.

        He goes full blown “ignorant trump supporter” around the 9:35 mark. Apparently he doesn’t know that team MAGA hates him. Hats off to the Lyft driver for keeping a cool head.

        I love the look on the driver's face. Pretty much how I feel listening to any Trump supporter.

        ... loses his job, and is banned from Lyft. C'mon, doesn't everybody love a happy ending? Also, I love the look on the driver's face. What a trooper.

        That is one fucked up Trump supporter. Sad to watch such a high level of ignorance, disrespect and racism. I wonder if that Trump supporter actually does not support gay rights?

        Just awful. The driver should be commended on his patience and temperament under the circumstances. That “passenger” tried to get the best of him and he didn’t buckle. I hope the police did show up and fine him for wasting police services and for verbally assaulting the driver.
