Kristin Wolter, a florist in Memphis, has closed her shop, Everbloom Design, for the week due to threats following her refusal to serve Donald Trump supporters. She cited safety concerns for herself and her family. Wolter faced backlash after stating in an Instagram video that she would not do business with Trump supporters. This led to a flood of threatening messages, some containing obscene language. Her social media accounts are now private, and she has previously expressed strong opposition to Trump supporters. Legal threats have been made against her, but political affiliation is not protected under Tennessee law.
