Memphis Florist Closes After Trump Supporter Ban

Kristin Wolter, owner of Everbloom Design, a floral studio in Memphis, has temporarily closed her business following backlash for stating that she would not serve customers who support Donald Trump. In a now-private video on Instagram, Wolter expressed her desire to create a 'safe place' for herself and her staff, leading to widespread criticism and calls for a boycott of her business. She reported receiving threatening voicemails from across the country, with some users threatening legal action for discrimination, although Tennessee law does not protect political beliefs in this context. Wolter acknowledged the potential consequences of her stance but maintained her position, stating, 'I knew standing up for what I believe in would have consequences.' Critics on social media have accused her of sabotaging her business, with comments suggesting she may face financial ruin. As of now, the shop remains closed, with its website and social media accounts also disabled.
