A Memphis florist has received massive backlash after saying she won't do business with Donald Trump supporters after his 2024 election win.

Kristin Wolter, 49, made the announcement on the now-private Instagram account for her business, Everbloom Designs.

'I won't do business with people who support the president-elect,' she said in the video, which circulated widely social media beginning last week.

'It is because I need to create a safe place for me, my staff, and my family.'

Wolter said she was shocked that her 'community chose financial concerns and economy over human rights and decency,' Newsmax host Todd Starnes wrote in a post on X.

Wolter issued a second statement after receiving blowback to her initial comments, according to KWAM News Radio 900. The station posted an announcement on Saturday saying that the shop would be closed the 'rest of the week due to threats to me and my business.'

'I knew standing up for what I believe in would have consequences,' the note read.

'I am so grateful to those of you that have supported me in this. They are showing their true colors and lack of decency and humanity.'

A listing for the business on Google indicated the florist was temporarily closed as of Tuesday.

DailyMail.com made several attempts to contact Wolter.

A phone call to the shop on Tuesday went to voicemail. The contact page on its website also appears to have been disabled, as does the company's Facebook page.

Memphis was one of the few places in Tennesseethat went blue during the 2024 race, where Trump won 64 percent of the state's votes.

Many Trump supporters were quick to call for a boycott against Wolter's business and said she was 'sabotaging' herself.

'Talk about sabotaging your own business,' one X user wrote.

'She'll file for bankruptcy by Inauguration Day,' another said.

'We certainly appreciate the heads up!' Starnes added. 'I'm sure there are other places for people to buy pansies - places that don't discriminate based on political affiliation.'

'If you can't handle a difference of opinion, you probably shouldn't be in business. Memphis deserves better than this,' another commenter wrote.
