A California hotel canceled an “America First” rally after learning Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene were slated to be featured speakers.
The duo of GOP lawmakers was slated to speak at an "America First" rally at Pacific Hills Banquet and Event Center in Laguna Hills, California, in July, but the event was canceled by the venue over concerns about Gaetz and Greene being the featured speakers.

Clearly some California businesses are happy to pass up money for their hateful politics.

I’m sorry, but why would any conservative want to support Kalifornia. No offense to the wonderful conservatives that live there. Texas or Florida would be most excellent replacements!

They had their orders from Joey Marionette Xiden; well via him. Then they asked him 'how's it going?' He replied "Depends'.

Their loss. Likely skeered that Xiden will send his little Antifa buddies around to burn the place down.

Gaetz and Greene are great. The left's nastiness only makes them more great, and more listened to.

Laguna Hills is supposed to be conservative country, (at least for Kalifornia), too.

Orange County is not like it used to be although its much less crazy than other places. There are great fairly red communities way up north. These great folks need to seek them out, plan rallies where they are welcomed. Plus, BLESS these communities with that hotel and restaurant business.

I don't understand. On what basis can an "event business" refuse to serve elected representatives from one of our major political parties? There are controversial electeds in both parties. So what?
Has anyone forgotten how Democrats harassed Trump administration employees in restaurants? Maxine Waters encouraged her followers to confront Trump staffers "in gasoline stations" and restaurants, and to "tell them they are not welcome here." Why is the event business participating in such a hateful scheme?

So a hotel can cancel your event because of personal politics but a florist must make flower arrangements for a gay wedding? Doesn't seem fair, does it?

Isn't it against the law, to discriminate on race, sex, religion, and political affiliation

Somebody forgot to mention to the hotel managers that Gaetz and Greene were LGBQ LSMFT.

I doubt the business people at this resort made this decision based on their own political views. My suspicion is that they were threatened with demonstrations or vandalism if they didn't cancel the event. In the same way as BLM intimidated the SCOTUS to take a knee on the 2020 election it was easier for the hotel to just run away then to stand up for the principle of free speech. Cowardice is a much more likely explanation than animus.

A really bad business decision. The event center should have done the reverse plus add Rep. Lauren Boebert to the speaker list.

What other organizations have used this hotel venue?
Has this hotel ever shut out any other speaker? or organization?
Sounds discriminatory to me.

I am so happy they are doing so well they can afford to cancel a big event. Only in CA, land of fruits and flakes.

I can't believe there isn't something in writing preventing the Hotel from just deciding they don't want your business. Nobody can plan an event that way. I would think Trump would/and could/ sue this Hotel for saying no at this point. And should the Hotel have ANYTHING to say as to WHO appears at this Rally? I don't think so. This is the second time in a few weeks that this has happened to Trump. Time to make it Iron Clad. Change your mind, going to cost you MILLIONS!

A comment below asks the question: How is this different from baking a cake? It's different in that a hotel has a far larger responsibility to the community and expects and gets lots of tax payer supported services from the government. Either serve everybody or get out of business! Let the law suits commence!

The venue likely expects BLM and Antics protesters/riolters and has considered the potential property damage and resulting impact on guests. They know what to expect and are being prudent.
