California event center cancels rally after learning Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene would speak

A Laguna Hills, California event center canceled plans to host an “America First” rally on July 17 after learning the speakers were slated to be two of the most controversial Republicans in Congress: Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“We just want to stay clear of that,” Javad Mirtavoosi, general manager of Pacific Hills Banquet & Event Center, said by phone Friday.

Greene’s campaign disputed that account of how the cancellation transpired. And they’re still selling tickets for a rally, though they’re still trying to find an Orange County venue for the same day.

“We’re very close to securing a location that will proudly host our America First Rally with Congresswoman Greene and Congressman Gaetz,” Nick Dyer, spokesman for Greene’s campaign, said Friday afternoon.

... I live in California... they do not match our American values! I would suggest a site where fundamentalist, nationalist authorities are in charge. Maybe Iran... or, maybe even Afghanistan... they could use the business right now.
