Just like his dad, Donald Trump Jr. found out the hard way that people just aren’t required to put up with your crap. After the former president was banned from social media, he tried to sue the platforms that silenced his accounts. But the First Amendment only protects you from the government stifling your freedom of speech.
It doesn’t mean you get to say what you want anywhere you want to say it.
That confusion seems to be at the root of the snag that Don Jr’s team just hit. “We can’t figure it out,” former Missouri State Senator Jim Lembke told a radio host in St. Louis. His political action committee Defense of Liberty PAC was promoting an event in December featuring the former First Son when they received an email from the payment processer who had been taking money for tickets.
Chase Bank’s WePay, an online payment processing system, sent the message to the organizer telling him that “they’re shutting down the sale of tickets, and refunding all of those tickets to the people that had bought them, and [we] wouldn’t be able to do business with us anytime in the future,” says Lembke.
This is just another example of the woke, corporate environment shutting down conservative speech. It’s just outrageous, and they think they can cancel us, well they can’t. We’ll find a different company that will sell our tickets online.
We can’t figure that out, I mean the idea that we bring in conservative thinkers, conservative leaders from around the country to speak to people that want to hear their message.
The group has hosted Candace Owens and numerous other “conservative thinkers.” Lembke said they had sold $30,000 worth of tickets before deciding to disengage with Defense of Liberty.
