The ever-controversial Republican Representatives Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to show up in southern California on Saturday for a "free speech rally" despite the third cancellation of their "America First" rally earlier in the day, this time by the city of Anaheim.
According to a local newspaper report, Gaetz and Green dropped by Riverside City Hall to hold a "free speech rally" Saturday evening.
The rally was originally scheduled to take place at the Pacific Hills Banquet and Event Center in Laguna Hills, but the event was canceled because venue manager Javad Mirtavoosi said "we just wanted to steer clear of that." The rally was then slated to move to Riverside Convention Center, but the manager there also canceled the planned gathering.
Their last try was Anaheim Event Center, with the rally scheduled for Saturday evening, but that event got canceled as of Saturday morning after the City of Anaheim "shared public safety concerns" with the venue.

Like the creeps who show up uninvited to your party.
Gaetz and Greene Hold Bizarre Outdoor Protest After Multiple Venues Bailed
Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene hoped the third time might be the charm for finding a California venue to host their America First rally on Saturday night. But instead of speaking to a packed arena, the pair were left with the sidewalk outside the Riverside City Hall.
Greene used the Peaceful Protest Against Communism to hawk vaccine hesitancy. She urged the crowd, Dont let them force your kids to wear masks at school. Dont let your kids be forced to take a vaccine thats not FDA approved. Meanwhile, coronavirus cases in California are surging as the more contagious Delta variant rips through the unvaccinated population.
Gaetz, who is currently under federal investigation for sex trafficking and abuse of a minor, railed against the corrupt forces in the Department of Justice and the FBI and complained that the private venues refusals to host the pair amounted to an infringement on their freedom of speech.
They may try to cancel us online, they may try to pursue us in real life, they may shut down our venues, but we will take this fight to them in the courts, in the halls of Congress, and if necessary in the streets, he said.

Losers throughout eternity. I hope they keep getting the same treatment whenever and wherever they try to fling their shit.

(65,322 posts)...seemed to show about 125 people, with maybe 30 across the street, in opposition.
This "big" rally was only able to get 100-150 people to the free speech silliness.
Maybe the venue operators decided to cancel because the shitshow was going to be so puny that the money wasn't going to come close to outweighing the hassle & potentially bad PR.
Perhaps not that many people are into Grits & Traitor G.
