    I do appreciate that there’s at least been some measure of consequence for these rich, fascist bastards, however minor.

    “I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again,” former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate and event host Eric Deters, who throws the event on his farm, said on Facebook Monday. “When I put together Patriot State Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with the VIP sales of $1,000 from these hundred people that I interact with on a regular basis that have money.”

    . . . “Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,” he said. “None of these people will ever, ever, ever get a favor from me again, ever. Not only will they never get a favor from me again, they do not have Bulldog immunity.” He also lashed out at the media for not adequately covering the event.

    lol

        I feel gross to even try and look it up, but I did the dirty work for ya. Seems that he is the “bulldog” and immunity is referring to his “wrath”. Idk, I didn’t dig further, just took a screen shot and figured that’s as much as anyone needs to know about what this twat thinks. Peaked as a douche in highschool vibes

      “Waaaa, some people I know didn’t buy tickets for my shitty event! I’m never doing anything to help them again!”

      That diatribe alone should show he’s unfit for office.

      Edit: The eejit is an attorney. Astounding.

        Hey now. I’m told quid-pro-quo is totally okay as long as it’s a conservative doing it.

    …Deters is pissed, lashing out at people whom he apparently expected to attend.

    “Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,”

      Are we not even trying to pretend we aren’t an openly corrupt authorization oligarchy anymore?

      Back in my day we at least tried to lie about it to the press.

      I remember when the internet used to like him for enforcing $3 beers at his concerts, because at one point he actually used to care about his working-class fanbase (or at least had a good PR team back then). Really goes to show how Trump can bring out the absolute worst in people.
