MAGA’s Kid Rock Festival Canceled After Miserable VIP Ticket Sales

Organizer Eric Deters announced he canceled the Freedom Fest event, featuring Kid Rock and Dog the Bounty Hunter, one week before it was set to take place at Morning View Farm in northern Kentucky.

Deters took to Facebook to bash the wealth class of the GOP.

"I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again. Ever," he said.

If you click on "patriotsdayfreedomfest.com," it redirects back to Eric's website.

The Daily Beast has more:

"I do countless favors for these people," he said. "These people—some of them—I got ignored!... Then there's a group of people that made an excuse, like, 'Oh, I was traveling.' Like their phone doesn't work while traveling. I even took the special test of giving some of them a hard time."

I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again. Ever," he said.

This shocking turn of events highlights the most glaring issue facing this country. The entire Republican Party survives at the pleasure of the uber-wealthy, including white supremacist Elon Musk.

If you look at dark money, they fund every venture, including media like Steve Bannon's Real America's Voice, all the way down to extremist evangelical websites, claiming they are prophets for Trump.

If the very rich stopped funding their insane fundamentalists, the entire Republican Party would collapse.

I've never seen a huge festival cancel a week before it was supposed to begin. If the bottom-feeding MAGA cultists fully supported their agenda, Deter would not need these VIP donors at all.

This shows the cracking of the cult at the seams, and no amount of Fox News propaganda can save them from the upcoming midterms.

This year's Freedom Fest, the Northern Kentucky MAGA gathering that usually draws thousands of conservative attendees and speakers, has been called off entirely just days ahead of its scheduled start on Saturday.

No one is buying tickets, so the show can't go on.
