FAFO! Killer Kyle Rittenhouse Gets Run Out Of Another City - The Logical Leftist



Kyle Rittenhouse was set to headline a “patriot” rally at the Woodlands Inn & Resort in Pennsylvania… until the community stepped in and said: absolutely not.

After calls, emails, and serious backlash from locals who didn’t want their town hosting a guy whose entire brand is killing two people at a BLM protest, the venue pulled the plug and canceled the event.

The right is already screaming “censorship” and “woke mob,” but here’s the truth:

This isn’t government silencing speech. This is a private business and a local community deciding they don’t want to normalize political violence for clout and ticket sales.

In this video I break down:

• What actually happened with the canceled Kyle Rittenhouse event
• Why this is free association and consequences, not a First Amendment violation
• How the local GOP tried to distance themselves once it got messy
• What it says about the modern right that this is one of their folk heroes
• Why more communities should be drawing this exact line
• If your movement needs a vigilante who killed protesters as one of its star speakers, you’ve already lost the moral argument.

The county where this resort is located gave Trump 59% of the vote. 5 of the 7 bordering counties voted Trump by even bigger margins (65% or more). The other 2 counties were basically 50-50 counties. So there's no real strong Democratic base anywhere near there, and even the right wingers who make up the population of the area didn't want Rittenhouse there.

While this is a pretty conservative area, having Rittenhouse come to stir the pot isn't good for business.

The area is struggling to survive. A lot of businesses have left downtown (Boscov's is still there) and have moved to the highway(s). They depend upon customers driving in from other places to shop.

Rittenhouse is a taint upon them and the fear is that the customers would just as soon shop elsewhere. He won't attract MAGA to give profits to those businesses.

At least, that's what I think.
