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

Deters took to Facebook to announce the festival’s cancellation and deliver a rant calling out the wealth class of the GOP, announcing, “I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again. Ever.”

The Daily Beast shared more of his rant, where he continued to complain, alleging that people were dodging him and making up excuses for why they wouldn’t be attending.

“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.”

There Is A Much Bigger Issue Facing The GOP

Crooks and Liars points to a much bigger issue: the Republicans heavily relying on money from ridiculously wealthy donors like Elon Musk and cracks in the MAGA cult wall, signaling that the upcoming midterm elections will be a disaster for the GOP.

Per Crooks and Liars:

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.

Welp.

Why Deter is stunned that no one wanted to see Kid Rock, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and other MAGA rejects is beyond us.
