The MAGAs canceled their event at the Villages.

In a nutshell, there was push back by the residents and there was no way to confirm that ticket holders were going to be fans of J6. But Maga's excuse was that their event was so popular that they didn't want to overburden the police department.

MAGA Club calls off J6ers’ visit after meeting with top brass in The Villages

The Villages MAGA Club decided to call off a controversial upcoming event after a meeting with top officials from The Villages.

Tommy Jamieson, head of the MAGA Club, confirmed on Friday the cancellation of the Feb. 28 event which would have featured some of the people arrested in the Jan. 6, 2021 violence at the U.S. Capitol. They have since been pardoned by President Trump.

The event, which was to take place at the Rohan Recreation Center, set off a firestorm of controversy in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown, culminating in a standing-room-only crowd showing up at Thursday’s Community Development District 10 Board of Supervisors’ meeting at SeaBreeze Recreation Center. The residents demanded the cancellation of the event, although the CDD 10 board had no authority over it.

After making the decision, the MAGA Club issued the following statement:

The Villages MAGA Club received an overwhelming response to our MAGA sold-out event scheduled for Friday, February 28th at Rohan Recreation Center. Unfortunately, while intended to be a peaceful event, it has been determined that the logistics of this event will create a large impact for our local law enforcement and the first responders to provide support in safety, parking, and crowd control. As a huge supporter of law enforcement and first responders, the leadership of MAGA has determined that it is not in the best interest of residents to pull these vital agencies from performing their emergency duties. Until further notice, MAGA leadership has decided to cancel the event on February 28th. We will continue to support those who were treated so unjustly by the Biden administration and the leftwing media. Despite all the worries or concerns about the pardoned J6ers, they were coming here in peace to tell their story, not to take over The Villages or cause violence. The Villages MAGA Club did not want any of the law enforcement, first responders, recreation employees, The Village’s staff, or the attendees to be harmed or injured in anyway. Trump won, get over it.

1. This is so nuts on so many levels

The MAGA Club? We know they are all in the cult, but now they have also formed their own club? To all sane and rational people, that might as well be called the Morons-r-Us Club. It’s a club full of members who are staggeringly stupid gullible suckers. Do they have a special clubhouse? A special handshake? They are actually joined together in a club that celebrates a racist, bigoted, mysogynistic felon, and they put together a meeting to celebrate criminals who invaded the Capitol, attacked police, sought to kill Pelosi and hang Pence—and this club thinks they are heroes.

Absolutely insane.

4. Wait until they set up a MAGA church

Of course they will then claim their activities are tax exempt, including the sale of "holy relics"

2. The Villages residents should be very unhappy

Trump and Musk are stealing their retirements and healthcare.

3. It Takes a Village

I'll call BS on the "law enforcement and first responders" stuff. Most folks living in Florida's Friendliest Hometown are staunch Republicans, but not of the mouth breathing, knuckle-dragging MAGA variety. I suspect "normal" Villagers didn't want all the negative media coverage these J6 yahoos would attract, possibly bringing down property values.

6. I heard that J6 chorus member were going to perform at the Kennedy center

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also cancelled. Can you imagine the protesters outside of the center ? It will get real ugly. A lot of pissed off laid off government employees, capitol cops off duty and others who hate what the 🍑💩🤡 is doing to our democracy and economy.

8. I honestly hope we don't have any events at the Kennedy Center while he's in charge.

We need to drive these fascists out of power wherever possible.

7. Good! Fuck 'em! Drive these psychos out of their stupid events wherever they go.

Let them know they are not welcome here or in your area.

10. A gated city of elderly inviting known lowlifes in on purpose?

Good idea, gramps, run with it.
