A place in Central Florida called off an event with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia. They found out that the event was supposed to remember the third anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The event, organized by the Republican Party of Osceola County at Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee, was initially presented to Westgate as a simple book-signing event with Greene, without mentioning anything about January 6.
“Please be advised that Westgate was not made aware of the purpose of this event when we were approached to host a book signing,” Westgate Resorts said in a statement. “This event has been canceled and is no longer taking place at our resort.”
Greene declined to talk about the situation when NBC News in Iowa asked for her response to the cancellation. She was in Iowa for an event related to former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
“I really don’t understand the point of your question. It doesn’t make any sense. Aren’t we talking about President Trump? Aren’t we’re talking about Iowa?” she added, calling the question “stupid.”
An invitation to the event described it to local Republicans as a “Exclusive event with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene” at Westgate Resorts; NBC News broke the story first.
The “Occasion” was listed as the “3rd Anniversary of Jan 6” in the event information.
Attendees could meet Greene and “receive a signed copy of her book” for $45 to $1,000.
