A planned GOP rally in northeastern Pennsylvania imploded after the venue, facing fierce community outrage over Kyle Rittenhouse's keynote slot, abruptly shut the whole thing down.
Kyle Rittenhouse, who became a darling of the right after shooting three protesters in 2020, hightailed it off a stage at the University of Memphis on Wednesday night as a crowd of demonstrators booed him.

Soros paid agitators, just like Jan 6.

Can't tell if you're being funny or being stupid... Probably both.
Trump paid for the J6 insurrection.
New evidence unsealed of how Trump's Jan. 6, 2021 rally was funded
Budget documents show as much as $3 million for Jan. 6 rally and related events
$1 million was budgeted for Turning Point Action, a grassroots non-profit group founded in 2019 by Charlie Kirk to embolden young conservatives "through grassroots activism."
The money was earmarked for having TPA deploy social media influencers and students from around the country to Washington to attend the rally, to produce "all the video content at the event" and to run nationwide ads "educating millions about the significance of January 6th for President Trump."
Another $500,000 was budgeted for a group founded by Donald Trump Jr., "Save the U.S. Senate," to stop alleged voter fraud in Georgia and help re-elect Republican Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.

The individuals he shot would be alive if they had also stayed home.

NOTE:
Offer not valid for all MAGA killers.
On June 14, 2025, Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman was assassinated in a shooting at her home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, United States. Hortman, the leader of the state House Democratic caucus, was killed alongside her husband, Mark. Earlier that morning, state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot and seriously injured in their home in nearby Champlin and hospitalized. en.wikipedia.org
Alternately, it's like saying "she was dressed provocatively. That's not legitimate rape."

Kyle's defense for when he punched a woman has entered the chat.
www.snopes.com
This was just a few weeks before Kyle went on to kill other protesters.
Kyle systematically escalated his own violence, much like a killer starts with torturing small animals before moving on to humans.
George Zimmerman, haven't thought about him in a minute. Zimmerman isn't white, but he bears the torch for white nationalism, just like Herman Cain, and Chachi from Joanie Loves Chachi. It's a safe move until whites actually take over, and even for a while afterwards, and it's a great grift in the meantime, and everyone who supports fascism has already convinced themselves they can ride the whirlwind even though history shows it really doesn't work that way.
Anyway, you can really see how some of these people, who weren't necessarily all that much into politics before, end up at Trump's side. It's being a sexual abuser:
Allegations of abuse
On January 29, 2018, sexual misconduct allegations made by Nicole Eggert against Baio surfaced. In 2013 Eggert stated on the Nik Richie Radio show that she and Baio had a one-time encounter "years" after Charles in Charge ended, which would have been after 1990. In the more elaborated account, discussed on The Dr. Oz Show and Megyn Kelly Today, Eggert claimed that Baio molested her beginning in 1986 when she was 14, and that when she was 17, she had intercourse with him. Baio contends that he had sexual relations with Eggert only once, and that the encounter occurred after she had turned 18. Baio explained that Eggert's own words to Richie proved he did not have intercourse with Eggert while she was a minor, since the final episode of Charles in Charge aired in November 1990, ten months after Eggert turned 18.[32][33][34]
Several months later, Alexander Polinsky, another co-star in Charles in Charge, accused Baio of verbally abusing and physically assaulting him while on set.[33]

Following the links in the headline sure led to some completely fair and balanced headlines, totally not liberal clickbait ghost-written by Walter Winchell:
He Put On Like 100lbs': Kyle Rittenhouse Deletes Social Media Accounts and Immediately Becomes Laughingstock of the Internet After Finally' Disappearing from Public Spotlight atlantablackstar.com
I think Kyle's real sin,
in the eyes of right-wingers I mean, who obviously don't really love him
because they don't invite him to their reindeer games, and he doesn't orbit Trump
Is that Kyle Rittenhouse didn't cash in on a Meme Coin.
He failed to monetize his fame.
And they tried so very, very hard to whitewash him and set him up to be their next little pundit too.
He just... couldn't do it.
He's an undisciplined fat ----, which perfectly demonstrates why firearms are so appealing to Republicans
Because with firearms, a loser like Kyle Rittenhouse can become a Real Man and a Hero.
Voicing opposition is one thing; threats are outrageous and should be condemned, no matter the source.

What threats? Here is the only claim of a threat in the linked article, which unhelpfully is not the Bluesky piece:
"The Woodlands indicated that they were receiving threats from people opposing Kyle speaking, so they withdrew their venue from the event."
That does not necessarily indicate violence. That does however match what is mentioned earlier in the article:
"How absolutely disgusting of The Woodlands. Never stepping foot in there again if this actually happens," another resident responded. "What the f"k??? Allowed that piece of --- here???" another said.
That could be seen as a "threat" to the business.
But it is not a threat of violence.
It is a threat of holding Woodlands accountable for their actions.
Also from the article, local Republicans know they are not popular: "The Republican Party of Luzerne County moved quickly to put distance between itself and the gathering, stating it had "no involvement, affiliation or connection" with the independent NEPA Republicans event." So the local Republicans are already distancing themselves from the little killer.
Here's another headline: PLAINS TWP. " Community outrage has jeopardized plans for a Republican rally featuring a keynote address from Kyle Rittenhouse after the venue, the Woodlands Inn and Resort, received threats against its staff, according to organizers with the NEPA Republicans group. www.citizensvoice.com
That's not a threat. That's civic participation.
