Oh… the hypocrisy of the left, the Mayor of the beautiful city of West Hollywood is a very pretty young woman who happens to be a lesbian, and we gather that she is also smart, outspoken and most likely very liberal and….a Dem, but she does not know anything about the First Amendment. So I guess she does not need our business, fair enough. No shopping, eating or entertainment in West Hollywood! – Celeste

West Hollywood Bans Trump In the Name of ‘Diversity’
Donald Trump is apparently so intolerant that the tolerant city of West Hollywood wants to ban him.
Speaking on CNN Tuesday, West Hollywood mayor Lindsey Horvath defended her position to ban Donald Trump in the name of “diversity” by saying the city is too “welcoming” to host Donald Trump. That makes perfect sense.
“You know, West Hollywood is a very diverse community,” Horvath told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Tuesday. “We’re over 40 percent LGBT. We have Russian-speaking immigrants, some of whom were concentration camp survivors. We’re the first declared pro-choice city in America. Our city is very diverse, we’re very open, we’re very welcoming. And that’s the kind of community we want to continue to be.”
Unaware of the complete logical fallacy at play, Horvath added that “Donald Trump has used hate speech, his violent tactics, and systemically targeting people for their religion, for their country of origin, for their gender, is not the kind of behavior, not the kind of language that we want in our community.”
Making good on her promise, Horvath has instructed city staff to refuse event permits to Trump’s campaign, saying his rhetoric goes beyond just mere disagreement. Asked whether or not she has the authority, let alone constitutional right to deny Trump from campaigning in her city, Horvath could only say that Trump has no right to speak his mind, because its “hate speech.”
“The city is going to follow the law,” Horvath said. “This isn’t about free speech, this is about hate speech. We are able and willing to exercise our voice and use our first amendment rights to say we want to elevate the discourse here. We’re demanding civil discourse. That’s not too much to ask, certainly not of someone who’s running for the highest office in the land. He should respect the office by treating it with the respect that it deserves.”
The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
