A California hotel booted an 'America First' event because Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Greene were speak
A hotel in Laguna Hills, California, canceled a July 17 event after it realized it was hosted by GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Orange County Register reported.
The staff at the Pacific Hills Banquet & Event Center on Moulton Parkway believed they were hosting a "gathering," Javad Mirtavoosi, the hotel's general manager, told the Orange County Register. Instead, they were hosting one of Gaetz and Greene's "America First" rallies, according to the report.
"As soon as we found out who the speakers were we immediately canceled it," Mirtavoosi told the outlet. The manager declined to tell the outlet whether political differences were responsible for the venue canceling the event.
"We just want to stay clear of that," he told the outlet.
Greene, a Republican from Georgia, and Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, are still selling tickets and plan to host the event elsewhere on the same day, according to the report.

And you can search on it using keywords and you can instantly know how toxic and vile these people are! 
Also; 
That's what this quote says to me: "As soon as we found out who the speakers were we immediately canceled it," Mirtavoosi told the outlet.
I wonder if they tried a few other places first, got a less than warm response, and decided to try flying under the radar. If so, I'd say that tactic blew up in their faces. 
...doesn't mean they can't be frugal!
