From what I've been hearing, at the Trump rally last night:
- Blystone supporters were prevented by Lorain GOP party members from entering areas where television cameras might see them if they were wearing Blystone shirts. They had to wear them backwards or inside out.
- Blystone was forced to sit in an area away from all the other candidates who attended, even though he was promised to be seated with the other candidates.
Now, the seating thing I can live with. It's rude and should still be addressed, but it is what it is. However, Lorain GOP members UNFAIRLY RESTRICTING FREEDOM OF SPEECH of some people smacks of nothing short of the same gestapo-style garbage as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Yes, I'm comparing the Lorain County GOP to the BLM terrorists who attacked our nation, because that's what they - or at least the ones who helped organize/run the event - appear to share values with. Shameful and disgusting if this is true.
ETA: If someone can confirm or deny this, I'd much appreciate it. I don't want to be spreading false information. However, if this is true, I think that everyone needs to know and those responsible need to be removed from leadership positions for any future events and a public apology issued by the county party.
