Rittenhouse blasts ‘woke mob’ for pressuring venues hosting him in Las Vegas and Texas to cancel

Kyle Rittenhouse has criticized the ‘awake mob’ for pressuring venues in Las Vegas and Texas to cancel their conference events.

Rittenhouse was due to speak in the Oak Room inside the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Resort on the Las Vegas Strip.

Rittenhouse was also due to appear at the Southern Star Brewery in Conroe, Texas, but claimed that they, too, had “bowed down to the woke mob.”

“I tried to promote it so that people would come and hear about censorship and the Second Amendment, and they didn’t like it when they bowed down to the crowd and said we’re canceling this event.”

He added that recently “the Oak Room at the Venetian canceled on us and bowed to the aroused crowd.”

In a statement, the brewery said: ‘Southern Star Brewery is an apolitical organization. But we feel that this event does not reflect our own values ​​and we could not in good faith continue to rent our space for the 1/26 event. We don’t do rallies, we do beer for people who like beer.’

Following the cancellation, the brewery said it had been inundated with harassment and some threats.

“It’s been kind of a storm,” Southern Star Brewery CEO Dave Fougeron said. KBTX. “But now I am more certain than ever that I made the right decision.”
