The Independent • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The Patriots Day Freedom Fest, organized by MAGA influencer Eric Deters and featuring Kid Rock and Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, was cancelled due to poor VIP ticket sales, with only six $1,000 tickets sold.
- Deters had planned to make the event free for general attendees, relying on VIP ticket sales from wealthy supporters to cover costs, but expressed frustration and disappointment at their lack of support.
- Despite previous years’ popularity, with appearances by figures like Candace Owens and Donald Trump’s sons, Deters announced he would never hold the event again and criticized wealthy contacts for ignoring his requests.
- The cancellation sparked significant media and social media attention, prompting Deters to clarify that the event’s failure was financial, not due to lack of general support, as regular attendance would have been free.
