Greene Reacts After Florida Resort Attempts to Cancel Jan. 6 Book Event: 'They lost!'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Stands Strong Against Cancellation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) responded to those who attempted to cancel her book-signing event commemorating the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Greene highlighted that a new location had been secured for the event and declared victory over the 'Communist Democrats' who opposed it.

Greene stated, 'The Communist Democrats tried to shut down my book signing. They lost!' She went on to announce that she will be signing copies of her new book, MTG, at a new venue in Orlando, FL.

The decision to move the event came after the Westgate Resort in Kissimmee, Fla., refused to host the book signing. The resort claimed that it was not aware of the purpose of the event and therefore canceled it. However, the Osceola County GOP Committee chair, Mark Cross, stated that the event will go on despite the venue change.

Political Backlash and Opposition

Florida state Rep. Anna Eskamani (D) criticized both Greene and the GOP for hosting an event revolving around the violent insurrection. Eskamani expressed her disbelief in a post on X, stating, 'Just another day in Florida where the local Republican Party in Osceola County is hosting an anniversary event to mark January 6th and Marjorie Taylor Greene is the special guest. Was really hoping this was a joke when I first saw it.'

Despite the criticism, Cross affirmed that the event will take place as scheduled and accused Democrats in Orlando of spreading misinformation about its purpose. He stated, 'The show must go on, and we are looking forward to welcoming Marjorie Taylor Greene to Orlando tomorrow.'

The cancellation of the event at the Westgate Resort highlights the political tension surrounding the commemoration of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The event's relocation and the controversy surrounding it underscore the continued divide between Democrats and Republicans over the events of that day.

Implications and Conclusion

The attempt to cancel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's book-signing event is a reflection of the ongoing political battles surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. While the cancellation by the Westgate Resort sparked controversy, a new venue has been secured in Orlando, and the event is set to proceed as planned.

The response from Greene and the determination of the Osceola County GOP Committee chair to proceed with the event despite opposition demonstrate the ideological divide in the aftermath of the Capitol riot. The debate over the significance and appropriate commemoration of Jan. 6 continues to reverberate through the political landscape.
