NEGOP Throws a Nazi Rally in Western Nebraska; Local Press Totally Ignores It

We all remember the TPUSA and Nebraska Freedom Coalition sponsored event with Jack Posobiec that Creighton cancelled on Saturday, April 9th. But did you know the NEGOP sponsored another event starring the same antisemitic Pizzagate conspiracy theorist in Western Nebraska on April 8th? Did you know that at least three gubernatorial candidates and the elusive Adrian Smith spoke at this event? Of course you didn’t, because the local press hasn’t said a word about it, despite our sending them the receipts a week ago. In fact, not a single one of them, not even your beloved Flatwater Free Press or Nebraska Examiner, even bothered to reply to us. (We did not contact NOISE because this is very much a White People Problem)

If you are not familiar with Jack Posobiec or the situation at Creighton, please take a moment to read this quick article, which tells you exactly who we’re dealing with here. We’ll wait!

Ok, so as you now know from reading that article, Seeing Red Nebraska and everyone who isn’t a supporter of antisemitism, white nationalism, and conspiracy theories called Creighton to ask them just what the fuck was going on here. (To this day, Creighton has never responded to us). To our complete and utter shock, Creighton cancelled the event around 3:00pm on Friday, which we only found out through other channels, not from Creighton themselves. The secrecy of the location up until the last moment and the speed with which Creighton cancelled this event tells us 1) Nebraska Freedom Coalition knew they were booking a shitty person that would cause a huge uproar and 2) Creighton also knew allowing this event to go on would cause irreparable damage to their reputation.

While digging into the Creighton event, we discovered there was another event starring Posobiec and Raheem Kassam out by Ogallala on Friday, April 8th. This event featured all the prominent gubernatorial candidates as well as Adrian Smith, Mike Hilgers, and Bob Evnen. This event was sponsored by the NEGOP itself.
