    “I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again,” former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate and event host Eric Deters, who throws the event on his farm, said on Facebook Monday. “When I put together Patriot State Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with the VIP sales of $1,000 from these hundred people that I interact with on a regular basis that have money.”

    . . . “Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,” he said. “None of these people will ever, ever, ever get a favor from me again, ever. Not only will they never get a favor from me again, they do not have Bulldog immunity.” He also lashed out at the media for not adequately covering the event.

    lol

      “Waaaa, some people I know didn’t buy tickets for my shitty event! I’m never doing anything to help them again!”

      That diatribe alone should show he’s unfit for office.

      Edit: The eejit is an attorney. Astounding.

        Hey now. I’m told quid-pro-quo is totally okay as long as it’s a conservative doing it.

        I feel gross to even try and look it up, but I did the dirty work for ya. Seems that he is the “bulldog” and immunity is referring to his “wrath”. Idk, I didn’t dig further, just took a screen shot and figured that’s as much as anyone needs to know about what this twat thinks. Peaked as a douche in highschool vibes

          That describes about 2/3 of that base. The ones who can be found at Walmart or big box hardware stores wearing camo cargo shorts and sleeveless tshirts with their moobs hanging out

      Haha what an idiot. Buddy, you weren’t “doing favors” for those people, they were simply using you until they didn’t need you anymore.

      “Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something, I never say no. I never said no to these people,” he said.

      Right. That’s because rich people feel entitled to others’ favors. People do free things for them all the time just because they are rich. Your favors are a drop in the bucket, and just one more way that wealthy people get away with paying less than the rest of us do.

      I looked this guy up. He’s 63. I can’t imagine going that long without figuring out that rich people don’t give a fuck about others. Dude’s probably going through an existential crisis right now.
