Marjorie Taylor Greene's planned Jan. 6 celebration booted out of Florida venue: report
A planned meet-and-greet with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commemorating the third anniversary of the January 6 attack has been left without a venue after Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee canceled their booking, reported NBC News on Thursday.
"The event was set to be hosted by the Republican Party of Osceola County at the Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee. It was originally pitched to Westgate as a small book-signing event featuring Greene, without mention of Jan. 6," reported Matt Dixon. "'Please be advised that Westgate was not made aware of the purpose of this event when we were approached to host a book signing,' Westgate Resorts said in a statement. 'This event has been canceled and is no longer taking place at our resort.'"
"The event, which was first reported by NBC News, was touted to local Republicans as an 'Exclusive event with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene' at Westgate Resorts, according to an event invitation," said the report. "The event details said the 'Occasion' was the '3rd Anniversary of Jan 6.' The cost to attend was $45 to $1,000 to meet Greene and 'receive a signed copy of her book.'"

Neither Greene nor Osceola County Republican Party Chairman Mark Cross responded to requests for comment.
Greene, who according to a separate Raw Story investigation is also set to appear at another event that day with convicted Capitol rioter and West Virginia-based conspiracy theorist congressional candidate Derrick Evans, which is still up as of press time, was further put under the spotlight this week by reporting that she profited from suspiciously-timed stock trades.
She denied this report and claimed that the trades in question were actually made by one of her sons.
