Largest U.S. Bank Cuts Ties to Conservative Group, Canceling Donald Trump Jr. Event
The country's largest bank has cut ties with a Missouri conservative group, forcing an event that had been set to feature Donald Trump Jr. to be immediately canceled.
[....] Defense of Liberty founder Paul Curtman, a former GOP state representative, told the Missouri Independent that WePay informed him in a message that it would no longer do business with his group based on an alleged violation of terms of service and had refunded $30,000 in payments already processed for the event.
"It seems you're using WePay Payments for one or more of the activities prohibited by our terms of service," the message reportedly states. "More specifically: Per our terms of service, we are unable to process for hate, violence, racial intolerance, terrorism, the financial exploitation of a crime, or items or activities that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others regarding the same."
Maybe Trump Jr and Defense of Liberty political action committee should not promote such things?
Or . . . maybe those things are their core message, and appeal to their base.

Nazis are bad mmmmirrelevant.
Nobody in this story is promoting the german socialist workers' party nor any of its successor organisations (illicit or otherwise), and it's not even clear that people who voted for Donald Trump are traitors, otherwise you're going to need a whole new level of incarceration to house tens of millions of people (presumably before lining them up for the machineguns).
Why didn't this get an off-topic mod? Because we don't have a stupidly-off-topic mod?

When the GOP uses Nazi symbols at CPAC and their rallies frequently have people waving the Nazi flag it is safe to say they are Nazis. Oh well, reality isn't the strong suit of morons like you. I'm sure the majority of registered Republicans are good people, but they become evil when they blindly start goose stepping. Rightwing rhetoric is now ooenly advocating political violence and choads like you are desperate for everyone to ignore it.
