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.

    Banking services are an example of something that ex-cons have trouble obtaining.

    Maybe there's a logical reason for that? Like, it takes time to re-earn trust.

    Something like 90% of the population are not, and never will be, ex-cons. Ex-cons come in all colours, races, economic backgrounds, and educational levels. Because stupidity.

    Yes, laws are much more likely to be enforced against minorities, but how stupid do you have to be to not take that into account? Life isn't fair, news at 11.

    What trust does a bank need?
