James Comer, and Dog the Bounty Hunter was abruptly canceled on Monday, with the organizer blaming “rich people” for dismal sales.

Eric Deters, a former attorney and GOP gubernatorial candidate in 2023, announced in a Facebook video that Freedom Fest would not take place, after having been scheduled for Saturday at his Morning View farm, about 25 miles south of Cincinnati.

In past years, the political event drew thousands.

“If you haven’t been to this event before, I can assure you it will be the best political event you will ever, ever attend,” Deters said in a video on social media before canceling it.

“This is the best MAGA event, no question.” In his Monday video, Deters said his plan was for wealthy contacts to buy $1,000 VIP tickets so that regular admission tickets and parking could be free.

However, not nearly enough did.

“When I put together Patriots Day Freedom Fest, I put it together with the game plan and the idea that I could pay for it with VIP sales of $1,000 from these 100 people that I interact with on a regular basis,” he said.

Only six VIP tickets sold.

“Rank-and-file Americans are the backbone of this country—both political parties,” he said.

“I want to tell you something: rich people, as a whole, suck.” “Now I’m a rich person.

I live in one hell of a house.

I don’t suck, because I know that money isn’t what freakin’ matters the most.

It’s the fight, it’s the cause, it’s helping people,” Deters went on.
