Wichita makeup artist Gypsy Freeman was very excited to win the Kat Von D Instagram makeup contest.

The winner and her guest would be flown to California to attend the launch party of a new makeup line.

But after Kat Von D discovered she was a Trump supporter they disqualified her.

Kansas.com reported:

An Instagram post showing support for President Donald Trump apparently disqualified a local makeup artist from a national contest.

Gypsy Freeman, who splits time between Wichita and Florida, last month was declared the winner of an Instagram contest sponsored by Kat Von D Beauty, according to screenshots taken by Freeman.

The winner of the Saint + Sinner Contest – and a guest – was to be flown to Los Angeles to attend the launch party of a new makeup line from Kat Von D, perhaps best known for her role on “LA Ink.” The approximate value of the prize package, which included a $500 gift card to Sephora, was $2,100.

To enter, Freeman submitted an Instagram image of an angelic figure beside a girl in an all-black outfit and thick mascara.

When Freeman was announced as the winner, curious Instagrammers went to her page and found a pro-Trump post from Election Day last year.

That evening, she received a direct message from Kat Von D’s personal Instagram account, telling her the celebrity had “drawn a personal line in the sand between myself and anyone who supports that man,” according to screenshots of the conversation.

“My launch party [and my brand] celebrates many things that Trump is against,” the celebrity went on to say, according to the screenshots. “And I just need you to know that I personally have a hard time with inviting anyone who would support such an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump.”

anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump.”


Can any liberals, anywhere, cite any examples of how Trump is anti-feminist and anti everything else here??

This has become a liberal screed, that Trump is anti-everybody who isn’t a white male rich Republican. It’s a big lie repeated so often that it becomes accepted as conventional wisdom, by liberals and the media anyway. But how true is it?

We’ll never know because the liberals and media will never confuse themselves with the facts. For example, the fact that Trump has a good record hiring and promoting women in his businesses is glossed over, because it contradicts the narrative that he’s anti-woman.

The fact that he said “pussy” in a vaginal context, apparently overrides everything else he has ever done in his life.

I think that giving the lady the $2,100 prize money, in exchange for a promise not to sue, would be cheap lawsuit insurance.

Company is totally classless. The right thing to do would have been to give her the prize money, and then privately explain that having her over would create unwelcome controversy. Instead they effectively slandered her character on a public medium. If I were the company’s lawyer I would be taking extra blood pressure meds right now.

Fine the business and send the owners to state-mandated diversity training.

“... I personally have a hard time with inviting anyone who would support such an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump.”

In the 50’s leftists had a problem with blacklisting people for their political beliefs (like communists). Now that they are the establishment it is back in style. More proof that leftists only pretend to be for free speech and free expression until they are in power.

Sounds to me like someone First Amendment right was violated, and a LARGE AMOUNT of compensation is in order.

Finally, a case that Jeff Sessions can handle.

He's recused from "anything related to the election" and this could possibly be construed as "related to the election". So no, can't even touch this one.
