A Florida Democratic Party official is demanding the Central Florida town The Villages stop showing the Dinesh DSouza film Hillarys America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party because of alleged threats made to local residents who expressed support for the Democrats.
The call to ban Hillarys America was reported by the Daily Commercial:
A top Democratic official in Sumter County has asked The Villages to stop playing a movie that he says portrays his partys presidential nominee in a negative light and will incite violence against party members.
Joseph Flynn, a Democratic state committeeman and a Sumter County resident of the retirement community, said three residents in The Villages have been threatened with harm within the last week because of their expressed Democratic beliefs.
He said he feels the retirement community showing Hillarys America will spark more threats. He said he met with a lieutenant from the Sumter County Sheriffs Office and The Villages management team early last week to convince them to stop the movie, to no avail.
Hillarys America debuted at the Old Mill Playhouse in Lake-Sumter Landing in The Villages on Friday with dozens of patrons packing the theater during its first showing at 10 a.m., according to a theater manager.
I have received a significant number of calls from people in Sumter County who viewed the trailer of this movie and voiced concern the movie will incite additional threats of violence against them and their property for being Democrats, Flynn said. Democrat lives matters
Flynn said Friday he still was trying to set up a meeting with senior managers of The Villages to stop them from playing the movie.
Flynn said that a Democratic sticker on a golf cart in The Villages elicited an If I had my gun with me I would shoot you response. He said another Democrat in The Villages who expressed her beliefs was threatened by someone who said they would shoot her with an AR-15.
Flynn said none of the incidents were reported to the sheriffs office, which the sheriffs lieutenant advised any victim to do in the future.
DSouza did not respond directly to the call to ban his film, instead he posted a link on Twitter to the Daily Commercial article.
A diehard Democrat tries to stop the movie from playing because he says it will make people hate Democrats
USA Today reported Hillary Americas cracked the top ten of films this weekend:
Hillarys America has landed in the 10th spot with $3.7 million in 1,217 theaters for a two-week total of $3.8 million, according to comScore.
Sorry DB...everyone knows the playbook by now!
Funny it’s the Democrat Party Official demanding that they stop showing the film - not any specific person.
DemocRATS = Jack Booted Thugs and Liars!
Hey, I live in Florida....You ant going to ban shit....this ant Cuba......Damn you sorry DemoRats.....
Threatening...
Yeah, right.
I don’t blame him. The Villages is full of dangerous people. /s
"Bull$hit"
The Clinton machine and its moving parts are feeling the heat of truth, as contained in the movie; therefore, the obvious answer is to censor, deny, use bravado and more untruths to wage battle against the "army" they perceive to threaten their path to power!
The Hillary-described "Clinton standard" has reached a new low!
To quote Christopher Hitchens: "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence!" ;)
LOL! Loved that episode. And Costanza deserved it.
So did Newt Gingrich!
I have hated liberals and other forms of RATs long before this movie came out.
Flynn said none of the incidents were reported to the sheriffs office, which the sheriffs lieutenant advised any victim to do in the future.
This proves the alleged "threats" are BS.
Ping!
Ah, those pesky unsourced death threats against liberals. Watch soon for the nooses and swastikas.
“Eat hickory!”
A Democrat blaming a Video. Where have I heard that before?
