‘Date a Dem’ speed dating event in NYC sabotaged by ‘unhinged’ Trump supporter
NY Post ^ | 10/05/24 | Angela Barbuti

A Trump supporter sabotaged a Manhattan dating event for Democrats by buying a bunch of tickets, then no-showing — leaving love-seeking lefties out of luck.

The facilitator of Date a Dem Speed Dating got a phone call from a blocked number shortly before the event — held at The Rose on West 25th Street in Chelsea on Sept. 18, the same day as Trump’s rally on Long Island — was set to begin.

“The gist of what was said by this individual was ‘F your snowflake event, we’re not coming, we’re all at the Trump rally,'” organizer Amber Soletti of Single and The City told The Post.

The saboteur bought several male tickets, so the ratios were skewed, making mingling awkward, explained attendee Keith Burgun.

“When I got there it was just me, one other guy and about 10 women,” he said.

The hopeful singles were “stunned at the situation,” said attendee Denisha McPherson, 38, a project manager from Brooklyn.

“We kind of shook our heads and said, ‘How polarized are we that someone would do something this unhinged,'” she said.

Organizers scrambled to pivot from the original format, which was for singles to go on multiple three to five-minute dates.

“So we all just sat in a circle and basically had a little discussion … things about what people’s experiences were dating and what they’re looking for,” explained Burgun, 42, a game developer who lives in Westchester.

Hey little miss drama queen... Liberals trying to assassinate president Donald Trump is unhinged... a conservative buying up tickets to a moronic speed dating event then not showing up is hilarious- especially when it elicits such over-the-top drama like yours lol

These were dems. 2 men, 10 women? The men were there to date each other, and so were the women. I don’t see the problem.

At least half of them were probably Trump voters.

I wonder if she thinks two (at least) assassination attempts on Trump's life were "unhinged?"

Wow. The Democrat Girl is a brain-washed zombie. Unfortunately there are many. And they are voting.

How much did it cost to pull this prank? Sounds expensive, but then again some people think I'm cheap.

Besides, why not just send in winos, street poopers, and illegal aliens if you already paid for the ticket? The photos/videos would be great proof of prank.

Yep. That is exactly how she came across to me, too. I forgot where she actually said:

“Trump lies all the time. In the debate, Trump lied 72 times, and Harris only lied something like, 4 times...”

Regardless of the sabotage of this event, most of these speed dating events are not successful because the men simply do not show for them. Why? Because women as a group have moved so far to the Left that they’ve become too difficult to deal with. As a result men are avoiding women at just about every turn.

The 1 guy who showed is a homo. He’s just the last to admit it.

“Speed dating” as such is a symptom of deep problems with society and human relations.

There are probably other similar events but it looks like the going rate is $35-$40 each. Sorry, I don’t think the story is true. Surely even the most rabid Trump supporter can find a better way to defeat Democrats than spending $320 on a speed dating event.

Surely the organizer knows who bought tickets and didn’t show. They’d have to leave credit card numbers, no?

I haven’t been to a speed dating event in about 20 years but when I did go, it was roughly evenly matched.

Maybe the organizer took only the first 10 men and 10 women and put the extra women on a waiting list.

I’m gonna call BS on this BS, I find far more likely that the event was an epic fail and rather than face the embarrassment and ridicule of the failure the democrats in charge did what democrats always do and made up a story about some ‘unhinged Trump supporter(are there any other kind according to the left) to blame for their epic failure.

Kind of like when the All-Female Ghostbusters flopped. They blamed it on Trump supporters.

“Attendees don’t “buy tickets” to such an event.”

Sure they do. It just isn’t with their own money. That’s what slush funds are for.
