Conservatives have the right to gather and peacefully express their views, Hyatt Hotels said Friday.
The hotel chain began facing blowback from left-wing activists last week for allowing this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida.
“We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company,” a spokesperson for Hyatt told Fox Business.
“We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting meetings and events at our hotels align with ours,” the spokesperson said.
“Our own values support a culture that is characterized by empathy, respect and diversity of opinions and backgrounds, and we strive to bring this to light through what we do and how we engage with those in our care,” Hyatt added.
As noted by Fox News, a #BoycottHyatt hashtag spread on social media after it was learned that the hotel was allowing conservatives to host their event, “which some people alleged the company was endorsing by allowing it to happen at one of its properties.”
The targeting of the hotel ramped up over the weekend when left-wing activists floated the conspiracy theory that CPAC organizers intentionally set up the stage to reflect Nazi symbolism known as the Odal Rune.
Lead organizer of CPAC Matt Schlapp ripped those floating the conspiracy, calling the claims “outrageous and slanderous.”
“Stage design conspiracies are outrageous and slanderous,” he wrote to Twitter on Saturday. “We have a long standing commitment to the Jewish community. Cancel culture extremists must address antisemitism within their own ranks.”

PATRIOT PING
If I’m not mistaken the family that owns Hyatt is a liberal family. I think the owner was and ambassador for Obama
Sick, lying, evil people....
So true.
Thank you for posting this.
The beginning of two economies, meaning Second Civil War.
That a service corporation has to make these statements is a sign of the dictatorship and totalitarianism that has taken hold.
The losers participating in these boycotts aren’t really customers of Hyatt anyway, I bet. They’re just a bunch of pansy, Internet keyboard warriors. Hyatt did right but I wish they would have kept the explanation short and sweet. None of the PC mumbo jumbo is needed.
I'd say. One of the family members is the fat bastard governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker.
If I ever write a spy novel, that will be the name of the megalomaniac evil genius, Doctor Odal Rune.
And he will be a raving democrat.
Brought back a funny anecdote. The local area’s annual science fiction convention I used to attend (3,000-5,000 attendees usually) hoped to get a discount deal as an incentive to come back to the same hotel. Common thing to attract and keep conventions by hotel owners.
But about five times the hotels told the committee they were banned from coming back. Noisy room parties, nudity at the hotel pool, excessive drinking and other problems made disincentives such as “Don’t come back!” the norm. Funny.
Reposted because very well said.

Maybe he’s an old style liberal - one before the commies and thugs took over the party.
You gotta get up early if you want to beat Eastasia. We're always at war, don'tcha know.
BY THE WAY, the only losers in this are Hyatt -- their in-house PR comes off like a mope, and they never would have been this careless when BCW's robust Chicago office was AOR; they hired Zeno mid-pandemic and their London HQ, you think they give f about a mid-major chain in Chicago, forget it.
Where’s the convention being held now? Asking for a friend.
Hitler didn’t eat pork. Therefor all Muslims and Jews are nazis.
Swastikas are a common theme in Navajo blankets and traditional Hindu art work. Therefore all Navajo and Hindu are nazis.
Hitler was a socialist for “the worker.” Therefore, all socialists are nazis.
This is easy...
Feral people always act that way no cure it’s why their party is dead they can’t win any election without rigging it.
aka the Chicago mob
They reformed and are sometimes mistaken for a church group. I haven’t attended in years so I don’t know.
Science fiction in apparently 80% LGBTQ and Dem. Magazines seek “gender bending characters” and socialist looking futures. No thanks.
Sorry they reformed. I’m not really that interested in Science Fiction, but I am interested in events that feature nudity and excessive drinking.
Cancel Culture - bump for later....
