Geico, the second-largest car insurance company in the United States, canceled an event with anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour after backlash from Jewish groups, the Times of Israel reported Thursday.
“We apologize to our employees, customers, and others for our initial plan to invite Linda Sarsour to speak at our internal event,” Geico said in a statement. “Geico does not condone hatred of any kind, and we do not stand for or with anyone who does.”
The company had invited Sarsour, who calls herself a pro-Palestinian activist, to speak at a “diversity event” for Middle Eastern North African Heritage Month.
Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign denounced Sarsour, who supports the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. She also has been affiliated with anti-Semitic extremist Louis Farrakhan and once participated in a conference call for his supporters. The left-wing Women’s March organization in 2019 forced Sarsour to step down from its board after facing pressure because of her anti-Semitism.
Sarsour has written that “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” expressed support for Palestinian terrorists, and compared Zionism to “white supremacy.”
Jewish groups blasted Geico for hosting Sarsour.
The far-left speaker’s “extensive record of trafficking in incendiary, anti-Semitic comments about the Jewish people and Israel makes her utterly unfit to be the face of Geico’s ‘diversity and inclusion’ campaign,” the American Jewish Committee tweeted .
News of Geico canceling the event comes on the same day two people were murdered in the fourth terrorist attack to hit Tel Aviv in just over two weeks.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
