No one's civil right have been violated, and if this were a privately funded rodeo, there would be nothing to say about it other than it is crass and childish. BUT, this was not a private rodeo. A State Fair is funded by taxpayer dollars. It is a violation of taxpayer's hard earned dollars being used to for partisan hackery that shows utter contempt for the Commander in Chief of the United States of America and our nation. It is as UN patriotic as it gets.
Wrong again, Comrade.
The rodeo is purely private. They RENT the stadium from the state for the event. The state MAKES money from the rodeo, it does not spend tax dollars. The fair grounds are owned by the government, but the rodeo itself is a purely private venture.
The county contributes over a half million dollars to the fair. So it is not purely private. It is in fact partly tax payer funded.
Of course it is.
All these public places are. Stadiums, parks, fair grounds..
The "fee" they charge to have events is anywhere close to what they'd be charged if it were a privately owned facility.
