Oh the shame of it all. A big libertarian conference has bought into cancel culture; they're censoring free speech. At least the true lovers of free speech still have

'Libertarian Conference Cancels Notorious White Nationalist'
“The Most Canceled Man in America” has, in fact, been canceled.
Nearly two weeks ahead of the libertarian conference FreedomFest, a lead conference organizer told The Daily Beast on Thursday night that officials had booted the holocaust-denying, Vladimir Putin-applauding, white supremacist rally-going Nicholas Fuentes from the conference’s lineup.
Fuentes had initially been scheduled to appear on a Freedom Fest panel titled “How to Fight the Information Police.” Fuentes was also supposed to host a screening of his short film, “The Most Canceled Man in America,” according to an agenda obtained by The Daily Beast.
But all of that was scratched, after the libertarian conference in Las Vegas thought better of associating with the notorious white nationalist.

“FreedomFest strongly believes in the fundamental right to free speech and free expression in our nation’s civil discourse,” [FreedomFest executive director Valerie] Durham said in an email. “However, we also reserve the right not to endorse certain points of view that lead our nation away from such discourse.”

Another far-right figure allied with Fuentes is having her own fight with FreedomFest. Activist and failed Delaware Senate candidate Lauren Witzke, who has aligned herself with Fuentes’s loyal “groyper army,” complained on Telegram this week that FreedomFest booted her from a panel.

“With regard to Lauren Witzke, she was invited by a sponsor to appear at FreedomFest, but we did not consent to have her speak at FreedomFest,” Durham said.
Despite apparently never securing a spot to speak at the conference, in an email to The Daily Beast, Witzke claimed the conference was committing “egregious discrimination against outspoken Christians.”
