Hyatt Hotels responded to critics on Friday who demanded a boycott of the hotel chain over its decision to host the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida.
What did the hotel say?
A spokesperson for Hyatt said Hyatt is committed to providing “a safe and inclusive environment” to “care for people so they can be their best.”
The statement further added that Hyatt believes in diversity of thought, which made hosting CPAC a no-brainer.
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. 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. 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.
CPAC is typically hosted just outside of Washington, D.C., in National Harbor, Maryland. However, COVID-related restrictions forced conference organizers to relocate the annual event to Florida this year.
What is the background?
Democrats angry that Hyatt agreed to host the annual gathering of Republicans are calling for a boycott of Hyatt.
The hashtag “#BoycottHyatt” has been trending on social media, with thousands of angry people declaring to never give their business to Hyatt again. Many people even alleged that Hyatt was siding with Nazis and white supremacists by hosting CPAC at one of its properties.
- “Hey @Hyatt, we’re boycotting your hotels for supporting and allowing white supremacists to hold CPAC at your Orlando location. I travel a lot, and you just lost my business, and I’ll tell everyone I know to do the same. Shame on you,” one person said.
- “Dear @Hyatt since you are hosting the seditionists who are trying to over throw our government & spread the ‘Big Lie’, my husband, family & I will no longer be staying at your properties when we travel,” another person said.
- “The people at cpac started an insurrection that killed a cop and injured over one hundred cops and they aren’t sorry. They aren’t wearing masks. So I know I will never stay at another Hyatt again because if that’s how u define inclusive, I’m out,” another person said.
- “A platform for hate is not inclusive, Hyatt. A platform to spread the Big Lie that spawned a violent insurrection and is now fomenting another threatened one is not inclusive. Neutrality with nazis is endorsement of nazis,” another person said.
- “Looks like we must #boycottHYATT immediately for supporting Nazis!! @Hyatt you’re making a monumental mistake! We the people do not tolerate racist bull s***!!” another person said.
Anything else?
Former President Donald Trump will close out CPAC on Sunday by delivering the final speech of the conference.
Axios reported last week that Trump is planning to claim “total control” of the Republican Party during his speech, which will be the first of his post-presidential career. Sources told Axios that Trump will present himself to supporters as the “presumptive 2024 nominee” in a “show of force.”
Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Axios, “Trump effectively is the Republican Party. The only chasm is between Beltway insiders and grassroots Republicans around the country. When you attack President Trump, you’re attacking the Republican grassroots.”
Typical hateful liberals, no tolerance for others that don’t share their views. All they know is threats and name calling, their idea of looking superior. Anti American.
Suggest we start a resounding counter-narrative for the fascist left “cancel culture.” Patriots and Conservatives should pledge to stay in Hyatt hotels ONLY from now on.
F the liberal scumbags
What the dumb ass snowflakes don’t get is … the delusional democrats are the white supremacists , always have been and always will be . They still use blacks as they see fit . First they were slaves , their still slaves to some point that they kill young black girls for the delusional democrats cause . Guess the money is that good that they will kill their own while crying blm . You see all the dumb ass whites trying to be like the blacks while the blacks still see them as the enemy cause their white . Go figure !!! All this crap cause the delusional democrats arent that sure of their hold on the power . They know they lied and used voters fraud to win and know it can be taken away any minute so they have to keep their pets off guard and keep them fighting anything that’s not in favor of the delusional democrats for their power . Let the little pussys cry if they need to , it’s all they have left . It’s all coming to a end and they know it .
That’s okay Hyatt, there are tens of millions of us who WILL support your hotel!
Our company is looking for a new vendor for our staff travel. We were very disappointed in Marriott’s decision to not support conservatives.
Any buisness has a right to open or close of there own free will. What kills me is they cram people in planes and bars and Casinos but will close a moms and pops whatever. Beauty salons, restaurants and small buisnesses which are claimed NON ESSENTUALL mostly in Democratic states are closed and fined if they oppose the lockdown. Which they should tell them to take there fines an??? We cant let this keep happening. Other things even more Horrific are going on around us that we are not told about . But are being attacked now. That big business and the media dont want us to know.. Keep the faith. Let these IDIOTS have there 1st amendment say by there right. It will all come to a head by the grace of God our father. People WE CAN DO THIS.
In reality it is not Donald Trump that took control of the Repulsican party it is the conservative population of America that made Trump the current leader of the party. Many conservatives are not registered Repulsicans but are forced to vote that way by default as the only alternative to the communist party. The reason the population made Trump the leader is because Trumps ideas and agenda are most like we conservatives. The reason he is so loved and respected is because he loves and respects America the way his supporters do. He put America first and that meant he put Americas people first, totally unlike what the democRAT communist party does every day.
Totally agree. The lamestream media puppets have to spin everything for the REAL LIES to stay working. The Demonrats know that their coup is unstable & will come crashing down around them if they don’t have tight reins on what people see & hear every day. As for the Republican Party, it was floundering before President Trump’s campaign and him showing his support for blue collar Americans of all races, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, and which of the TWO genders they are. He had grown weary of the America last, globalist cabal first policies of the political elites that were destroying this great nation. Bottom line is he loves & supports us, so we love & support him.
I travel around this country quite a bit and will definitely patronize the Hyatt chain, even if it means going out of my way a few miles. Hyatt, by word and action, has demonstrated their commitment to the full meaning of “diversity” and “inclusion”. Those liberal far-left hate mongers demonstrate time and again their hypocrisy, their commitment to perpetuating hate and divisiveness, and their pathetic ignorance of what it really means to be an American citizen. Hyatt – please don’t ever lose this commitment or bend to the will of those who are so eager to destroy this country.
I used to wonder why we had to study history. Then I saw a bunch of ignorant people accusing other people of being Nazis through their own Nazi-like propaganda campaigns and realized, “So, that’s why.”
I think you gained more than you lost. Shore to get my vacation $
Having seen the comments from these leftist, ignorant morons and boycott the Hyatt facilities….makes me very pleased.
I know now, when I stay at a Hyatt establishment, the rooms are much cleaner, the clientele is of infinitely higher caliber and the trash has been barred from the premises. The sheets smell better already….
All the more reason for folks to book their next vacation or stay in a Hyatt. Who cares about the haters, they don’t spend money, they just look for handouts.
I have often used the Hyatt for business and personal. Excellent Hotels! Will continue in the future. All of this hate is so disturbing to me. We are with you and also CPAC. Trump 2024!
Democrats are Motel 6 people.
Charlie, democrats are certainly not Motel 6 people. Democrats rooms are paid for with tax dollars. Motel 6 is for people when working on the road need to conserve their money. So on working and on conserving democrats just don’t fit at all. Somebody else pays their bills, you and I.
Dear Hyatt;
The people that squeal boycott are the people that, when they do stay in hotel/motels trash the rooms, take everything that isn’t chained or bolted down.
Smear feces on the walls and mirrors just to cause problems for the cleaning crews and increase your expenses.
It’s ok with me if that type of person IS NOT the Guest that preceded me in that room.
I travel a lot every year “I WILL NOW ONLY BOOK MY ROOM WITH HYATT HOTELS” Nothing better than an All American with American Values. Good for you Hyatt Hotels give not quarter to these pigs/Democrats. You know we conservatives outnumber the others, it was proven in our elections that was stolen.
