Conservative PAC Cancels Event With Trump Jr. After JPMorgan Chase Subsidiary Cuts Ties With Group, Then Backpedals
A Missouri-based conservative political action committee has canceled a fundraiser featuring Donald Trump Jr. after a payment processor owned by the nation’s largest bank reportedly canceled its contract with the group, refunded $30,000 in ticket sales, then said it had made a mistake and reversed its decision.
The Defense of Liberty PAC event was scheduled for December 3 in St. Charles, a suburb of St. Louis. The organization was expecting approximately 3,000 people to attend. An organizer said tickets ranged from $70 to $250 and included a $500 per person pre-event with Trump Jr.
According to the Missouri Independent, WePay, a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, told the PAC last week that it was cutting ties and would not do business with the group in the future, citing a terms of service violation.
A copy of a message sent to the PAC that was forwarded to The Independent reportedly said, in part, “Per our terms of service, we are unable to process for hate, violence, racial intolerance, terrorism, the financial exploitation of a crime, or item or activities that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others regarding the same.”
The outlet reported, “On Wednesday night, after The Independent reported that the event was canceled and the reason, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase wrote in an email that the decision had been a mistake.”
“After further review, we determined that this organization didn’t violate terms of service, and we are reaching out to the client to discuss reinstating the account,” the statement said. “To be clear, we have never and would never close an account due to a client’s political affiliation.”
Former state Rep. Paul Curtman, a Republican who founded the PAC, told The Independent that even though WePay reversed course, the disruption would still result in the event being canceled and rescheduled. Organizers are considering dates in February.
The group’s website says the gathering is “being rescheduled due to leftist attempts to cancel us.”

During the 2020-election not only did they take social media site Parler off the internet, but they put pressure on everyone Parler did business with to cut ties w/ Parler including all their payment processors and financial business accounts.
A couple of months ago conservative Dinesh Dsouza reported that his Chase business account he had for years had been abruptly cut off w/ no explanation and they wouldn’t give him one.
The only reason JP Morgan “backpedaled” this time is b/c Fox News reported it and exposed them on the national-level, and the Missouri AG said the state would no longer do business w/ JP Morgan if they continued to go after people b/c of their political believes.
Oh, well, they should be able to find baseball mits and guitars. They make em for lefties too.
