Alaska Fair Rejects 1-Day Moms for Liberty Booth as Group Weighs Legal Action

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 1

Moms for Liberty said the Tanana Valley State Fair in Fairbanks rejected its application for a one-day booth, with the local chapter receiving the denial in an April 27 letter.
Fair executive director Scott Vance said the decision reflected alleged disruptive conduct by local members — including lacking decorum at board meetings and antagonizing staff and association members.
The dispute escalated after an April 15 board meeting where activist David Leslie urged the fair to bar the group, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center's 2022 designation of Moms for Liberty as an extremist group.
Chapter chair Gail McBride challenged the decision in a June 25 letter, calling it an attempt to cancel conservatives, while national president Tiffany Justice said the group is exploring legal action.
The clash highlights a broader fight over the SPLC's hate-group labeling, which Moms for Liberty says has been used elsewhere to block its participation in public events.
