I hope to see you all at future events here. (Apart from the ones who have threatened myself and staff, you are not welcome).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cancelation followed the circulation of an online <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.avaaz.org\/community_petitions\/en\/scott_donaldson_oppose_the_reawaken_america_tour_at_the_main_street_armory_2\/\">petition<\/a> to cancel the event, signed by more than 2,300 area residents, which alleged that those involved with the tour were \u201cpromoters of violence\u201d and that the event was \u201clikely to draw white supremacists and other members of hate groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, tour founder and organizer Clay Clark has asked people to hear him out on why such politicized claims are baseless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive of the seven pastors that are on the tour regularly are black, so it\u2019s hard to say that it\u2019s a \u2018racist, white supremacist event\u2019,\u201d he said. \u201cAs far as inciting violence, we\u2019ve had candlelight services, we have baptisms at every event, and we encourage people to pray for our country. So nothing could be further from the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, according to Clark, venue cancelations are not a novel occurrence for the tour.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/03\/12\/DSC01542.jpg\"><\/a> Host Clay Clark kicks off the weekend ReAwaken America Tour in San Diego, Calif., on March 11, 2022, with about 3,000 people<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ReAwaken America Tour is heading to New York, unshaken by recent attempts to de-platform the event.
