Donald Trump Jr. To Talk Politics In Camden County
Trump's eldest son, who promoted his father's efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election results, is coming to South Jersey.
COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Donald Trump Jr., a Trump Organization executive who promoted his father's efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election results, is coming to South Jersey.
Former president Donald Trump's eldest child will headline "Politics & Pints" next week at Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood. The event will feature a conversation that "will cover the election, the state of our union, and Trump Jr's worldview," according to 1210 WPHT, the Philadelphia talk-radio station running the event.
Trump is executive vice president of The Trump Organization, running his father's enterprise with his younger brother, Eric. In recent years, he has promoted several conspiracy theories, including echoing then-president Donald Trump's false claims that he won the 2020 presidential election.

Two days after the election, as votes were being tallied, Trump texted then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to outline plans to subvert the Electoral College and ensure his father's second term, CNN reported. Trump spoke at his father's rally on Jan. 6, 2021, which took place before rioters stormed the Capitol, where Congress was set to certify Joe Biden's electoral victory.
At the rally, Donald Trump Jr. told Republicans in Congress to fight the election results, saying, "If you're gonna be the zero and not the hero, we're coming for you."

Trump baselessly claimed in 2020 that Biden is a pedophile, later saying he was "joking around." In 2018, he retweeted a conspiracy theory that George Soros — a Holocaust survivor and Democratic mega-donor who has been a lightning rod for antisemitic attacks — was a Nazi.
At the Collingswood event, a $500 VIP ticket includes a pre-event meet and greet, a commemorative "Politics & Pints" tumbler, and a copy of "Letters to Trump" — a photo book highlighting Donald Trump's letters to world leaders and prominent figures. A ticket with the book costs $195.
The event starts at 7 p.m. July 30 at Scottish Rite Auditorium (315 White Horse Pike). Click here for tickets.
