On Friday evening, Florida attorney Daniel Uhlfelder posted a copy of a flyer promoting the Fighting for Missouri event on Twitter, resulting in an immediate social media backlash against Loews. Political strategist Rick Wilson retweeted Uhlfelder's post, adding, "
"I wonder if @Loews_Hotels knows they're hosting a man who encouraged a violent mob with a raised fist salute just hours before they stormed the Capitol and murdered a cop?" Steve Schmidt, who previously worked on President George W. Bush's campaign, wrote that if Lowes

So now he’s trying to promote some family-friendly event for $5,000 and you bring your family down and go to Universal in the middle of a pandemic, after [he’s] incited an insurrection? You can’t make this stuff up. I was shocked, I thought it was a joke.”
