A conservative woman who was banned from an exclusive members-only Manhattan club has torn into the venue for caving to the ‘woke mob’.
Caitlin Sinclair, 28, said her Zero Bond membership was cancelled because of her views after she made a controversial Father’s Day post that read: ‘You are here because your dad’s not queer.’
‘Zero Bond, a club in Manhattan which prides itself for its diversity, removed me as a member because of my conservative beliefs,’ Sinclair told DailyMail.com on Monday.
‘The woke left is attacking me for a tongue-and-cheek Father’s Day social media post simply reflecting a scientific reality.
Sinclair says she has received hundreds of messages from all over the country since her story went viral last week.
She added: ‘The story is not about me, the post, OR the club… but rather the response that it elicited from Americans of ALL backgrounds and orientations.
‘Hundreds of people have reached out to me in the past few days openly expressing how intimidated and threatened they feel to speak their minds and practice their beliefs in this current environment.
‘Diversity is about so much more than the narrow lens in which it is discussed by today’s Woke Left Mob,’ she argued.
‘Diversity of thought is a threat to the Woke Left agenda, and so it is stifled.’
Despite being banned from the exclusive Zero Bond – a common hang-out spot for politicians like mayor Mayor Eric Adams – Sinclair said she will continue loudly voicing her conservative views.
‘I am a 5th generation New Yorker and one of the things I have always appreciated about NY is its diversity AND its tolerance… that’s what has made it a world class city.’ she told DailyMail.com.
‘I’ll never compromise on my pro family values and my support for President Trump.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Zero Bond for comment on this story.
In a statement to the New York Post, the club said: ‘We stand by our decision to revoke Caitlin’s membership as a result of her public, homophobic Instagram post and not because of her political affiliation.
‘It’s also come to our attention that Ms. Sinclair is attempting to exploit our club’s esteemed reputation for personal gain. Other than this, her baseless claims do not deserve any further comment.’
Sinclair said Zero Bond’s membership manager and one-time friend Duncan Menaker originally sent her an email asking her to ‘refrain from using the club’ after seeing the Fathers’ Day post.
But later in the day, Sinclair said, he called her to tell her her $3,850 annual membership was canceled.
‘A lot of your beliefs do not align with Zero Bond,’ Menaker reportedly told her.
‘He said I offended their members,’ Sinclair said. ‘You know what? Their members offend me.
‘There are members there who are huge Trump haters,’ she said as she defended her controversial post.
‘I was simply stating a fact. We cannot be born without a man and a woman,’ she previously told the New York Post.
‘I’m not saying I don’t support LGBTQ+. I have trans and gay friends – I never said anything offensive,’ she claimed, noting that she is friends with Caitlyn Jenner.
Many of those club-goers were her friends, Sinclair said.
‘They’re ostracizing me from my community,’ she said, claiming that many of the club-goers were her friends. I paid the money to go to a safe space.
‘If I went to the club wearing a MAGA hat or holding that sign [from the controversial post] that’s different,’ she continued.
‘But I never once brought my politics inside the club – that was my personal account that I posted on.’
The ritzy club has attracted such celebrities as Taylor Swift, Jared Leto, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly.
