Coulter Vows To Speak At UC Berkeley Despite Event Cancellation

BERKELEY (CBS SF) — A scheduled appearance by conservative commentator and writer Ann Coulter at the University of California later this month has been canceled because of concerns about safety and security at the event.

But Coulter tweeted on Wednesday that the speech would go on at another Berkeley venue.







“Yes, it was officially banned,” Coulter told the Hollywood Reporter. “But they can’t stop me. I’m an American. I have Constitutional rights.”

Word of the cancellation by UC Berkeley officials of the April 27th event comes just days after a violent encounter between far-right supporters and far-left protesters at a pro-Donald Trump rally in Berkeley in which multiple people were injured and arrested.

I'd love to see a situation like this in reverse. Conservatives think they can bully their way into getting what they want. Why don't we get some equal time?
