Two More Venues Cancel Michelle Malkin Lecture in Maine
Breitbart ^ | 18 January 2020 | TOM CICCOTTA

Michelle Malkin speaking at an event in Greenville, South Carolina.

Two additional venues have canceled a lecture event featuring conservative commentator and author Michelle Malkin. The event was first moved to the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston, Maine, after a local hotel canceled the event as originally planned by a group of University of Maine students. Malkin’s second backup location has now also canceled her planned lecture. It appears the event will still happen, but details on a fourth venue have not been made public as of this writing.

According to a local news report, the Gendron Franco Center announced on Friday that it canceled a Friday night event featuring conservative commentator Michelle Malkin.

Breitbart News reported on Friday morning that an event organized by conservative students at the University of Maine had been canceled after the university announced the student group sponsoring the event was not an official campus organization.

The event was moved to the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston, Maine. But on Friday morning, the center announced without explanation that it was canceling the event. Event organizers quickly regrouped and moved the event to the nearby Martindale Country Club in Auburn, Maine. Shortly thereafter, the club canceled the event as well.

Michelle Malkin gave Breitbart News the following statement: “My message to America First citizens is this: The only way to fight cancel culture is to cancel your fear of the establishment on the Open Borders Inc Left and the Right. I am grateful that my book tour has exposed me to the everyday heroes fighting for our country who are sick of swamp people in Washington and in their own backyards. It is especially important to support young people defying university bullies and political mafia bosses. They have the most at stake.”

This is how they suppress truth and control minds.

They’re no-doubt proud of their fear and their cowardice.

Obviously Maine is a hotbed of Asian American hatred and discrimination.

This is what the brownshirt NAZIs did.

No opposition speech allowed.

centralmaine.com comment section contains this poster’s view...

“The whole thing scares me in that nothing good ever comes from a group who refers to it’s members as “Patriots””

Makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

I am so sick of the bully tactics that the left is using and no authority is standing with those of us on the right.

I always carry but rarely open carry. In the future, if I am going to attend any political rally {like the old TEA party rallies} I will open carry.

When the TEA party rallies first started here in my area of W PA, one of the local organizers was the owner of a gun shop, so there was a large presence of open carry attendees, and there was NEVER any hint of trouble.

Looking back, ya think there might have been some relationship to the presence of armed citizens and the lack of antifa type bullies?

“the University of Maine ... canceled ... the Gendron Franco Center in Lewiston, Maine ... announced without explanation that it was canceling ... the nearby Martindale Country Club in Auburn, Maine ... canceled the event as well.”

The intolerant, totalitarian left can’t win in the free market of ideas and so has to shut down all opposing voices.

Ideas that cannot withstand scrutiny are nothing more than religious belief systems with a pseudo-logical superficial overlay as weak camouflage. they occupy universities as a high ground from which to attempt to defend the indefensible.

The dark corners of left cannot withstand the light of logic.
