The City of Riverside announced on Friday that the event, which was planned for 6 p.m. on Saturday, would not proceed at the Riverside Convention Center after it was "widely condemned" by residents, according to a press release from the city. Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson called the rally "divisive" and welcomed the decision from the Raincross Hospitality Corp., which manages the convention center through a city contract.
"These quotes are going to make great exhibits in the lawsuit @RepMTG and I will be filing," Gaetz wrote in response on Saturday, retweeting images shared by a journalist of the city's press release.
Mayor Pro Tem Gaby Plascencia said. "I am disappointed we even got to this point, because these speakers are the antithesis of everything Riverside stands for."
"Radical communists have spent the last week trying to cancel our America First Rally w/ @mattgaetz. Violent threats from BLM/Antifa were used again today to bully another venue," she tweeted Saturday.

I wonder if they had any advance sales, or buys? What about people who wanted to go? Can’t they sue?
This is part and parcel of government violating free speech or hiring vendors to do it for them.
I really do hope they sue, and keep appealing until it get’s out of La-La land woke judge-ville.
guess its back on in Anaheim tonight, lots of crazies with be out protesting.
BLM/Antifa are the current Brownshirts/Blackshirts of the Left.
Anaheim canceled....ya’ think dizzyland had a part in that?
We really gotta put these wokesters(idiot commies) out of business. Gonna’ have to forego the dopamine dump in the brain.
I got a message that it's on in Anaheim--which is more convenient for me, since it's just down the street.
Pretty much cancels any thoughts I might have been entertaining about “California coming around”
Darn LGBT queers running Riverside, ban all business with Riverside! (That’s how liberals do things.)
A small cadre of domestic terrorists have intimidated public venues into shutting down pro-American speakers.
Unless officialdom in California steps up to put an end to antifa/blm extortion, California will be unable to come around.
Riverside, (along with the rest of California), needs Forensic Audits of their elections.
Probably be interesting to also look into any money these dem pols have access to. How much, (if any), have they stolen from the taxpayers?
And since they violated the free speech rights of Americans, the people should assemble and demamd that they immediately resign from office.
Sure hope Gaetz litigates this broken contract.
Shouldn’t this attention whore be serving his constituents in Florida?
Gaetz continues his hijack of the America First movement.
well that’s what they get for trying Riverside, a bastion of university dems in a sea of a (still) Republican county.
Next time, schedule it for the Storm Stadium at Lake Elsinore
I just saw this. Looks like Anaheim wimped out also.
Finally a view from the Left.
At some point, this is all going to come to a head...I just hope the republicans get some backbone when it does and the conservative citizens aren’t alone in the ensuing fight...
And the Amen corner chimes in to assist his buddy.
LOL at what Riverside supposedly stands for..I think I know, I hear it everyday, murder this, assault that..I guess its only Ok to protest if you plan on burning a Target store to the ground and looting
Nah trust me, I live here, California is always gonna be a sh*thole..no Republican will ever win this state its too far gone
