It’s she said, they said. Earlier today, Fox News reported Ann Coulter canceled her speech at Berkeley. Groups were making threats of violence, but now, Coulter is saying it was Berkeley who canceled her appearance.
She tweeted the following:
I’m so sorry Berkeley canceled my speech. I’m so sorry YAF acquiesced in the cancelation. And I'm so sorry for free speech crushed by thugs.

I’m so sorry Berkeley had a different story every 20 minutes, which always was: No speech.

If we had continued to fight we would have won.

I’m very sad about Berkeley's cancelation, but my sadness is greater than that. It is a dark day for free speech in America.

It’s sickening when a radical thuggish institution like Berkeley can so easily snuff out the cherished American right to free speech.

The university is saying it’s not true:
University officials could not immediately be contacted for comment Wednesday afternoon. But before Coulter tweeted, the university put out a news release that said, “Contrary to some press reports and circulating narratives, the UC Berkeley administration did not cancel the Coulter event and has never prohibited Ms. Coulter from coming on campus.”
Whoever is to “blame” it should never have gotten to this point in the first place.
