UC Berkeley cancels Ann Coulter speech; she says she will do it anyway

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says she will proceed with an anti-immigration lecture next week at the University of California, Berkeley, although school officials have told organizers to cancel the event over safety concerns.

The April 27 lecture had raised the prospect of a repeat of violent protests that broke out on the Berkeley campus in February, when left-wing demonstrators successfully prevented Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-wing writer, from giving a speech.

"What are they going to do? Arrest me?" Coulter said in a Fox News interview late on Wednesday. "I'm definitely giving the speech."

Coulter, one of the country's best-known conservative pundits, plans to speak about her 2015 book, "¡Adios, America!: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole."

hyper-acidic bile that she can then use to melt handcuffs. It's the same bile she spews when she speaks.
