Corky Messner, US Senate Candidate from Wolfeboro, had his speech at Dartmouth cancelled because of threats.<\/p>\n
“A policy talk sponsored by the Dartmouth College Republicans on New Hampshire\u2019s opioid crisis and the need for border security has been indefinitely postponed due to security concerns over a possible violent response by left-wing campus activists.<\/em><\/p>\n Republican U.S. Senate candidate Corky Messner was scheduled to deliver the talk, entitled \u201cBuilding a Wall Against Drugs: The Need for Border Security to End the Opioid Crisis,\u201d on Tuesday afternoon in the Rockefeller Center on Dartmouth\u2019s campus. But after angry blowback from students and threats of violence directed toward the Dartmouth College Republicans, the group decided to postpone the event over security concerns.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe security risk has outpaced our capacity to handle the potential protests. Given the reaction and the subject matter [border security], and the threats against our members, we\u2019re facing a security problem bigger than we can handle,\u201d Dartmouth College Republican\u2019s Chairman Daniel Bring told NHJournal. \u201cThere\u2019s a large contingent of radical leftists on campus who have descended on events in the past in order to shut down speech they don\u2019t agree with. They pound on doors, rush the podium and harass the speakers.”<\/em><\/p>\n
