A group of college Republicans in Maine is struggling to find a venue for conservative speaker Michelle Malkin after three sites all canceled.

Malkin is an author, blogger and former FOX News contributor who has rallied against foes she calls “Beltway crapweasels,” “foreign menaces” and “vaccine bullies” in her writing.

She agreed to speak on Friday at the Martindale Country Club in Auburn at the invitation of a University of Maine Republican group. The country club canceled.

Republican congressional candidate Adrienne Bennett later said a new venue has been secured.
