Awwww. I'm so disappointed.
GRAND RAPIDS -- Ann Coulter, the firebrand conservative commentator, is backing out of her Grand Rapids appearance, Kent County Republican officials said Monday morning.
Coulter, who was secured in late January as the keynote speaker for the Kent County Republican Party's March 16 Lincoln Day Dinner, had to pull out because she was double booked with another event at Florida State University, said Brian Pierce, the party's executive director, who handled the Kent County GOP's booking.
More than 1,000 tickets were sold for the event, and those ticket holders will be given the chance to obtain a refund if they want, said Karl Hascall, Kent County party co-chair.
Coulter's appearance had come under fire from political opponents, but Hascall said he was doubtful that had anything to do with her cancellation.
"If people want to think that, that's fine, but I don't think she's afraid of any heat," he said.
Coulter has two booking agencies, one for college appearances and the other for other events, Pierce said.
"She double booked," Pierce said. "We asked her to cancel her commitment at Florida State and she said no."
Wonder if FSU is paying her more...
