Multiple event venues in Virginia have canceled on the organizers of a journalism conference after pressure and threats from a local Antifa group.
The Common Sense Society and The Virginia Council were to host the inaugural "Virginia Forum" Sept. 22 featuring journalist and author Andy Ngo, who has reported extensively on uncovering connections between Antifa and the riots in Portland, Oregon, and Richmond, Virginia.
The event was first slated to take place at Richmond's Commonwealth Club, an organization founded in 1890 that describes itself as a "vibrant city club with a diverse membership … including leaders in business, politics, education and society."
