BREAKING: Dyker Golf Course will not host GOP event with Sebastian Gorka
Less than a week after news broke that the Brooklyn Republican Party had asked Sebastian Gorka to be the keynote speaker at its annual gala, the venue advertised by the GOP as being the site of the event has told this paper that the event will not be held there, with the party itself subsequently breaking the news to this paper that it would not be holding the event at all at this point in time.
“On April 26 a posting was placed on social media advertising an event scheduled to take place at Dyker Beach Golf Club on May 16,” American Golf Corporation General Counsel Rand Huguely said. “That posting, which was not made by anyone affiliated with the golf club, was in error. The event described in the posting is not taking place at Dyker Beach, or at any other courses managed by American Golf Corporation in the New York area.”
As for the Brooklyn GOP, “Out of an abundance of caution, focused on fairness to a venue that has been unfairly targeted by those who wish to deny others their First Amendment rights, the Brooklyn GOP event scheduled for mid May at the Dyker Beach Golf Course will not be held,” said Brooklyn GOP Spokesperson Michael Tobman.
