This report is written by a liberal who does not support the First Amendment and calls Mr. Wilders by his first name. It appears that the journalist is unfamiliar with recent history of Muslim terrorists and Geert de Wilders. His support of free speech makes him popular with people who understand the importance of not being intimidated by Islamic terrorists as the sponsors of this dinner were.
[From article]
As New Times reported on Thursday, Geert [de Wilders], a Dutch politician and known Islamic critic, was a key participant in the contest. Geert [de Wilders] has been outspoken against the Qur'an, liking it to Mein Kampf and trying to have it banned in the Netherlands. His stance and beliefs have made him popular with the far-right, particularly in the United States. It's also made him a target of Islamic extremists.

“At the time the reservation for the dinner was made, no one in management or in the catering department at Boca West knew the identity of the keynote speaker,” he said per the Palm Beach Post. “Due to potential safety concerns associated with Mr. [de] Wilders’ appearance, we have elected to cancel the reservation for this private event.”
The Palm Beach Republican Party has yet to make a statement or announce if the event will be rescheduled at another venue.
