Project 2025 author Kevin Roberts cancels talk at University of Maryland law school because he was sick

Well.. that’s a fact that doesn’t need to be fact checked..

Kevin Roberts won’t speak in Baltimore because of an illness

Hours before it was scheduled to take place, Project 2025 author Kevin Roberts canceled his controversial speaking event at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Lawin Baltimore.

The Monday night visit, organized by the Republican Law Society, was the subject of student outcry, counter-events and even a scheduled protest outside the law school building downtown. Though some students and university officials said the event would reinforce freedom of speech, it drew criticism from those who oppose Roberts’ stances on marriage equality and abortion access.

Roberts canceled his talk due to an illness, according to a spokesperson for the law school, and it’s unclear whether it’ll be rescheduled.

The Republican figure is the president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and widely considered the mastermind of Project 2025. The 900-page plan pushes for the firing of federal employees, placing limits on the National Institutes of Health and cracking down on immigration.
