House Majority Leader Eric Cantor canceled a speech at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday after apparently learning it was open to the public. Cantor was due to give a speech on income inequality in what was regarded as the first extensive Republican response to the Occupy Wall Street protests nationwide. But the speech was called off after Cantor’s aides reportedly worried the audience would be full of protesters. Cantor had previously likened the Occupy protests to “growing mobs.”
