Alt-Right 'March On Google' In Kirkland Postponed
A right-wing group was planning to march on Kirkland's Google campus Saturday, but the march has been postponed due to "threats."

KIRKLAND, WA - An alt-right affiliated group planning to march on Google offices around the U.S. on Saturday, including the campus in Kirkland, has canceled its plans. The "March On Google" was organized to protest the firing of a Google employee, James Danmore, who wrote a controversial memo about why men are better at tech jobs than women.
In canceling the Google rallies, the organizers blamed CNN and other media outlets and said that left-wing "terrorist groups" have threatened participants.
"Despite our clear and straightfoward statements denouncing bigotry and hatred, CNN and other mainstream media made malicious and false statements that our peaceful march was being organized by Nazi sympathizers," the organizers wrote in a blog post Wednesday.

The march was organized by Jack Posobiec, a prominent alt-right provocateur and Donald Trump supporter who promoted the "Pizzagate" conspiracy - that a Washington, DC, pizza parlor was a front for a child sex abuse ring.
It's not clear how the big the rallies would've been. A Facebook invite for the Kirkland event indicated just six people were planning to go.
