"The decision to host Milo has polarized the leadership of the organization between those wishing to move forward with the event and those who wish to cancel it," a statement on the Bruin Republicans Facebook page said.

"In order for an organization to be able to function properly, it must do so with the unequivocal support of all its members. This does not mean that we all must agree 100 percent on all issues but we must have at least a clear majority. Consequently, we have decided not to move forward with the event."
