Former Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R-Del.) has been re-invited to speak at a Tea Party event in Iowa.

“In Troublemaker I talk about 'rising above it', and have humbly re-accepted the re-invitation to speak in Iowa on Saturday,” O’Donnell tweeted Tuesday evening.

Earlier in the day, O’Donnell had been dropped from the list of speakers at the Tea Party of America event Saturday. The group reportedly received letters of disapproval from a number of supporters after announcing O’Donnell’s inclusion.

"We panicked," Ken Crow, president and co-founder of Tea Party of America, told Delaware Online.

 “Was honored to be asked to speak at Iowa event Saturday, changed my flight to make it work,” O’Donnell tweeted Tuesday afternoon “We were told ! things changed on their end, and I truly wish them the best with this important event.”

O’Donnell, who has been on a book tour for her memoir Troublemaker, will now speak briefly at the event. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is also scheduled to speak later in the program.
