The GOP and right-wing media are certainly vocal of late about things being canceled. The theme of CPAC last week, ‘America Uncanceled,” was even built around this idea that “they” (usually undefined but meaning Democrats) are canceling everything. “Look what they want to cancel!” Or “How dare they!” Suffice it to say “they” is having a bad month.
The irony is, it’s the Republicans who are the ones usually leading the charge on “canceling” things and, along those lines, Hillary Clinton had the perfect response today.
The party of “Freedom Fries” would like you to know that “cancel culture” is a very serious problem. — Hillary Clinton
For the record, here is a fraction of the things Republicans have tried to cancel:
- Any member of Congress who voted to impeach Donald Trump
- Any election official who wouldn’t sway the election in Donald Trump’s favor
- CNN
- PBS
- The New York Times
- The Washington Post
- The NFL
- The NBA
- Goodyear Tires
- Macy’s
- Harley Davidson
- Oreos
- Mail-in voting
This isn’t just old news either, there was evidence of the Republicans cancel crusade just this week.
