Trump And Republicans Are The Undisputed Kings Of "Cancel Culture"


But what about Lou Dobbs, Ed Henry, Melissa Francis, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Blake Neff, and Chris Stirewalt?
Or 
Roger Ailes, Gretchen Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Shine, and Eric Bolling?


Donald Trump, July 3, 2020:
One of their political weapons is "cancel culture" — driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
It's likely no one in the United States has called for more boycotts and demanded more people be fired than Donald Trump. Here is an incomplete list of companies, products, and people he has said should be "cancelled":
Amazon
Google
Facebook
Twitter
