Has Alan Dershowitz been canceled? Oh, say it ain’t so!
Current Events :
Legal and liberal icon Alan Dershowitz was once the darling of the rich and famous Democratic set. Yes, the Yale graduate and Harvard Law professor is known for representing such celebrity clients as Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Leona Helmsley, Julian Assange, and Jim Bakker. He was even a member of the O. J. Simpson legal “Dream Team” alongside Johnnie Cochran and F. Lee Bailey.
So, when Alan Dershowitz raced to defend Donald Trump in the impeachment trial that could have removed him from the Oval Office prior to the January 6th coup attempt, Democrats were left scratching their heads wondering why their very own liberal stalwart abruptly jumped ship to defend a xenophobic MAGA bigot such as Trump.
Although Dershowitz has since claimed that his choice to defend Trump was really a decision to defend the constitution (since he believes Democrats were somehow overstepping America’s democratic bible), liberals aren’t buying it and have ceased allowing him to play “reindeer games.”
Or, in other words, Alan Dershowitz has been canceled — and he doesn’t like it.
“I have essentially been excluded from the Democratic Party,” Dershowitz recently told Newsmax. “There was recently an event on Martha’s Vineyard for Jewish Democrats. Who would be the first person you would think of as a Jewish Democrat on Martha’s Vineyard? ME! But, I wasn’t invited because I’m now canceled essentially from the Democratic Party.
“The library won’t allow me to speak on Martha’s Vineyard. The Community Center, the major synagogue, all of them have canceled me because I had the chutzpah to defend the constitution on behalf of a president of the United States that they all voted against,” Dershowitz whined. “The fact that I voted against him, too, and then I remain — in my mind a Liberal Democrat doesn’t much matter,” he complained. “If I don’t follow the party line down to the extreme, I am canceled. People refuse to attend events if they know I’m gonna be there and that’s why several friends of mine who have invited me for years to events in their home or concerts that they’ve sponsored have apologetically said, ‘We’re sorry we can’t invite you because if you come everybody will leave,’ he added.”
Oh, boo hoo!
Despite the extremely blatant plea for acceptance from Alan Dershowitz, his once-friendly rich and liberal crowd is totally and completely done with him and his Trump antics. And, just to drive the point home, they’ve even taken to Twitter to mock him with confirmation that yes, he is indeed canceled!
“You know what this is? It’s the world’s smallest violin,” wrote TV writer/producer Ken Tremendous. “And it’s playing the Benny Hill theme song as you’re running around Jeffrey Epstein’s island in your underwear.”
“Sorry to hear you remain banished from political events on Martha’s Vineyard, but it remains my understanding they have the unfettered discretionary authority to choose who to invite. And they don’t want you. So go down to Florida and party with your MAGA buds,” suggested prominent attorney Bradley Moss.
“Find something you love like Alan Dershowitz loves talking about being shunned on Martha’s Vineyard,” said noted Boston journalist Adam Reilly.
Oh, the fun at his expense didn’t stop there as ordinary Americans also joined the relentless verbal beatdown.
Poor baby. Give him a tissue. https://t.co/3iOsVpvK7X

No Dersh. It’s because you’re still an insufferable pr*ck and Trump hack. Get a clue. No one likes you on Martha’s Vineyard and that’s not about to change. https://t.co/om3utWhavx

Calling it “cancel culture” when rich people don’t want to invite you to their fancy parties on Martha’s Vineyard really underscores how utterly empty that phrase is. https://t.co/gmjBg6Pdda

After all is lost…reputation…self respect..self awareness.. what’s of greatest concern? Getting snubbed on Martha’s Vineyard. Can’t get an invite to save his soul. Well guess what, Dersh? That ship has sailed. 0/10 @AlanDersh pic.twitter.com/QSnQt1LoiO

Can someone please tell Alan Dershowitz that Martha’s Vineyard isn’t a kindergarten class and we can’t make everyone invite him to their party?

Poor Alan Dershowitz. He really believed he could defend Trump and then be welcomed back into the open arms of the Martha’s Vineyard elite.
How naive.
OK WASSUP! covers Current Events:
Alan Dershowitz gets shunned by his liberal friends.
This story is hilarious in an evil petty sort of way.
