Jon Stewart of THE DAILY SHOW has called out conservative critics of so-called cancel culture in such a surgically precise way that it is now one for the record books.

In case you haven’t noticed, conservative news outlets from Fox News to Newsmax are exceedingly popular because they’re always delivering emergency warnings. One night, they’re warning conservatives that “they” are coming for your guns. The next night, they’re warning that “they” are out to steal your votes, or religion, or the family structure, or (fill in the blank). Gullible Americans tune in nightly to find out what’s at stake this time, then they collectively gather and prepare to fight for what’s theirs.
“This is their identity now, constant victimization,” said Stewart. “They say what they want and if you get upset about it, you don’t believe in freedom.”
Stewart then showed a video of Fox News’ Sean Hannity claiming he “just believes in freedom” and isn’t easily outraged — before showing Hannity becoming easily outraged over the cancel culture that’s allegedly canceling all that’s good and wholesome about America.
By the end of his monologue, Stewart proved that the great, big, bad boogeyman conservatives call ‘cancel culture’ is not what they think it is. Instead, he surmised that the real cancel culture comes from none other than Donald Trump.
“Truth is, Trump is the real cancel culture, emphasis on cult,” Stewart concluded. “People on the right can say pretty much whatever they want and be fine,” he explained, “but speak out against Trump and be yes, afraid.”
Yes, those in MAGA/TrumpWorld regularly complain that cancel culture has prevented them from the freedom of saying and doing the things they want. However, they ignore the big elephant in the room and the fact that Donald Trump is the true king of cancel culture.
Just ask former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, who dared to challenge Donald Trump and is now out of Congress, out of the Republican Party, and out of a job.
Check out the video below. It’s a bit long but well worth the watch.

The Daily Show tackles conservative cancel culture.
John Stewart is real good at picking something apart to show how stupid it is when you look at it. These Repubs and that whole crew at Fox News are clowns. They are always crying liberals are about to do this or that. Then pea brains that know no better eat it all up.
