Of course, while Trumpers complain about cancel culture, they have no problem engaging in cancel culture to stop any opposition to Dear Leader. Any politician who votes against Donald Trump will quickly be censured, assaulted in public by members of the Trump cult, and made a target for defeat at the next primary. No one is ever allowed to stray from the Trump cult.
You will never hear me speak against "cancel culture." Personally, I 100% support canceling the political careers of members of Congress such as Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Devin Nunes, Ron Johnson, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. They
sold out the conservative causes I've fought for all my life to go all in on blind, unfailing support for Donald Trump. When Trump lost at the polls, those Republican legislators spit on American democracy and supported his staying in office through a sedition effort. When that failed, they gave aid and comfort to the Trump-supporting insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on January 6th to try to stop the counting of electoral votes. Those members of Congress are traitors to this country and their careers in public service need to be canceled.

While Schlapp was originally coy about which speaker he had canceled, it turns out it was the "Young Pharaoh, " who was identified as a "Philosopher, Scholar, Musician" on the CPAC website. Here's what a five minute research of the "Young Pharaoh" 2020 twitter feed would have revealed:
This week's CPAC is featuring a
speaker named Young Pharaoh. In the past year, he's claimed that: 1) Judaism is
a “complete lie”; 2) Jewish people are "thieving"; 3) and “all the
censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews.”
February 22nd 2021
And, of course, he is into Frazzledrip too:
CPAC's speaker list also includes Wayne Dupree, who called the Sandy Hook shooting "a hoax," and the parents of the dead children "actors."
Then you have several CPAC speakers who don't believe in religious freedom, well at least not for Muslims.
This year's CPAC conference will no doubt be a magnet for Qanon followers and white supremacists. Qanon enthusiast Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is a speaker and and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Qanon supporter, will be in attendance at the conference and speaking to one of the CPAC sponsors in a nearby meeting room. No doubt members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers will be in attendance to hear their hero, Donald Trump, speak.
Let the craziness begin.

OOP's short takes:
- Biden's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) nominee Neera Tanden has over the years used her Twitter account to assault some Republicans (and progressive Democrats). Now they don't want to vote for her nomination because of her mean tweets. Really? We had a President the last four days who spent much of his working day issuing mean tweets, and Republican Senators either said they didn't read them or that the tweets should be ignored because they were nothing but Trump blowing off steam. But now these Republican Senators have read Tanden's tweets and they are offended! Grow up. OMB Director is not a policy making position. President Biden should be able to have his choice to lead the OMB.
- Poor Heidi Cruz. She is mad at the negative coverage her family received after her husband, Senator Ted Cruz, was spotted on a plane heading for a weekend vacation to Cancun while fellow Texans suffered through the worst cold snap in decades. Was the problem that Ted and Heidi were doing something selfish and stupid? No. Was the problem that Sen. Cruz initially lied when asked about his trip to Cancun. (He falsely claimed he was just escorting the children, then flying right back.) No. Rather, the problem was Heidi's DEMOCRATIC neighbors who leaked her group text messages inviting them to the Cruz's weekend vacation trip to Cancun. (The Cancun Ritz Carlton has room rates of "only" $300 a night Heidi texted.) Yes, I have no problem canceling Ted Cruz and his annoying wife.
- After initially filing paperwork to run, former Georgia Senator David Perdue has decided against challenging Senator Raphael Warnock in 2022. As bad a candidate as Perdue was, the GOP Senate nomination may go to an even worse candidate. Former Senator Kelly Loeffler and former Rep. Doug Collins are considering running.

Republicans talk about cancel culture then censure anyone that thinks for themselves.
