Cancel culture, or the environment where an individual can essentially be cut off from their communities based on their expression of a particular political viewpoint, is the only thing that needs to be canceled.
Representative Jim Jordan yesterday asked Jerrold Nadler, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, for a hearing so that the issue can be addressed.
"College campuses have canceled lectures because students disagree with the speaker. An editor for America's newspaper of record was forced to resign for publishing an opinion piece by a Republican Senator with which the newsroom disagreed. Amazon has refused to sell books reflecting certain political views, and Twitter and Facebook have censored and deplatformed prominent conservatives including the sitting President of the United States," he wrote. "...We must fight this trend before it is too late."
He elaborated on the danger: "That's the scariest thing happening in the country. If you can't have a First Amendment real debate, if you can't speak out, how are you going to win. How are you going to win the tax debate? How are you going to win the border security debate? How are you going to win in any public policy issue? If only one side is allowed to talk? So that's why we have to fight this more than anything else."
