Former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted cancel culture and warned that its adherents who shut down those they disagree with are walking a dangerous path, as the “final expression” of cancel culture can be found in Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS and al Qaeda.
The Hawaii Democrat — who sounds more and more like a Republican every day — offered her take during a Tuesday interview with Fox News’ Trey Gowdy, saying “the foundation of our democracy” is based on “freedom of speech, freedom for every single one of us to be able to share our ideas and debate them, to argue them, to agree or to disagree.”
“Cancel culture is the opposite of this,” Gabbard continued. “It is exactly the opposite of this foundational principle of our democracy. It means that in a cancel culture, you have some people who believe that they are special, that they are superior, that they have the power to be able to shut down those who have ideas and views that are different, who may follow a path that they deem to be the wrong path.” She said that such cancel-happy folk “will therefore say, ‘No, we’re going to place obstacles in front of you, we’re going to silence certain voices'” — except for “those who agree with us and the path that we deem to be right.”
