'Emphasis on Cult': Jon Stewart Breaks Down Why Trump is the 'Real Cancel Culture'
Jon Stewart detailed the hypocrisy of conservative media’s condemnation of cancel culture on Monday’s episode of The Daily Show, pointing out that their “boy king” Trump has cancelled numerous opponents who have dared to speak against him.
The late-night host opened his monologue with news of the backlash Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker garnered after delivering a speech to Benedictine College’s 2024 graduate class in which he encouraged women to embrace their roles as wives and homemakers rather than putting their degrees to use. Stewart zeroed in on how conservative media reacted to the criticism, playing clips of right-wing media pundits claiming the left was fueling an attack on free speech.
Stewart noted that conservative media have devoted an entire industry to “complaining about not being able to say the things they say all the time,” adding that “their victimhood is the entire brand.” After rolling footage of Sean Hannity humorously declaring that he was not the type of person to become outraged alongside clips of Hannity promoting stories that would make “your blood boil,” Stewart stated the universal truth: “In our modern social media driven society our interactions are incentivized and monetized for outrage, and it is fucking exhausting for everyone.”
“We are surrounded by and inundated with more speech than has ever existed in the history of communication, and it is all weaponized by professional outrage hunters of all stripes,” he continued. Yet contrary to “conservatives’ victimization complex,” Stewart said there is “no organized canceled culture conspiracy, where even the slightest misstep can 100 percent get someone on the right cancelled.”

It doesn't get much more "cancel culture" than that.
