Here’s a pro tip: Celebrities aren’t able to vet each and every person with whom they take a selfie.
A related tip: It’s often rude to turn down a fan’s photograph request.
Seth Rogen once did just that, aghast that a Republican politician hoped to snap a pic with the “Superbad” star and his sons.
Not. Remotely. Cool.
Now, comedian Nate Bargatze is under fire for posing for photographs.
The “trouble” started when the squeaky-clean comic attended the recent UFC/White House event. In the process, the “Breadwinner” star posed with members of the Trump administration.
That included Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. The photo in question went viral, and suddenly hard-Left news outlets attempted to attack Bargatze for that simple, apolitical act.
Get him!
Think The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post and Parade magazine. That’s called Cancel Culture with a side of bigotry.
Now, the far-Left Variety is getting in on the act. And, to cancel Bargatze, it cited W. Kamau Bell, a comedian who has a very soft spot in his heart for a domestic terrorist organization – Antifa.
“Recently, some people who want us to think of them as ‘nice’ and ‘good’ have acted ‘surprised’ when the public has been surprised to see evidence of these ‘nice’ and ‘good’ people willingly associating with proud fascists,” Bell wrote before listing out tips for these people, starting with the following: “Don’t be in a photo with fascists.”
To the modern Left, everyone is a fascist, negating the word in short order.
It’s ugly. It’s inaccurate. It’s cruel. And Variety weaponized the far-Left comedian to attack Bargatze for simply showing up at a high-profile White House event and being cordial to the people he met.
Team Bargatze initially swatted away the media attacks, noting that he remains apolitical and was simply enjoying the UFC fights.
Now, that isn’t enough. And, for both Bargatze and anyone who dares to associate with “fascists,” it’s time to tell the actual fascists to shut up.
Now.
Bullies are gonna bully. That’s what they do. The modern bully has the media by its side. The Left and the media bullied C-list singers from performing at an all-American concert to honor the nation’s 250th birthday.
The bullies fired singer M.I.A. for daring to share right-leaning thoughts from a comedy stage.
The bullies have kept up a Blacklist 2.0 to stop right-leaning actors from being gainfully employed.
Bargatze is roughly a thousand times more successful and popular than Bell. It’s time for folks like him to punch back, rhetorically speaking, and tell the Bells of the world to go pound sand.
Now. Not later.
Someone has to stand up against the bullies. It’s what J.K. Rowling has done for some time now, staring down the woke mob for trying to make her believe that science isn’t real.
Rowling has all the money and power in the world, but she still could have stood down (just like Stephen King did). Instead, she stood tall, and struck a blow for free speech.
Bargatze should do the same. He can do so like a gentleman, without profanity or anger.
And it won’t just be for him. It’ll be for everyone else who dares to think for themselves and fears the professional blowback from a celebrity culture teeming with, wait for it, the real-life fascists.
