On Sunday morning, a host of pro-transgender tweeters attacked Monty Python master John Cleese for his defense of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has received death threats for her moderate stance on transgender issues. Any dissent from the woke orthodoxy on transgenderism must not be tolerated. Cleese didn’t just savage the insanity of this witch hunt, he had tremendous fun with it.
It seems the latest round of controversy came when Cleese tweeted about Claus von Stauffenberg, a German who tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler because Hitler was leading Germany to disaster. Even though von Stauffenberg was right, he was considered a traitor. “People don’t like admitting they’ve been wrong,” Cleese tweeted.
To this, a pro-transgender account tweeted, “Do tell…?” with a screenshot of Cleese’s tweet about standing in solidarity with J.K. Rowling. “What would you like me to tell, Mr. Joughin?” the comic actor responded.
Many transgender activists engaged with Cleese’s response. Charlotte Volpe, a self-described social media guru, tweeted that Cleese needs to confess he was wrong for “standing in solidarity with transphobia and discrimination.”
“Yes, and torturing small animals and setting fire to babies,” the comic actor mockingly responded. “Are you psychic?”

P
I hear so many stories of parents abusing their kids with this transgender and non gender stuff. Because it’s trendy?
No, because they are perverted. Porno has its costs.
He may be savaging it now, but he, and people like him, are directly responsible for voting in the morons who allow this crap to permeate society.
The hollywood celebs would walk around with small dogs, then white celebs adopt black kids next it is transgender.
I wonder what will be next?
“Where you going to keep the fetus, Reg? In a box?”
But, Cleese has stood in solidarity with people who do worse than burn babies.
Never give into crazy people. They have more crazy then you can imagine.
John Cleese: If you can’t control your own emotions, you’re forced to control other people’s behavior.
That’s why the touchiest, most oversensitive and easily upset must not set the standard for the rest of us.
How is he responsible?
I don’t doubt you.
I just don’t know much about him except from movies which he is very funny in.
Never a big fan but good for him!
Of course, he’ll probably just be tagged as an old dinosaur from the Stone Age of the ‘50s who is so old-fashioned and not filled with endless wisdom and humanity like the Gen Zs.
Why would he do that? I thought he hated Trump so much that he embraced all things “woke?”
White female atheist homosexual celebs adopting black kids and pushing them into transexuality (latter is the proper term...don’t fall for the PC crowd newspeak).
That may be, but sometimes this is the mugging liberals need.
You know the axiom....
Cleese is a very funny guy. But he is very far on the Left and he has disdain for Christianity. Now he sees the transgender stuff from the Left and he wants to dissociate himself from those people on the Left. I suspect he has no idea that everyone of the Left is on the Left because they share the same basic, muddled thinking about personal responsibility. He’s thinks he’s not like the transgender people, but I would say that fundamentally he is very much like them.
...But being a ‘Python allows him a lot of room to maneuvet however he likes in whatever situation he’s in. Offend him and he’ll pick up whatever cudgel is at hand to hit back.
He’s White. He’s male. What could be more offensive to the
Leftists?
Cudgel, banana, maybe even a pointed stick. You never know what he'll come at you with.
