Political pundit and author Dave Rubin asked, “Where are all the adults in the room?” reacting to the so-called cancel culture sweeping the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
“This thing is out of control,” Rubin told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday.
Rubin reacted to the recent resignations of two newspaper editors among other incidents related to "cancel culture.'"
New York Times editorial page editor James Bennet resigned last week, amid anger inside the company over the publication of an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., supporting the deployment of the National Guard to help quell the unrest over Floyd’s death.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s top editor also reportedly resigned after a staff uproar over a “Buildings Matter, Too” headline that ran on an article lamenting damage to businesses amid turbulent protests over Floyd’s death.
Also, HBO Max pulled the Oscar-winning Civil War epic "Gone With the Wind" from its library and the television series “Cops” was pulled from the air amid heightened racial tensions and the growing civil unrest spurred by Floyd’s death.
On Thursday, host Steve Doocy noted that Rubin has been “talking about cancel culture for about five years” and asked: “how did we wind up here?”
“What the left has become is an amorphous mob that will take out anyone who does not bow immediately when they want you to bow,” Rubin said in response.
“I mean the idea we're going to take ‘Gone With the Wind’ off HBO, we could take everything off,” he continued.

I’m just hoping that there’s a silent majority out there fuming (like I am) waiting to exact retribution on Nov 3. Cancel the cancellers with your vote.
Michelle Obama said that our HISTORY and traditions would have to change (and this was said while she was in the White House)
Yeah because having the Senate and the presidency is doing wonders for us regarding the social movement :-)
it doesn’t matter who we elect. They are being ignored and they are afraid to do anyting and Trump doesn’t have any of their backing.
Trump is on his own. We talk like elections are what will change this and keep talking and typing while antifa and BLM and all their allies take action
For years Politcal Correctness grew and festered, too many people shrugged it off and even made jokes about not realizing it was an aggressive cancer that would result in this. Those of us who called it tyranny of thought were ridiculed, well here we are. Cartoons that have cop charectors are being pulled off the air.
“We talk like elections are what will change this and keep talking and typing while antifa and BLM and all their allies take action.”
Don’t kid yourself. President Biden with control of both houses of Congress will usher in 4 years of absolute punishment of people like us. Think confiscatory taxes, liberal Supreme Court justices, some version of Medicare for All, and forced integration of the suburbs, to name a few woke policies.
There is no push back...only caving to this scum.
The real answer would be to drone strike about two dozen billionaires who are funding every aspect of this, from the press, to social media, to activist groups, to lawfare, to corrupt politicians.
This whole thing would deflate.
Where were they when they took “religion” out of the public square
Where were they when they demonized the founding fathers
Where were they when they began destroying our history
Where were they when they went after SPORT MASCOTS
Where were they when they went after the Confederate Flag
Where were they when they went after the Boy Scouts
Where were they when they went after straight white men
This is nothing new. The left has been busy for at least 60 years trying wipe out our culture.
What we are seeing is CULTURAL GENOCIDE.
