America’s defenders of the First Amendment have decided that a comic strip criticizing President Joe Biden’s transgender policies is more freedom of speech than Americans ought to be allowed to see.
The media conglomerate Gannett, which formerly used the slogan “A World of Different Voices Where Freedom Speaks,” recently banned the strip “Mallard Fillmore” from its publications, according to a report in The Washington Times.
Bruce Tinsley, who created the comic strip, said King Features, which syndicates his work, told him about the latest episode of America’s cancel culture at work
“It was a big shock. From what I’m hearing, it was unprecedented. My syndicate had never seen anything like it,” Tinsley said.

HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS!
Time was editors and cartoonists would’ve rallied in support of a cartoonist being censored over political satire.
Hey! If China Joe’s wife can abuse her mentally ill, doddering husband, why can’t others have a little fun with him. At least it’s not elder abuse.

I can’t believe they didn’t ban Doonesbury for trashing Pres. Trump for four years....oh wait, they don’t ban leftist hate cartoons do they?
Censorship is making a comeback for this administration.
Has anyone here seen the cartoons in question? I know from past experience that Mallard Filmore is a conservative-leaning comic strip.
Isn’t this what happened to the cartoonists in France who drew pictures of Muhammad? No, they got to print theirs anyway....
Disregard what I said in my previous message. And thank you, SaveFerris.
Timing is all that it is - :)
Better copy it before they scrub it from the internet for good

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond," Biden said in a statement.

The guy got confused which was his wife and which was his
sister.
That leads me in a direction I don’t even care to ponder, but it is
troublesome none the less.
Be sure not to criticize him folks. Everything he does is just
as normal as can be.
