Ben Stiller Hits Back At Woke Mob, Says He Makes ‘No Apologies’ For ‘Tropic Thunder’
The Daily Wire ^ | February 23, 2023 | Katie Jerkovich

Ben Stiller hit back at the woke cancel culture mob and said he makes “no apologies” for his 2008 comedy “Tropic Thunder” and disputed a tweet alleging he had previously apologized for the film.

The 57-year-old actor, comedian and filmmaker tweeted on Tuesday to his 5.6 million followers that he did not apologize for the movie amid calls to have the film canceled and removed from streaming platforms, the New York Post reported.

The person on Twitter wrote, “[BenStiller] Please stop apologizing for doing this movie. It was and still is funny AF… Even funnier now with cancel culture the way it is. It’s a MOVIE. Ya’ll can just get over it. I was DYING laughing when I first saw it back in the day and so was everyone else.” His post included a screenshot of another post that talked about how “liberals are trying to ‘cancel culture’ the movie. When the Wayans Brothers made ‘White Chicks’…. nobody said a dang thing!!!! STOP APOLOGIZING FOR THIS STUFF!!!!”

“I make no apologies for Tropic Thunder,” Stiller replied. “Don’t know who told you that. It’s always been a controversial movie since when we opened. Proud of it and the work everyone did on it.”

The woketards would probably riot and burn a few cities over Blazing Saddles.

I thought the movie was very funny and Robert Downey, Jr., was great in it.

The neat thing about owning a DVD of a film is that it can't be canceled by a pack of whiners.

Tropic Thunder 4K just came out - I’ve got the blu-ray but thinking of getting it just to spite the woke.
