Would-be assassin-turned-folk singer John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to kill President Ronald Reagan in 1981, insisted he was a victim of “cancel culture” after his latest concert was called off.
The 68-year-old was scheduled to perform at the Hotel Huxley in Naugatuck, Connecticut, on March 30 — 43 years to the day after he attacked Reagan — but the gig was postponed indefinitely, he told The Post.
“I think that’s fair to say: I’m a victim of cancel culture,” Hinckley Jr. opined.
“It keeps happening over and over again.”
A message on the venue’s Instagram posted last week read, “You Guessed It: Postponed Until Further Notice (They’re killin us here).”

Exceedingly well coached by their gang of lawyers. Now the ghettopotamus is going to be a convict that speaks four dialects of ebonics if there is ever justice.
Maybe the Bush family can pull some strings for the fellow.
this guy is walking around free while J6 protestors are still in jail
He should tour with Mark David Chapman. They can then raise money to do a film version of Catcher in the Rye somehow featuring Jodie Foster.
Bush family friend.
Charles Manson found his own musical career ruined, too. It just ain’t fair.
Yeah, Charlie Manson and John Wayne Gacey complained about the same thing ...
I have always thought that Hinckley was treated differently in the media than would have been an assassin who badly wounded an Obama or JFK in an assassination attempt.
The media has always been dispassionate about Hinckley’s shooting, almost neutral.
Sorry to hear about that, John. By the way, Anthony Fauci is dating Jodie Foster.
In a rational world, he would have a solitary confinement cell somewhere.
If Hinckley’s cancellation was due to supporting Trump I suspect some folks would easily be ready to end his problem.
Perform? My brother in law who is a brilliant jazz artist performs. You are merely trying to capitalize on the fact you tried to kill a conservatism President.
He’s only getting gigs cause he’s a leftard freak...otherwise musicallyv he sucks.
Took a second but I got it.
40 years to practice and he still can’t sing.
He’s the victim.
If he shot a rat there is 0 chance he would be out
That’s the problem. He is not a convicted felon. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Not a conviction.
