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?”

Cleese is responsible for bring consistently pro-liberal pro-Leftist, anti-Conservative.
bkmk
Mentally ill mothers who probably have Münchausen’s by proxy support it. There is a grossly disproportionate amount of these children who are raised by single mothers. If the dad is around usually he’s weak and dominated by the mother.
I believe you.
And this is what it wrought
Hey I spelled wrought right on the first try :)
He is, by admission left of center. He was a Labour Party voter and then switched to the liberal Democrats in Parliament, and is a member of the Social Democrat Party in the UK. He’s long claimed that England isn’t English anymore, but can’t put it together that those he voted for and supported made England the way it is today. Interestingly, he supported Brexit. And he does chastise the bureaucracy that is the EU. He is probably to old and set in his ways to understand that. He does seem to understand you cannot out the overly sensitive in charge of things and that those who cannot control their emotions only have one recourse to control others. So he may get it, but not completely.
I’m kind of libertarian live and let live on this stuff. But what causes the resentment in me and many is how it gets hyped by the left into a protected class that they think should never be spoken of candidly, or if so it is hate speech.
There should be no protected class with speech and of course ALL should be protected from violence.
It feels like John Cleese has been slowly gnawing on a red pill for the last decade....
yeah what the heck??
abortion is ok, hating Christians is cool, calling us racists is A-OK.
Did he think they would get LESS extreme?
But if this transgender nonsense is what it takes to wake up even a few on the other side, I’ll take it.
And we know he’ll still vote dem, from what you and others have told me
I don’t think Cleese really has changed, but everyone around him has.
Another layer to this is a lot of these mothers are probably mentally ill abd because they were in abusive relationships with the father or the father abandoned them, they resent and reject the child. Since there’s seven times as many male-to-female transgenders, this can be seen as the son grappling with the hatred the mother has towards him because of his gender. By becoming trans, they seek acceptance that is withheld by the mother.
He’s probably more of a “Clement Attlee” kind of socialist.
A lot of people don’t realize that Attlee was every bit of an anti-Communist as Churchill when it came to the Soviet Union, although they greatly differed on domestic policy.
You could say he wrought the rot. :-)
He’s intelligent, but he was formed in the British cold-war university system. It would probably take an act of God to shake his faith in leftwad atheism.
Thanks. I got some good feedback about him, this was one of the more detailed ones.
It’s hard to say “i was wrong”
I felt something in my stomach regarding the steps bush jr. was taking, but WE WON and he was MY GUY so he had to be right.
the man who wanted us in every country militarily forever was john mccain.
romney said nothing to make me think any differently
It took Trump to remind me what a real conservative was, and even I wasn’t one until he pulled back the curtain.
Perhaps someone will pull back the curtain and show what dems ONCE were...liberal as always...but not insane.
It was a Dem congressman that said Clinton was “defining deviancy down”
they had SOME scruples once.
They are all gone.
Hey that was GOOD! :)
I take pleasure in the little things in life.
They’re all I have lol
Reggie still wants to have a baby...
Next thing you know, they’ll be attacking him for his gait.
LOL
He said in real life he’s a nervous wreck and was never cool :)
He played it great.
He’s a small guy but I knew small guys that fought like bulls.
Correct and correct.
