Numerous Newspapers Cancel Popular Comic Strip Over Joe Biden Criticism
Western Journal ^ | March 4, 2021 | Jack Davis

Posted on 03/04/2021 1:35:56 PM PST by gattaca

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.

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.

The comics ran Feb. 19 and Feb. 20, and played off of Biden’s transgender policies.

“For too long, segregation sullied women’s sports … They were restricted to women! Thank goodness those dark days are over,” Tinsley had Biden saying in one strip.

In the second strip, Biden is made to say, “I hear what you, the American people, want me to do … kill fossil-fuel jobs … devalue Americans’ labor … and help more transgender athletes beat the *@!# out of biological females.”

The offending cartoon. Well, the curse word was blanked out. Pinging Jim Rob in case he thinks this is not appropriate. If so, apologies in advance, Jim.

Has anyone here seen the cartoons in question? I know from past experience that Mallard Filmore is a conservative-leaning comic strip.

Biden Picks Transgender Woman As Assistant Health Secretary

stripes.com ^ | January 19, 2021

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.
