close Video Threat of cancel culture to freedom in America 'The Madness of Crowds' author Douglas Murray provides insight on ‘Fox and Friends.’ We’ve heard a lot about "cancel culture" of late. From debates about what it is and if it really exists to a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) dedicated to it, politicos of all stripes have weighed in. Just last week, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called for congressional hearings about its threat. The definition of cancel culture is tough to nail down but, fundamentally, it’s about punishing someone for something they’ve said or done in the past that is deemed unacceptable. This judgement is often a result of changing cultural norms and mores by a subgroup of people who are often unaccountable to the broader public. The punishments vary but usually involve a loss of money or status – ensuring someone is fired or de-platformed , blackballing a company or product, invalidating awards or honors. TUCKER CARLSON: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOOMSDAY CULT AND THE GROWTH OF THE POLICE STATE Much of the recent coverage around cancel culture has been focused on high-profile cases of people in the public eye – the firing of Disney star Gina Carano for social media posts, President Trump’s social media ban, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., having his book dropped by its original publisher. But our concerns should be less about whether a celebrity gets booted from a show or a senator has to change book publishers – since there’s only so much capacity for outrage and discussions around the chilling of free speech – and focus our attention on the many real crises happening below our collective radar.

Cuomo’s inner circle: What to know about embattled NY governor’s senior administration
close Video Fox News Flash top headlines for March 6 Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has come in the spotlight for allegations of chronic sexual misconduct and accusations that some of his top aides deliberately pressured the state health department to undercount Covid-19 nursing home deaths. One of Cuomo’s accusers, former staffer Lindsey Boylan, has said the governor’s top aides "normalized" his inappropriate behavior. Here’s a look into the embattled governor’s senior administration: Kathy Hochul, Lieutenant Governor NEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 18: Lieutenant Governor of New York Kathy Hochul partecipates in the 2020 Women's March on January 18, 2020 in New York City. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images) A Cuomo departure would usher in New York’s first female governor-- Kathy Hochul. And it wouldn’t be the first time she scored a political seat after men behaved badly, she won a special election in 2011 to fill the seat of Rep. Chris Lee, R-N.Y. The married congressman resigned after allegedly soliciting a woman on Craigslist. She lost her race in 2012 after redistricting, and joined Cuomo for his second bid in 2014. She’s been largely quiet on the allegations against her boss, saying only: "Everyone deserves to have their voice heard and taken seriously. I support an independent review," last Saturday after the second allegation came out. FAMILIES OF FEMALE AIDES DEFENDING CUOMO RAKE IN MILLIONS LOBBYING HIM But she’s been a staunch #MeToo advocate in recent years, peddling Cuomo’s landmark "enough is enough" legislation that worked to end sexual assaults on college campuses far and wide across the state. "There is still a culture that is pervasive and that is why women in a workplace – whether they're in technology in Silicon Valley or in Hollywood or in the corridors of our legislatures and Congress ...

President Trump Donald Trump Biden to sign executive order aimed at increasing voting access Albany Times Union editorial board calls for Cuomo's resignation Advocates warn restrictive voting bills could end Georgia's record turnout MORE on Saturday called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), and for more than an hour sought to persuade him that there is evidence of election fraud in the Peach State. The Hill has independently confirmed the below transcript of the call, based on audio released by The Washington Post .

Just so we all are aware. On the line is secretary of state and two other individuals. Jordan and Mr. Germany with him. You also have the attorneys that represent the president, Kurt and Alex and Cleta Mitchell — who is not the attorney of record but has been involved — myself and then the president. So Mr. President, I’ll turn it over to you. Trump: Okay, thank you very much. Hello Brad and Ryan and everybody. We appreciate the time and the call. So we’ve spent a lot of time on this, and if we could just go over some of the numbers, I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia. You even see it by rally size, frankly. We’d be getting 25-30,000 people a rally, and the competition would get less than 100 people. And it never made sense. But we have a number of things.
