GOP Official Says ‘Censure’ Is Different From Canceling

CNN anchor John Berman accused North Carolina Republican Party chair Michael Whatley of “canceling” Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) by censuring him over his vote to convict former President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial.

Said Berman: “We hear a lot from people in the Republican Party about cancel culture. You know, you are canceling Richard Burr for his impeachment vote which he says was a vote of conscious.”

Whatley rejected the assertion, saying the “cancel culture” is “entirely different” than the party’s decision to censure Burr.

Washington Post: Cancel culture blends into victim culture.
