I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson. Too bad he's canceled!

Have you seen this? He spends hours talking all friendly with the worst person in the world besides Bernie Sanders.
Didn't the wokeness authorities warn him that this would result in immediate cancellation? So sad...

Is Tyson running for office? Did he seek Rogan's endorsement? The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #1

I'm just sad that he's obviously canceled by association to Joe Rogan. That's all. DanTex Jan 2020 #2

Howard Stern endorsed a female Dem candidate. She didn't tell him to fuck off, she even appeared Autumn Jan 2020 #3

That's totally different. I mean totally. Not even close. His name is Howard. Doesn't count. DanTex Jan 2020 #5

Completely different. I was just told Stern was a choir boy compared to Rogan. Autumn Jan 2020 #9

Did he say anything sexist, racist or homophobic or agree with anything sexist, racist or homophobic? If none of these things are true, how is this relevant?

And those accusations were investigated. No charges were brought forth. You may choose to ignore or disagree with the results of the investigation, but it is disingenuous to leave these facts out of your statement.

is not the same as embracing his ideology by having him endorse one's presidential campaign.

POTUS candidates need to have a higher standard than book and show peddlers.
