Hollywood Face-Slaps Conservatives

April 5th, 2022 10:09 AM

Goodness! What a night. During the live broadcast of the Academy Awards, actor Will Smith walked up to the stage and face-slapped comedian Chris Rock. When Smith returned to his seat, he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade -- muted by the show’s producer -- at Rock. What did Rock do to warrant the attack? He told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. “Jada, I love ya,” Rock said. “‘G.I…

Hard-left comics stretch, and strain, to make events fit their warped world view. Suffice to say Trump Derangement Syndrome didn’t end when The Apprentice star left the Oval Office. Late night comedians still feast on anything tied to Donald Trump, real or imagined (That helps them ignore the Biden administration’s calamitous year in office).

The Slap Heard Around the World

This week, Will Smith -- perhaps the most bankable star of his generation -- won an Oscar for Best Actor for “King Richard.” But that wasn’t why he made headlines. He made headlines because during the Academy Awards ceremony, comedian Chris Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chris Rock, popular left-wing Hollywood celebrity, has become the latest addition to the list of  those condemning cancel culture.

Beloved comedian Chris Rock is now leaning into the race narrative that the left is using to divide America, reminding New York Times readers that, sure, African Americans are making progress, but in the same way that a housewife in an abusive marriage is making progress by not being beat by her husband anymore.

On Sunday's MediaBuzz show on Fox News Channel, host Howard Kurtz gave a commentary in which he highlighted recent media double standards on the issue of whites wearing blackface, including the firing of Megyn Kelly from NBC's Today show simply for mildly defending the practice, when several prominent liberals affiliated with NBC and in other places have openly done routines in blackface in the…

Most of the time, Jimmy Kimmel -- host of his eponymous show on ABC -- and…

Sometimes crossed signals can result in communication that go horribly and, in the case of comedian Chris Rock, hilariously wrong. What made the misunderstanding so funny is that it happened at the final White House party hosted by President Barack Obama. And the person with whom the signals were so horribly/hilariously misunderstood was First Lady Michelle Obama.
