“I appreciate the gentleman's leadership on this and he's a very dear friend from Texas. And I am grateful. Listen, I don't know that there are many issues that are much more significant, if any more significant, than what we are watching unfold in our society these days, with the cancel culture movement. And the gentleman brought up so many great examples. Everyone certainly, I believe, probably everyone on this side of the aisle has experienced this cancel culture in one degree or another, and it is, frankly, not a new thing. It started quite some time back. But certainly, it has built to the point of enormous momentum now to the point of literally destroying lives, destroying businesses, destroying careers, and that is what is disturbing to me. And I would just go on to say that this cancel culture--two main points that I just want to bring up, and I would love to have a bit of dialogue with the gentleman on this. But number one is: What is underneath it? What is causing it? What is the purpose? What is the motive behind cancel culture? I don't think we need to just deal with the results of it, but what is behind it. And I would suggest that it is a lust for power. And, as a result, there is an attempt to intimidate, an attempt to cancel, an attempt to threaten, and it is also that I am king of the hill and you are not.…”
