Hillary Clinton has reminded those who are complaining about cancel culture that at one point the Republicans tried to cancel French fires after the French opposed the Iraq war in 2003.
They had wanted to rename French fries to freedom fries in protest of the French not supporting the invasion.
"The party of "Freedom Fries" would like you to know that "cancel culture" is a very serious problem."
Recently, a lot of conservatives have opposed "cancel culture" as Dr Seuss Enterprises' took the decision to halt the publication of six books that had problematic imagery.

The AIP has been in existence since 1960 when it fronted Alabama governor George Wallace to vie for the presidency. The AIP also fronted Lester Maddox as their flagbearer in the 1970s.
In the presidential election of 2016, the same party made him their nominee in California, America's most populous state, despite him being a Republican candidate.
