Michael Rapaport railed against cancel culture on a new episode of his podcast after his comedy show was canceled due to threats over his pro-Israel views.
Comedian Michael Rapaport railed against cancel culture after he learned his comedy show was scrapped because of his staunch support for Israel. In an episode of his podcast that dropped on Friday, Rapaport said he was when his agent told him his shows in Madison, Wisconsin, had been abruptly canceled due to the venue being threatened over his views. 'I was extremely p----- off,' Rapaport said.
Rapaport said he felt it was important not to empower the people that wanted to silence him, and so he told his agent that the show must go on. 'This is just not okay. This is not a road that I felt comfortable going down, bowing down to these people,' he said. However, the venue canceled his Thursday show this week anyway.
'm embarrassed about it. I’m not embarrassed because it happened to me. I’m embarrassed that it’s happening to Jewish people. I’m embarrassed because it happened to me because I'm speaking out on behalf of Jewish people … the hostages … on what I know is right,' he said. 'Just like I spoke out on what I know is right on abortion, LGBTQ and Black Lives Matter,' Rapaport added. I've talked and supported everybody, yet the reality is, right now, we’re by ourselves.
