Bongino’s Show Starts with Bold Face Message
Cancel Culture Lunatics: No One is Safe, Not Even Kids
Cancel-culture lunatics have the souls of tyrants. When worked into a frenzy of faux moral righteousness, they spare no one, not even children.
Last weekend, for instance, multiple leftist sports outlets waxed indignant over a 9-year-old football fan — yes, a 9-year-old — who painted his face in the red and black colors of his beloved Kansas City Chiefs, donned a Native American feathered headdress and then cheered his team to a 31-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Thursday, an exasperated Dan Bongino opened his show on Rumble by giving cancel culture the proverbial (and literal) middle finger while sporting red and black face paint of his own.
The popular conservative commentator began by delivering a message to “cancel culture portions of liberal, leftist, socialist, communist America.”
In short, he told that portion of America what to do with cancel culture and where exactly to stick it.
Bongino’s hilariously blunt tirade came three days after Carron J. Phillips of the leftist sports site Deadspin tried to shame 9-year-old Holden Armenta.
“It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate black people and the Native Americans at the same time,” Phillips wrote.
To the usual bullying and woke narcissism that characterizes all of cancel culture, this Deadspin hit piece on an elementary school student added a special flavor of mendacity. The story included a still photo of Holden that showed only the right side of his face, thus making it appear as if he wore blackface.
Journalist Jack McGuire of Barstool Sports even apologized for believing — and then amplifying — the initial lie.
To make matters worse, Holden’s mother, Shannon Armenta, announced Monday on Facebook that her son descends from California Indians and that his grandfather even occupies a leadership role with the Chumash tribe.
Remember, according to Phillips, 9-year-old Holden “found a way to hate” blacks and Indians.
On Wednesday, Holden appeared with his father Bubba on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” At one point, Bubba revealed that 10 minutes before the interview with Watters, young Holden asked if he could paint his face again. That marvelous act of defiance drew a laugh from the host.
Perhaps it also gave Bongino inspiration.
“I’m not taking the cancel culture bulls*** anymore, and I suggest you don’t either,” Bongino said.
The host dedicated his tirade to Phillips and urged football fans to paint their faces at every game this weekend.
“This is your way to tell cancel culture, ‘Stick it up your a**,’” the host said while again flashing two middle fingers.
Finally, Bongino encouraged Holden to “stand strong, brother. We’re all with you.”
WARNING: The following video contains language that some may find offensive.
On Sunday, the Chiefs will visit the Green Bay Packers. Holden’s — and Taylor Swift’s — favorite team will play its next home game Dec. 10 vs. the Buffalo Bills.
If you live in the Kansas City area and have ever considered selling red and black face paint, this might be a good time to launch your business.

What are the negative consequences of cancel culture and how can society address them
Cancel culture is a phenomenon that has gained significant attention in recent years. It refers to the act of publicly shaming and boycotting individuals or organizations for their perceived offensive or problematic actions or beliefs. While its intentions may seem noble, cancel culture has increasingly shown its dangerous side, sparing no one, not even children.
A recent incident involving a 9-year-old football fan served as a stark reminder of cancel culture’s lunacy. The young boy, a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, painted his face in the team’s colors, donned a Native American headdress, and cheered his team to victory. However, multiple leftist sports outlets took offense to this harmless display of fandom, accusing the young boy of racism and cultural appropriation.
One such outlet, Deadspin, published an article by Carron J. Phillips shaming the young fan for allegedly disrespecting both black people and Native Americans. The article included a misleading photo of the child, showing only one side of his face and giving the impression of blackface. This baseless accusation not only had a negative impact on the child and his family, but it also perpetuated a false narrative.
It is concerning to see cancel culture extend its reach to children, who should be allowed to enjoy innocent activities without fear of ridicule or backlash. In this particular case, the young boy’s mother came forward to explain that he is of Native American descent, further debunking the claims made against him. It is unjust and irresponsible for cancel culture enthusiasts to vilify children based on their actions or appearance.
The damaging effects of cancel culture have not gone unnoticed. Conservative commentator Dan Bongino, in an emotionally charged segment on his show, addressed the issue head-on. He expressed his frustration with cancel culture and urged those who endorse it to reconsider their actions. Bongino’s impassioned plea resonated with many who feel that cancel culture has gone too far.
It is crucial to distinguish between holding individuals accountable for their actions and engaging in mass public shaming. Cancel culture often fails to allow for growth, education, and redemption. Instead, it seeks to tarnish reputations, destroy livelihoods, and perpetuate a culture of fear and censorship.
While it is essential to address genuine cases of discrimination, it is equally crucial to approach these issues with reason, fairness, and openness to dialogue. Cancel culture, with its quick judgment and severe consequences, fails to promote these values.
Ultimately, cancel culture lunatics, when driven by a misguided sense of moral righteousness, pose a threat to the fabric of society. Innocent children should never be subjected to the wrath of cancel culture, and it is time to reconsider the harmful implications of this phenomenon. By engaging in open dialogue, empathy, and compassion, we can foster an environment where understanding and growth are prioritized over divisiveness and censorship.
