It\u2019s sad society failed to explain reality to you. But regret is not rape.Based on what we know \u2013 and we shouldn\u2019t know anything \u2013 I can only conclude that Portnoy is handling this the exact right way \u2013 on his terms. He\u2019s right to defend himself, right to defend his company, and right to return fire against the hypocrites trying to bring him down.It\u2019s a kind of heroism to stand against this sort of attack. Most people crumble, apologize to the world \u2013 as though they wronged the world, which they didn\u2019t \u2013 and beg to be restored to the good graces of our overlords. They never are.This guy can\u2019t be cancelled because he won\u2019t quit. I pity the bastards targeting his advertisers and audience. He can\u2019t be controlled because he doesn\u2019t work for you. Like him or lump him, he deserves our respect and support in this fight. #everybodyknowstherulesThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
