Aww, Alan Dershowitz feels "cancelled"




Alan Dershowitz was ridiculed on Saturday after invoking "cancel culture" to complain about how he has been treated on Martha's Vineyard after defending Donald Trump in the impeachment trial that could have removed Trump from office before the brunt of the pandemic and his Jan. 6 coup attempt.

"I have essentially been excluded from the Democratic Party," Dershowitz told Newsmax. "There was recently an event on Martha's Vineyard for Jewish Democrats – who would be the first person you would think of as a Jewish Democrat on Martha's Vineyard – me, but I wasn't invited because I'm now cancelled essentially from the Democratic Party."

"The library won't allow me to speak on Martha's Vineyard, the Community Center, the major synagogue, all of them have canceled me because I had the chutzpah to defend the constitution on behalf of a president of the United States that they all voted against – the fact that I voted against him, too, and then I remain — in my mind a Liberal Democrat doesn't much matter," he complained. "If I don't follow the party line down to the extreme, I am cancelled. People refuse to attend events if they know I'm gonna be there and that's why several friends of mine have who have invited me for years to events in their home or concerts that they've sponsored have apologetically said, 'We're sorry we can't invite you because if you come everybody will leave,' he added." ............(more)

You expected to defend the biggest enemy of the United States and be accepted back into good American society? He has been blinded by the right

He's a dishonorable political operator who served and lied for tRump and the Republicans and lied about and acted against Democrats. His past shows that before his deep dive into the tRump swamp he was always a creep. He used his power to take their children away from an ex-wife, who killed herself a couple years later. Jeffrey Epstein/tRump circles, outrageously corrupt legal dealing, accusations of underage sex? Arguing in 1997 to lower the age of consent to 15 -- regardless of the age of the other party (he was about 59 then) -- because girls that age are giving it away anyway?

So reassuring to hear decent people won't associate with him. Guessing it's his Epstein connections that cost him his RW circles.

Hypocrisy is not a way of getting back to the moral high ground. Pretending you're moral, saying you're moral is not the same as acting morally. ~ Alan Dershowitz

Way past time for Dershowitz to be cancelled. Particularly from the Democratic Party.

in Germany circa 1910, and had Joseph Goebbels not offed himself in 1945, he would have no doubt defended him.
