Rich Lowry's Speeches Cancelled Over False Racial Slur Allegation
Sep 19, 2024, 08:26 PM
Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, has faced the cancellation of his speeches at Indiana State University and the Badger Institute following an online smear campaign. The campaign falsely accused Lowry of using a racial slur during an interview with Megyn Kelly. Lowry has publicly denied the accusations, stating, 'I won’t cower or apologize.' The controversy has drawn criticism from both conservative and liberal commentators, who have condemned the smear as baseless and harmful. Lowry's supporters argue that the incident exemplifies the dangers of cancel culture and the ease with which misinformation can spread online.
