Sep 19, 2024, 07:37 PM

Rich Lowry, a prominent conservative commentator, has faced significant backlash and cancellations of his speeches at Indiana State University and the Badger Institute due to a smear campaign. The controversy stems from accusations that Lowry used a racial slur, which he and his supporters vehemently deny, calling it an 'utter bullshit claim.' Lowry maintains that he misspoke during a conversation with Megyn Kelly and that the allegations are baseless. Despite the online attacks, Lowry has stated he will not apologize or cower to the smear campaign. The incident has sparked discussions about the dangers of cancel culture and the impact of online mobs on public discourse.
