What these actors, politicians, Hollywood producers etc don't get is that they can say something, be attacked for it, apologize and believe all will be well. Once they apologize the mad dog left will only become more vicious and attack until they bring the person down.

That is what sets President Trump aside from all the rest. He does not let the accusers put him on the defensive. He does not apologize.

Now this actor will only be left with his embarrassment in letting them bully him into apologizing. Neither side will support him.

For example, if I tweeted something about doing something awful to Trump because I don't like his administration and got in trouble for it.....someone could twist it and claim that I was forced to apologize for criticizing the Trump administration.

Conveniently leaving off the commentary that actually got me in trouble.

In the OP link it does list some of the Tweets and the one about Japan was worthy of an apology as it was rather prejudiced. It read:

This was after the earthquake devastated Japan....That is pretty insensitive to me and worthy of an apology.



It is especially weird due to the stereotype is actually of Koreans eating dogs, not Japanese so it is also kind of idiotic in a way and shows that he thinks all Asians are the same in some way.



He also claimed Sandy Hook was "staged" and said he would not "go gay" to play a character - the last one is odd considering the name of his show. I've never seen it but I'd think there was some "gay" in it from the name lol.
You can see and read a lot of the tweets HERE.

Yeah I remember how Black Lives Matter would protest the candidates during the 2016 election .
Clinton and Sanders gave into BLM but Trump called them out on their tactics . BLM of course were just trying to be troublemakers.

Interestingly this actor did criticize BLM too but BLM despite their racism and insane agenda of wanting to defund police departments is a sacred cow on the left . Anything critical of BLM and one is labeled a “racist”

After being outed for "problematic" tweets and likes — including liking tweets from Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, and Senator Marco Rubio — actor Israel Broussard of Netflix's "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" has officially apologized for his "inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media."

"I am deeply sorry for my inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media," Broussard, who plays Josh Sanderson in the series, tweeted Tuesday after backlash over his past social media activity. "I take full responsibility for my actions and I sincerely apologize. This has been a pivotal life lesson for me. I am dedicated to becoming a more informed and educated version of myself."

And so, in a routine we've seen before, Broussard has been compelled to apologize — even thanking his critics for having helped him learn this "pivotal life lesson" — and rededicate himself to becoming "a more informed and educated version" of himself.

If you do not tow the Democrat Party line 100% you are ostracized, and blackballed in the Entertainment Industry. It is similar to the Communist witch hunts of the 1950's. Now the Communists have taken over, and anyone with American Values is now Blackballed.

Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are very popular. I was on a plane recently and this Muslim American kid was carrying Peterson's book. Upon seeing it this young man, turned out he's French Canadian struck up a conversation with him. They both bemoaned liberal, SJW movement. the Muslim kid said some girl at his school called him a Nazi for not agreeing with the SJW dogma at their school. They talked about Shapiro and other right wing types they watch on Youtube.

My buddy, who is black, just the other day said,"I was watching Ben Shapiro on Youtube..." I nearly spit out my drink. This is a guy that voted for Jill Stein. I asked him what are you dong listening to Ben Shapiro. He's like I don't agree with everything but he makes a lot of sense.

Liberals are turning off many young men. They may not necessarily vote Republican or even vote but they're rejecting this SJW dogma.

I'm glad he has come to his senses. I forgive him.

I don’t define people, but if you support horrible people, then that reflects on yourself.

Ben is a guy who laughs at civilian deaths by the US government, thinks the lives of children are worthless in countries we bomb, and believes SA, Israel, and the US have a moral right to kill anyone they want. He is a propagandist of the worst form.

It seems this is what kind of tweets he is apologizing for -- but have your triggered moment -- own it -- you need to vent -- especially if you voted for Trump.

Broussard, in a tweet from 2011, allegedly wrote, “Dogs can sense earthquakes. Too bad Japan ate them all,” the Daily Beast reported. The tweet came just days after a massive earthquake caused a tsunami in the country that left at least 15,000 dead.
