Jon Stewart on Butker, Conservative "Outrage" & The Real Cancel Culture | The Daily Show

Jon Stewart dives into Harrison Butker’s controversial speech, the subsequent Fox News outrage that he's being canceled, and how the real purveyor of cancel culture is Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, who censor and silence any Republican who dare criticize their boy King. #DailyShow #CancelCulture #HarrisonButker #JonStewart

Dems point to Republicans as hypocritical. Republicans point to Dems as hypocritical. Folks on both sides are hypocritical. But what’s true, is in today’s society, you aren’t targeted by institutions for falling in line with recent, progressive trends. It was the complete opposite as recent as 20 years ago. Again, many liberals and conservatives alike are hypocritical. The only difference is whose hypocrisy is more popular and accepted at a given time in our society.

Butker's mother, Elizabeth Butker, is a medical physicist at Emory University in Atlanta. She has been at the university since 1988 and works in Emory's Winship Department of Radiation Oncology. Keller spent as much as 35 years as a medical physicist at the prestigious Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta. She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1985 and later earned a master's. While blazing a career in physics, Keller raised two children, including Harrison and his older sister Charlotte, who played soccer at Emory. All that completely contradicts Butker's view that women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers like their male counterparts.

[@wolfofthewest8019]

Butker never said women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers. Implicit in his question "How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about *all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?"* is the assumption these women will have careers. There is simply no way to square that with your claim that Butker was saying women should not careers. The pathetic and hateful attempts to use this man's mother to bash him are self-defeating. The mere fact that she is Butker's *mother* completely destroys this argument. Butker literally said *"Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,* but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world." That could be a statement made directly to his mother. She had a successful career, but I would bet money that if you asked her which was more important to her, family or career, she would say family.

I think there was a better way that the original comment could have been phrased if they weren't meaning to disparage Trevor Noah's work and time on The Daily Show. Trevor Noah brought a fresh and diverse perspective to the show, often providing insightful and nuanced takes on complex issues. While he may have leaned more openly towards liberal messaging, he made genuine efforts to present multiple viewpoints and foster meaningful discussions. It's important to recognize and appreciate the contributions he made to the show, rather than focusing solely on a comparison with his predecessor. Each host brings their own unique strengths and style, and Trevor Noah certainly made a significant impact during his tenure.

@NuiYabuko I don't disagree with Jon's point about monetization of outrage on both ends of the political spectrum. That was very well made. I just found the examples to be awfully unbalanced and left leaning. If he wanted to really drive the point home about "why can't we be better people online", a little bit of balance might have made his mostly liberal audience take a few moments to consider their own outrage.
