Madison, Wisconsin -- that supposed bastion of tolerance and diversity -- has an antisemitism problem. And a bullying problem. And a fascism problem.
For the capital of a state with 'Forward' as its motto, Mad-Town seems determined to go back to 1938, it seems.
Michael Rapaport, comedian and vocal advocate for Israel, is also Jewish. With the nationwide 'protests' on college campuses -- including the University of Wisconsin Madison campus -- a local comedy club has caved to threats and canceled Rapaport's upcoming sold out show.
#BREAKING Madison bows to bullies. @MichaelRapaport’s sold out comedy shows in Madison, Wisconsin have been cancelled following threats from the pro-terror mob.

The mob is screaming about the right to free speech, and here they are trying to silence a comedian just because he… pic.twitter.com/ULvyPE9wDA
Wow.
Just. Wow.
Rapaport also chimed in, as only he's able to:
This should be absolutely unacceptable in 2024, but the Left are bullies -- if they don't like what you have to say, they'll do anything to shut you down. Including threats of violence.
They're the bad guys.
BREAKING: Comedy on State, a comedy club near the @UWMadison pro-Hamas camp, has canceled tonight’s sold-out @MichaelRapaport show to protect “the safety and well-being” of everyone involved.

Michael Rapaport just happens to be Jewish.

But, but..they're peaceful & not antisemitic at all..aren't they?

What do my friends from @FFRF say about this?
Headquartered in Madison, this must concern them, surely?
Ah. The Freedom From Religion Foundation. They've been awful quiet lately, haven't they?
It’s Madison, so unfortunately I’m not surprised.

Neither are we, frankly.
Free speech for me but not thee!! Hypocrites!
— nyc isles (@nycisles) May 2, 2024
Remember, for the Left, speech they don't like = violence. Violence they engage in = speech.
Want to come to Indianapolis?

I haven't agreed with your politics for years, but your honesty is intriguing and we can't let the mob win in silencing people.
Happy to help if I can. https://t.co/vqGCiXNYtF
There are other business that would welcome the revenue, especially in this economy.
Free speech.

Except for "Zionists".
By which they mean Jews.
Cc @davidakaye @UCLA https://t.co/gQRUKAHPjW
Jews and anyone else they dislike.
Selling out in Wisconsin is like 20 people lol

Okay, this made us chuckle.
Absolutely disgraceful.

Cowards are enabling the antisemitism.
They are.
And if you wonder how the Nazis took over, take a look around right now.
So you’re really cancelling Jews in 2024 @GovEvers? Are you trying to replicate Germany in the 1930s. https://t.co/UDYt73Bonw
— ERIC RUBIN אריק 🟦 (@rubin_eric) May 2, 2024
Governor Evers is too busy destroying girls' sports to care about censorship in his own backyard.
Democrat cities, canceling one of the formerly biggest Trump haters in America because he's Jewish.
— Angela Van Der Pluym (@anjewla90) May 2, 2024
Fellow Jews, stop voting Democrat.
Even Rappaport said voting for Trump was on the table.#Trump2024 https://t.co/DS9kURs7PH
Democrats hate everyone who doesn't walk in lockstep with them.
Threats are violence
— Beverly (@bebe900) May 2, 2024
Threats cause censorship
Threats are undemocratic https://t.co/ehylHLmKv1
Yep. And these same people will scream about Trump being a fascist threat to democracy.
Oh, the irony.
