Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t have much patience for SJWs or P.C. culture, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that he’s calling the Outrage Mob out for trying to take down Kevin Hart. But this is still a breath of fresh air:

More from the Hollywood Reporter:

“Kevin is in a position, because he is a brilliant comedian, to kind of decide what he wants to do,” Seinfeld said. “He doesn’t have to step down. But he can.”

He continued, “And when you look at the situation — well, who got screwed in that deal?”

…

“I think Kevin is going to be fine, but find another Kevin Hart, that’s not so easy,” Seinfeld said on the Academy’s predicament. “He’s a brilliant guy with a movie career.”

Seinfeld’s absolutely right. Hollywood SJWs may think they’ve won here, but when all is said and done, it’s Hart who will have ultimately triumphed. His being maligned by the Outrage Mob has made him more sympathetic and only increased his standing in many people’s eyes.
