In a recent op-ed from Forbes, the magazine’s chief officer Randall Lane came out supporting the idea that companies should avoid hiring any Trump administration employees such as Kayleigh McEnany, Kellyanne Conway, or Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie,” Lane wrote in the op-ed.
However, Independent Women’s Forum analyst Kelsey Bolar is coming out in direct opposition to Lane’s statement saying that this dangerous cancel culture will only serve to further divide our country.
If @JoeBiden really wants to unite the country, he will condemn the out-of-control #cancelculture and Great Purge. https://t.co/Ts7dUAEhXz

Fox News reports:
“This dangerous cancel culture, which wants to ban any American who had the audacity to support President Trump or work in his administration from being able to do something as basic as have a new job,” she said.
Bolar argued that the media, Big Tech and corporate America are all in on canceling anyone who was associated with the Trump administration. Bolar said it was a “very dangerous and concerning trend and it will not unite the country.”
“It is going to divide us and, of course, there is a huge double standard to talk about here where this is coming from the same media that peddled the idea that the 2016 election was hijacked from the Russians,” she said.
Bolar went on to say, “Nancy Pelosi tweeted that the 2016 election was hijacked and faced no sort of repercussions. The media partook in peddling that narrative. They don’t hold themselves accountable but yet they want to turn around and tell us that anyone who worked in the Trump administration does not deserve to have a job.”
It’s clear Democrats have no intention of heeding Biden’s ongoing calls to unite America as long as insidious claims such as Lane’s have a leg to stand on.
