“Social justice warriors, on the other hand, caught Steve Martin calling Carrie Fisher “beautiful” in a tweet and made him take it down. I’m not making that up. Here’s Steve’s offensive tweet: “When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well.” How could he! Steve, we thought we knew you, but this? You noted her appearance first, and then that she was witty and bright? What a monster. This has become a hallmark of stupid wokeness: getting offended for people who themselves would not be offended. Democrats have gone from the party that protects people to the party that protects feelings. From “Ask not what your country can do for you” to “You owe me an apology.”
