Comedian Bill Burr rails against cancel culture: 'I also have the right to say whatever I want'
Fox News
The comedian appeared on The Pat McAfee show and said he doesn't lose sleep worrying about being "canceled" online.
"This is a time to be irreverent, and it's also a time to be empathetic," Burr reasoned. "And you have to know how to do both. These people that are on the extreme right and left, I think, only represent about 15% of the population. And any time you're hardcore or extreme, you inevitably become intolerant. I just feel like 85% of the country on the right and the left is kind of sitting there, when are dad and mom going to stop screaming at each other."
"The thing is, I don't do anything in my act that's malicious," he added. "I'm not going out there to hurt anybody. But like, I also have the right to say whatever I want to say and say it the way I want to say it."
