Liberal Democrats who consider themselves the champions of tolerance constantly show that their actions are quite different from their talking points.
Take the case of Israel Broussard, an actor in Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie. After being “outed” for “problematic” tweets and likes -- including liking tweets from Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, President Donald Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio – the conservative celebrity has officially apologized for his "inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media."
In an article written by James R. Barrett for the Daily Wire website, the actor who played Josh Sanderson in the streaming movie is quoted as saying:
I am deeply sorry for my inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media.
I take full responsibility for my actions, and I sincerely apologize. This has been a pivotal life lesson for me. I am dedicated to becoming a more informed and educated version of myself.
So what heinous crime forced the actor to apologize?
According to Daily Beast contributor Amy Zimmerman, Broussard once posted an offensive attempt at a joke about Japanese food and dogs after Japan suffered a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, laughed off the idea of playing a gay role and wrote that Black Lives Matter just wants to create “division.” He also “liked” tweets from Shapiro, Trump and Rubio.

Can there be any wonder - at all - how the killing fields in Cambodia got started?
“I take full responsibility for my actions, and I sincerely apologize. This has been a pivotal life lesson for me. I am dedicated to becoming a more informed and educated version of myself.”
Anyone who has studied the Cultural Revolution and Mao’s strategies will find this sort of thing very chilling. It’s classic Communist self-criticism. This misguided young comrade must now dedicate himself to years of studying Mao-thought.
Agreed, it’s very chilling.
In 2011 we were all supposed to know that whatever you wrote on social media sticks around forever.
I still chuckled :)
In other words, “I apologize for having an unapproved opinion.”
These people will go full Cultural Revolution soon.
Shame!
The sniveling coward freak is PROUD not to think for himself.
Shapiro and Rubio aren’t even conservatives.
They want amnesty for illegal aliens and that would end the USA as we know it.
The dog joke is funny. Too bad - the kid could have had a future in comedy.
Does anyone here need any more proof that the entire entertainment industry Hates America and the American way of life???
Now hurry up and go spend your money on hollywood entertainment so they can continue their Jihad on America.
Democrats are evil.
Another spinless piece of jello apologizing to the Maoists.
i laughed out loud at that joke. but then i gulped my laughter down and got a concerned look on my face....
Israel, you are not a star, you are not a decent person and you have no virtue.
The actor is a fool. If someone is “offended” by something he says he likes or that he reacts positively to, THAT is a problem of the persons who say they are offended, not his.
