In her White House briefing, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed that children’s activities are being policed as a result of ‘cancel culture.’
While police shows were actually removed from TV schedules following nationwide protests against police brutality, pranksters online began satirical calls to ‘defund Paw Patrol.’
The joke to cancel the children’s show, which features cartoon dogs who run a police department, created a stir among conservatives online last month.
