The article discusses attempts by 'leftists' and 'leftist journalists' to 'cancel' New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart following his appearance on stage with US President Donald Trump at a political rally. The author argues that the progressive media's rationale for criticizing Dart—that celebrities appearing with Trump grant him legitimacy—is flawed.
