Aaaand The Newseum Has Apologized For That HORRIFICALLY OFFENSIVE T-Shirt

As I mentioned earlier, a bunch of “free speech” loving liberals were FLIPPING THEIR LID over this heiiiinously offensive t-shirt:

. @Newseum, you know better. No amount of revenue justifies this lapse in judgement and an about-face on your mission. https://t.co/LUNx5SEzuJ

OH MAH GAWD.

Free Speech is allowing speech you don’t like or agree with, Emily.

This t-shirt doesn’t belong anywhere. It particularly doesn’t belong at the @Newseum, a place that celebrates journalism and has the First Amendment etched in stone outside its building. https://t.co/7ecmjcGOyq pic.twitter.com/AhEgRVA7wE

*sigh*

Anyway… as is expected of any organization that doesn’t want to get burned down by an angry mob of “tolerant” liberals… they have apologized.

It appears the @Newseum has removed the “You Are Very Fake News” shirts from its online store.

If you click on the link to the shirt on the Newsum’s website, it now takes you to a page that says, “We are sorry, but the page you are looking for cannot be found.” pic.twitter.com/XCkQxVHmj0

*eye roll*

Of course.

In a statement, @Newseum spox says the “fake news” shirts have been removed: “We made a mistake and we apologize.” https://t.co/9QBxHxIcRJ

The @Newseum‘s online store is still selling MAGA hats though, FWIW.

OMG MAGA HATS ARE EVEN MORE EVIL, THOUGH.

You know, since they represent “genocide” or whatever the kids are saying these days.

So we’re going with:
We’ve decided to rescind the freedom of expression through t-shirt artwork to protect the hurt feelings of the press. Yup, just as the 1st Amendment was intended.

But Conservatives are all “fascists” …right?

Free speech museum succumbs to speech police. https://t.co/2Hc4Rw5zka

Congrats on your crusade to get a private company to stop selling a shirt because you didn’t like it. https://t.co/K2GwETsnKq
