Cancel Culture Is Real…But You Can Support Free Speech By Hitting The Cash App $tjsotomayor !!!
Alan Dershowitz, a well-known author and US attorney claims he is facing repercussions for supporting former President Donald Trump.
Dershowitz, who defended the Republican front-runner during his first impeachment trial and made several appearances on right-wing media for the same reason, said that his books have now been banned from Martha’s Vineyard Book Fair.
During an interview on Newsmax’s The Record, Dershowitz expressed his disdain at being ostracized and shunned by the community of Martha’s Vineyard.
Host, Greta Van Susteren, concurred, acknowledging the hostility that those who defend Trump often face. “I used to represent people charged with murder,” said Van Susteren who is a former attorney.
“I never got ostracized. And I was never for murdering or anything, but you dare represent Donald Trump, you’re gonna be ostracized” said the talk show host.
Dershowitz revealed that despite being the author of numerous books and having previously been a feature at the book fair every year, his works were now forbidden from being sold at the event.

He questioned why a book fair, which is meant to promote literature and intellectual exchange, would restrict authors based on their political beliefs and free speech.
He asserted that canceling individuals for exercising their rights under the First and Sixth Amendments is not only unjust but also goes against the principles of the fair.
This is not the first time Dershowitz has faced backlash from Martha’s Vineyard. Last year, he complained about being blackballed by the small town of Chilmark. He claimed that the Chilmark Library canceled his annual speech, leading many locals to express their disappointment.
Dershowitz’s association with Trump has also caused tension with comedian Larry David, who reportedly called the attorney and his enclave “disgusting.”
While Dershowitz attributes this ban to his defense of Donald Trump, he emphasizes that he remains unfazed by the situation as, according to him, he continues to sell thousands of books.

Dershowitz concluded the interview by criticizing the Martha’s Vineyard community for allowing cancel culture to prevail and urged the people to ensure that the festival does not morph into a “book unfair.”
Dershowitz is a prominent lawyer and professor and has been recognized as one of the most influential defenders of individual rights and civil liberties.
He served as the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and authored numerous books, including the New York Times bestseller “Chutzpah,” throughout his career, per Harvard Law School.
Due to his fame, his political opinions keep making it into the news. In an interview on The Brian Kilmeade Show, Dershowitz argued that the Justice Department will have to prove that Trump knew and believed he had lost the 2020 presidential election in order to prevail in court.

Fox quotes him saying:
“But the main point of principle that I really want to get over is that, and this applies to both parties, the leading candidate against the incumbent president should never be prosecuted by the attorney general of the president, of course, unless the case against him is overwhelming and beyond any dispute.”
