Speaking at a Turning Point USA conference, Donald Trump Jr. railed against supposed "cancel culture" and urged young conservatives to abandon the peaceful rules of the Christian Bible, saying following them has "gotten us nothing."

Trump Jr. stressed only by "banding together" could conservatives hope to "take on these institutions."


Trump Jr.'s assessment once again cast the mostly White, male, heterosexual, cisgender conservatives in his audience as the ultimate victims of liberals who've been playing "hardball."

He said:

"They cannot cancel us all."
"This will be contrary to a lot of our beliefs because I'd love not to have to participate in cancel culture."
"I'd love that it didn't exist."
"But as long as it does, folks, we better be playing the same game."
"We've turned the other cheek and I understand sort of the biblical reference, I understand the mentality but it's gotten us nothing."
"OK? It's gotten us nothing while we've ceded ground in every major institution."

Trump Jr.'s statements were widely condemned on social media for displaying further evidence of the far-right's distancing from the tenets of Christianity, a sharp about-face for a party that continues to pride itself for supporting "family values."

Many also interpreted his statements as another example of a prominent conservative calling for insurrection, essentially a repeat of what took place on January 6.


Trump Jr. wasn't the only conservative to make unflattering headlines for statements made during the event.

The Turning Point USA conference was also notable for featuring former Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin, who insisted she would get a COVID-19 vaccine "over my dead body," telling the crowd of conservatives she doesn't need to be inoculated because she previously had the virus.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work
