Liberals should “actively acknowledge” their position in cancel tradition, NCS’s Abby Phillip stated on NCS’s “Table for Five” Saturday throughout a dialog about Jimmy Kimmel and feedback the late night time host made following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The suggestion was made after cohost Kmele Foster insisted the left has been “censorious” — a phrase Phillip agreed with.

“I think that’s something more liberals should say. I think it would help. They should acknowledge, not just in passing, but actively acknowledge where things went wrong. That’s the only way to move forward, I think, in a way,” she stated.
This prompted skepticism from NCS’s Ashley Allison, who requested what needs to be acknowledged in the primary place.
“Well, I think you have to acknowledge that there is a, listen, cancel culture was a thing. It was actually a thing, and it’s not just enough to say, well, my cancel culture was fine, but yours is wrong,” Phillip stated. “There has to be an acknowledgement that, yeah, now I think everybody understands what free speech really looks like and what it means, and then you have to apply that thinking to what was happening four, five, six years ago in this country and say something about it.”
Allison then famous that there’s a “difference” between Donald Trump taking part in a task in the cancellation of Kimmel’s present and “individual citizens” having “the ability to say, I don’t like it and let their dollars, let their viewership, let their subscriptions [decide].”
