The ouster of Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexi McCammond due to tweets she posted as a teenager prove no one is immune from cancel culture, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah told “America Reports” Friday.
FARAH: This proves to us that the woke mob of cancel culture will come for anyone. No one is immune from it. So by all accounts, Alexi McCammond is both a qualified and experienced journalist, but also left of center and an African-American woman who made a name for herself [by] kind of weighing in on some of the social justice issues of the last year or two.

But one quick thing I would note is this, is, you know, in our society, we don’t punish teens as adults, I would hope we don’t in the workplace either. Things that people said as children [who are] not fully developed and formulated as adults should not be taking people down their careers.
