In August, Carrie Underwood was harassed on social media because she “liked” a tweet from conservative pundit Matt Walsh. Walsh’s tweet concerned a speech he gave to the Nashville School Board that discussed not wearing masks. Underwood’s like prompted outcries from the left-wing COVID mob, which excoriates any person on Twitter who does not agree with their ideas. Matt Walsh doesn’t, so when Underwood liked a tweet, she became persona non grata.
At the time, Walsh sent out a series of sarcastic tweets regarding the outrage and mockingly agreed that Underwood should denounce him. He also sarcastically questioned how long it would be before Underwood would deny liking the tweet on purpose as a result of the reaction on social media. I argued that Underwood should not give in to the mob but instead fight back.
