| ‘Try to Cancel Me': NBC Sports Star Quits Job to Champion Free Speech |
| 2023-04-11 |
| [Epoch Times] She was the crown jewel of NBC Sports television. A winner of Emmys and trailblazer for women in broadcasting, Michele Tafoya reached millions of viewers in living rooms across America—all from the sidelines on "Monday Night Football." After nearly 30 years on the air, Tafoya left it all to start podcasting on Salem and speaking her mind. She saw her country being torn apart from within and felt compelled to save it. One year into her social media foray, Tafoya has exactly zero regrets. "I wanted to respond to some people who were saying things that I thought were divisive," Tafoya told The Epoch Times. "I wanted to say, ’Wait a minute now, you’re saying the American dream is gone? I’m living proof that it’s here.’" From around 2017 she heard the sound of America’s social fabric tearing at the seams. She saw her friends becoming ever more fearful of speaking their minds on social media, and found it "insane" how speech had been chilled for fear of being canceled. Tafoya’s podcast would champion free speech and demonstrate to all "how to not be afraid of these forces who want to shut you up." While many trembled to breathe the word "vaccine" during COVID, she remained stoic. "Come on," she said. "Try to cancel me. I don’t care!" Sidelined no longer, Tafoya would now have her say while introducing her listeners to those whom "they might not otherwise hear from." Who might those be? Everyone from Dr. Peter McCullough, speaking facts about COVID jabs, to ex-Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem, decrying America’s southern border crisis response—of which Tafoya has much to say, her father himself being a Hispanic immigrant. "There should be rules and process at the border," she told the newspaper. "A great deal of my family came across the southern border, and they came across legally." Reading her other opinions reported at the link, I think she'd fit right in at Rantburg. |
