Director Aaron Sorkin lashes out against cancel culture, says Twitter mobs are no different from the McCarthy era

Aaron Sorkin, famed screenwriter and director, hit out at cancel culture during a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

Sorkin made the remarks while interviewing about his forthcoming project, "Being the Ricardos," starring actors Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.

What are the details?

In an article published on Thursday, Sorkin said that he believed there are parallels between cancel culture and McCarthy-era Hollywood.

"The bad guys during the blacklist, it wasn't just Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn," Sorkin said. "Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn would have been powerless if it wasn't for this other committee whose job it was, if the network wants to hire me on a television series, it was their job to tell the network whether that was OK, whether a guy who owned a couple of supermarkets on Long Island was going to be OK with the network advertising their product during my show."
