Oh, Chris Harrison Is Sorry? Cancel Culture Doesn’t Care

The writing was on the wall the moment Chris Harrison issued his first Instagram apology.

The cancel crowd absurdly smeared him for racism in February when he politely requested grace for “Bachelor” contestant Rachael Kirkconnell as woke critics came after her for attending an antebellum-themed party in college. After a fleeting moment of heroic resistance, Harrison flopped himself down prostrate in the dirt with pathetic social media apologies and commitments to antiracism.

So when news broke on Tuesday that Harrison was done with Bachelor Nation for good, it was about as predictable as a “Bachelor” promo promise that the current installment would be “the most dramatic season yet.”
