Cancel culture knows no limits.
Over the weekend, 61-year-old actor John Stamos, best known for his role as Jesse Katsopolis in the long-running 1980s and ’90s sitcom “Full House,” emceed a charity event for nurses held at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, which, as one could imagine, incurred the wrath of self-righteous Trump haters on social media who demand purity tests even of reliable left-wing actors like Stamos.
Monday on the social media platform Instagram, Stamos refused to apologize.

“I accepted the invitation to emcee the Palm Beach Ray of Hope Gala – an evening dedicated to honoring and uplifting our frontline heroes,” the actor wrote. “This nonpartisan event supports The Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations, a 501(c) (3) organization that trains 350-400 nurses every year, directly addressing the critical shortage of healthcare professionals in Palm Beach County.”
Stamos then rejected the cancel culture premise, or at least its application to him.
“Supporting nurses isn’t political – it’s essential,” the actor added. “These are the people who care for us and our families when we need it most, and I believe we should show up for them with the same unwavering dedication they show up with every single day. I stand by the importance of healthcare, of service, and of investing in those who care for our communities.”
