2020 has been an incredibly strange time, but very few expected June would bring Eric Trump and Ted Cruz's vocal defenses of the children's program Paw Patrol.

Protests around the globe have erupted in response to systemic racial bias by law enforcement and police brutality.


While mainstream focus on racist police behavior is at an all-time high, several programs including the long-running reality show COPS have been removed from television.

In the midst of these cancellations, PAW Patrol, an animated children's program featuring a puppy police officer, offered their support for the protestors on Twitter.

This lead Twitter, ever prepared for the next irreverent joke, to begin calling for the cancellation of PAW Patrol, often in pretty extreme terms.



The memes calling for Chase's removal from television were innumerable.


Of course, if there's a joke you can count on Eric Trump not to get it.

He responded to the viral meme by claiming liberals everywhere wanted to bring down PAW Patrol.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz also proved equally clueless and stoked ire amongst his conservative base who probably also didn't get the joke.

Sure enough, before long many were online trying to defend PAW Patrol from the imaginary mobs demanding its cancellation.



The truth is that no action against PAW Patrol has been announced.

On Twitter, many couldn't stop laughing at the section of the internet who took their meme seriously.


Meanwhile, there are many other more important problems that need addressing.

If you, like Eric Trump and Ted Cruz, are a massive fan of PAW Patrol, don't worry! It doesn't look like Chase is going anywhere any time soon.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
