Pro-Trump actress Kristy Swanson: If 'MY PRESIDENT' is deleted from 'Home Alone 2,' then cut me out of 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Ferris Bueller'
On the heels of the recent left-wing outcry to scrub President Donald Trump from his scene with Macaulay Culkin in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" — apparently since doing so would soothe triggered psyches across the fruited plain — conservative actress Kristy Swanson is calling the left's bluff:

"If Cancel Culture is really going to have Donald J. Trump removed from the John Hughes movie 'Home Alone,' then in support of MY PRESIDENT, I'd like to have myself officially removed from the John Hughes' films, 'Pretty In Pink' and 'Ferris Buhler's [sic] Day Off,'" Swanson tweeted Friday.
Hughes — the iconic creative force behind numerous teen-oriented flicks of the 1980s — directed "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and wrote "Pretty in Pink." He produced "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York."
In the latter movie, Trump makes a cameo and offers directions to Culkin's famous young character Kevin McCallister in the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned in the early 1990s. Culkin has applauded calls for Trump getting deleted from the scene.
Left-wing Hollywood hits back
For sticking her neck out amid the current firestorm of left-wing rage at Trump supporters since the Jan. 6 rioting at the U.S. Capitol, emboldened Hollywood elites snapped back at Swanson on Twitter:

Anything else?
Swanson hasn't been afraid to show her support for Trump supporter or her conservative politics. In 2019 she took issue with a teacher at her son's school who allegedly wouldn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
The same year she starred with fellow conservative Dean Cain in a stage show featuring readings of anti-Trump text messages between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. It will come as no surprise that there were death threats:

It would be a shame if Swanson's brief but hilarious scene from "Ferris Bueller" — during which she dialogues with another political conservative, Ben Stein — was cut. Here it is:

Does Kristi Noem’s canine confession COLLAPSE her shot at veep?
South Dakota governor and vice president hopeful Kristi Noem has made a politically fatal mistake from which there may be no return.
In her upcoming memoir, “No Going Back,” Noem confessed to killing a puppy and a goat in her past while living on a farm. Her dog Cricket was 14 months old and was apparently “untrainable” and “less than worthless” — which led to Noem putting him down.
It’s safe to say Americans are not happy with Noem’s disregard for the puppy’s life, and Stu Burguiere believes it’s likely the end of the road for her politically.
While Stu believes Noem was the “do no harm, solid type of person who’s not going to make lots of noise, not going to ruin your candidacy, not going to blow anything up, not going to be in the headlines,” he also believes that all changed after the story of Cricket was leaked.
“I don’t understand how it’s a good idea in any way to put that story out there when no one else apparently knew about it,” Stu says.
“People like their dogs, okay? And very, very few people can imagine a dog being a little bit out of control, maybe even a lot out of control, and having the answer be, ‘I’m going to take it in the back and shoot it,’” he adds.
While Noem has defended her action as making a tough decision that she did not enjoy but rather is a trial that comes with farm life — her defense will likely not resonate with all Americans.
“I understand that society probably doesn’t operate for very long without our farmers, and they do a great job, and they have a totally different way of looking at this, but I mean, that’s not the point here,” Stu says.
“The point is not necessarily what farm life is like, the point is as a politician, especially someone who is supposedly going to get on the ticket as a ‘do no harm’ type of candidate, you have to recognize that not everyone understands farm life,” he adds.
