  • On March 1, 2022, a video clip was widely shared on social media that appeared to show a guest on a Fox News television show saying, Russia is now being canceled. It was viewed around 100,000 times in two TikTok videos and hundreds of thousands of times on Twitter: This was a genuine statement made by Monica Crowley on the March 1, 2022, episode of Jesse Watters Primetime, a TV show on Fox News that airs on weeknights and is hosted by Jesse Watters. Crowley was the former assistant secretary for public affairs at the Treasury Department under U.S. President Donald Trump. Her remarks came one day after Star Trek actor George Takei tweeted: Waiting for the right to complain how Russia is being canceled. While it's true that Crowley referred to the sanctions placed on Russia as the country being canceled, there was no further discussion of the apparent reference to cancel culture by either Watters or Crowley. Also, during the segment, neither of them appeared to be taking a stance against or complaining about the sanctions that had been imposed on Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine. Rather, Crowley's words urged caution in the hope that the global economy wasn't impacted by the financial effects felt by Russia. We transcribed the entire question and answer to present the complete remarks that resulted in the words, Russia is now being canceled: The entire segment can be watched on the TV News Archive on Archive.org. In 2016, The Associated Press noted that Crowley once worked under former U.S. President Richard Nixon many years after his early departure from the White House: In sum, Crowley did go on Fox News and say the words, Russia is now being canceled. For this reason, we have rated this fact check as, Correct Attribution. (en)
