The man who shot former President Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s said in an interview this week that he is a victim of cancel culture.

John Hinckley Jr., who spent years confined to a mental hospital for trying to murder Reagan, was freed from all restrictions in 2022.

The 68-year-old has tried to become a singer since gaining his freedom, but has had numerous planned concerts canceled by venues because the businesses do not want controversy.

“I think that’s fair to say: I’m a victim of cancel culture,” he claimed in an interview with the New York Post. “It keeps happening over and over again.”

“They book me and then the show gets announced and then the venue starts getting backlash,” he claimed. “The owners always cave, they cancel. It’s happened so many times, it’s kinda what I expect. I don’t really get upset.”
