“Snow White” used to be a lovely, heart-warming film.

Who could fail to be inspired by the story of a beautiful princess rescued
from the clutches of a wicked stepmother queen by seven kindly dwarfs, and
a life-saving kiss from a handsome prince?

But that was before the joyless woke censorship police got involved to
declare it “problematic.”

What part of it was a problem?

Try all of it!

First, she was called Snow White because her skin was very white, so
obviously, that was branded racist.

Second, the handsome prince didn’t get her consent before delivering the
magical kiss — so in the wake of the #MeToo campaign, he was condemned as
a sexual predator.

Kazue Muta, a Japanese sociology professor and supposed “expert on
workplace sexual harassment,” accused Snow White of promoting “quasi-
compulsive obscene sexual acts on an unconscious partner,” and added: “You
might think I’m ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are
promoting sexual violence, and I would like everyone to be aware of it.”

How thoughtful.

But in fact, all I need to be aware of is that when Prince Charming kissed
Snow White, he literally SAVED HER BLOODY LIFE, and they went on to live
happily ever after.

Now, with chilling inevitability, the miserable cancel-culture cops have
come for Snow White’s dwarfs.

Yes, apparently those lovable, hard-working, kind little guys Doc, Sleepy,
Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful and Sneezy are deeply offensive.

Not just because they’re all male, so that’s obviously disgustingly sexist
and unacceptable, but more pertinently, because the characters are
apparently demeaning to real-life dwarfs.

This claim was first made by the world’s most famous and successful dwarf
actor, Peter Dinklage, who last year accused Disney of being responsible
for “renewing damaging stereotypes” when it announced plans to remake the
1937 movie, saying, “You’re still making that f–king backward story of
seven dwarves living in the cave … what the f–k are you doing, man?”

Disney, who’ve cast a Hispanic woman, Rachel Zegler, as Snow White to
avoid the absurd bogus racism charges, bowed to pressure again, issuing a
statement in response to Dinklage that said: “To avoid reinforcing
stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different
approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members
of the dwarfism community.”

It turns out this meant abject capitulation to the whim of one man.

Leaked photos from the set last week showed that six of the seven male
cartoon dwarfs have been replaced by human “magical creatures” of “all
sizes, colors, and genders.”

Or rather, there are now six non-dwarfs, and one solitary dwarf.

As an instant firestorm of mockery blew up over the leaked images, panicky
Disney shamefully lied, and said the photos, published by the Daily Mail,
were fake.

Now it’s admitted they’re real, just not “official.”

Whatever.

The truth is that Disney’s once again surrendered to the woke mob and made
itself look weak and ridiculous in the process.

As so often with such politically correct nonsense, many of the supposed
“victims” Disney thinks it’s trying to protect from being exposed to
harmful appropriation are furious.

Not least, other dwarf actors who’ve now missed out on plum jobs in a big
Hollywood movie.

Professional wrestler Dylan Postl, better known by his ring persona
Hornswoggle, accused Dinklage of being “hypocritical” and “selfish.”

He raged: “By being progressive in his mind, he is really doing the
opposite and taking dreams away and potential roles from seven dwarf
actors — I think it’s a shame. It doesn’t make any sense to me that we are
taking one person’s voice for the whole community.”

Postl also pointed out that Dinklage has made millions from playing dwarf
roles in blockbusters like “Game of Thrones” and “Elf.”

“Those cheques cashed just fine,” he said. “He knew what he was getting
himself in for there.”

Of course he did.

But he doesn’t seem to want the same opportunity for other dwarf actors,
and it’s appalling that Disney has let him bully it into submission like
this.

I don’t even understand the suggestion that Snow White’s dwarf characters
are somehow humiliating.

As another dwarf entertainer, comedian Brad Williams, said: “They have
jobs, you know? They got good friends. They got a house. They like to
protect her [Snow White]. They’re diamond miners, so they’re rich. They’re
self-made, wealthy.”

Exactly, so why all the faux offense?

Zegler told Vanity Fair: “People are making these jokes about ours being
the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is, because it needed that.
It’s an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a
young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’”

Has she not met Meghan Markle?

More seriously, why on Earth would anyone be proud of making a “PC Snow
White”?

There’s nothing, I repeat NOTHING, wrong with the first movie.

It was a terrifically enjoyable fairy tale that showed good triumphing
over evil.

But woke people don’t like escapist fun — in fact, they don’t like fun at
all.

These dreary twerps prefer to scour every second of old films, just as
they do old books or songs, desperately hunting spurious new reasons to
pretend to be outraged.

The result, as one Twitter user scoffed, is “Snow White and the Seven
Diversity Hires.”

And six actor dwarfs have been deprived of lucrative, career-enhancing
work by virtue-signaling wokies trying to “help” them.

Great job, you liberal loons!

Looming indictment wrenches open the central question of 2024: Is Trump
fit to serve?

Privately, the fear is that a third indictment, even if it’s the most
serious one yet, will once again help Trump.

Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday that he expects to soon be a
thrice-indicted candidate is forcing GOP candidates to fully contend with
the fundamental question of the 2024 presidential primary.

Is the former president fit to reoccupy the office?

The early responses suggest the field remains uncomfortable going after
Trump directly over Jan. 6, but, instead, would attack him around the
edges.

In South Carolina, Ron DeSantis said Trump “should have come out more
forcefully” as rioters ransacked the Capitol, but added that it fell short
of criminal activity. Vivek Ramaswamy told POLITICO in a statement he
“would have made very different judgments than President Trump did” on
Jan. 6. And Nikki Haley said the rest of the primary is threatening to be
drowned out by Trump’s legal “drama.”
DeSantis says Trump 'didn't do anything' to stop Jan. 6

The answers represented at least a small crack in the deference that some
previously courteous candidates had shown to Trump following his earlier
two indictments. But only a small one. And privately, the campaigns were
skeptical that even those modest attacks would have any impact other than
benefiting Trump himself.

“Jan. 6 just gins up the base,” said a strategist working for a Trump
rival.

Critics of the former president were left to wonder what it would take for
the field to actually turn on him over Jan. 6, if a “target letter”
informing Trump he was about to be indicted for his behavior around that
day didn’t do the trick.

“This is the kabuki dance they’re going to be doing for months — it ain’t
going to be the first time and it ain’t going to be the last time,” said
Mike Madrid, the Republican strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump
Lincoln Project. “The kabuki dance is trying to have it both ways while
they try to wait for dust to settle on his legal problems.”

Nearly a month before the first debate, the actions of Special Counsel
Jack Smith’s grand jury has candidates hurtling toward a Rubicon they’ve
not fully found a way to navigate: To assail Trump’s character as
exhibited in the lead up to and on Jan. 6 or not.

Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, dealt with the matter head on
in his announcement speech last month in Iowa, saying Trump “demanded”
that he “choose between him and our Constitution,” and adding that “anyone
who asked someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be
president of the United States again.”

And former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson went further than his past remarks
about Trump’s first and second indictments, declining to pad his
statements with references to “presumption of innocence” and the need to
“wait on the facts.”

“While Donald Trump would like the American people to believe that he is
the victim in this situation,” Hutchinson said in a written statement,
“the truth is that the real victims of January 6th were our democracy, our
rule of law, and those Capitol Police officers who worked valiantly to
protect our Capitol.”

Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor, slammed Trump as well,
saying his “conduct on January 6th proves he doesn’t care about our
country & our Constitution,” regardless of what the latest case shows.

But aside from that trio, the rest of the field is landing in a proverbial
no-man’s land on the question of Trump’s conduct on Jan. 6. Their
reticence underscores how hard they continue to believe it is to hit Trump
without looking squishy to the base.

DeSantis experienced that firsthand. Following his gentle criticism that
Trump “should have come out more forcefully” on Jan. 6, the Florida
governor was saddled by longtime Trump adviser Jason Miller with a new
derisive moniker: “Ron DeCheney,” a reference to former Rep. Liz Cheney,
the Republican vilified by the rank-and-file after co-leading the Jan. 6
committee.

Republican operatives have internalized the idea that to question Trump’s
innocence related to Jan. 6 is to invite the wrath of his base. And though
the expected indictment’s focus on Trump’s actions surrounding Jan. 6
would appear to give them ground to stand on, it’s unclear that line of
attack is swaying primary voters.

“If you’re looking for an anti-Trump lane, it’s a fool’s errand,” said
Madrid. “You’re looking for the fountain of youth. It doesn’t exist. What
you may be trying to do is hoping that you can occupy a lane that opens up
if he is put on trial and thrown in jail before the election.”

Republican consultants working to support Trump’s primary rivals didn’t
immediately see Tuesday’s news as a defining moment in the race. The
previous indictments already boosted Trump’s fundraising and rallied GOP
voters to his side.

“It seems like each indictment has only gotten him more support,” said a
senior adviser to a rival campaign who was granted anonymity to discuss
campaign dynamics.

The adviser added that this likely forthcoming indictment is far more
serious than the first two. But absent further details from Smith himself,
it’s unclear what the political fallout would be.

“If it looks more like New York, then he will get a bump out of it,” said
another GOP consultant granted anonymity to discuss the dynamics of the
race, in reference to the indictment over alleged hush money payments to a
porn actress. “But if [the DOJ] handles it like the other indictment in a
professional way and they have a lot of backup, I think he is likely to
suffer — but not a ton of damage.”
