Just to clarify my opinion on this a little, I wanted to point out another old saying: Never ascribe to evil that which is properly explained by incompetence. Now, having made that clear that I see very little incompetence in any of the examples pointed out by chasefm11. The uproar and 'canceling' by the crowd may very well be incompetence on the part of the 'useful idiots', but it was led and coordinated by evil people for their own purposes.
And since chasefm11 pointed out three examples, I will refer to another old military philosophy that helps convince me it is evil forces at work. When something bad happens once, it is usually just bad luck. If it happens twice, it is probably a coincidence. But if it happens three times, it is enemy action.
