I'm not surprised. People will cut and paste and just take/use the pieces of facts/opinions/history that support their political opinions, and ignore the rest and the whole context. It happens with dead people as well as with people currently alive. Some get cancelled, some don't. It's largely arbitrary. EDIT: i'm not taking sides in this specific topic, just a comment on the pattern of behavior that i see across various discussions.
