Internet comedian JP Sears, who has routinely mocked leftist political correctness as well as the excesses of COVID-19 lockdowns, asked his 2.7 million Facebook followers on Tuesday to join him on Parler after Facebook threatened to unpublish his page for violating “Community Standards.”

“Hey family, looks like my days here on Facebook are numbered. Please join me on Parler (username @awakenwithjp) where I’ll continue to share uncensored,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “On a side note: I will not back down from Tyrrany [sic]. I will without question risk losing what I have in the name of freedom. And I know many others are doing the same. I will keep going.”
