THE LEFT'S POLITICAL LAUNDERING OF DOLLY PARTON'S LEGACY | HUMAN EVENTS DAILY W JACK POSOBIEC

Dolly Parton’s PassingCountry music legend Dolly Parton died at 80 after a brief battle with cancer in Nashville. Tributes continue for the Appalachian icon whose songs, humor, and generosity crossed every political line for decades.Protecting Her True LegacyJack Posobiec is joined by Peachy Keenan and Thomas Corbett-Dillon to push back against efforts to rewrite Dolly as a partisan figure. She spent her career refusing endorsements, declining presidential medals from both parties, and insisting she was an entertainer—not an activist—with fans on every side.The Left’s Spin on DollyAs the nation mourns, voices on the left are already claiming her. The Communist Party USA posted a tribute calling her a “working class woman” who spoke out against racism, sexism, and homophobia, highlighting her philanthropy and solidarity while framing her as one of their own. The panel examines this selective rewriting and what it reveals about cultural ownership after a unifying figure’s death.Darline Graham UpdateIn South Carolina, Sen. Darline Graham—sister of the late Lindsey Graham and Trump-backed interim appointee—has won the GOP runoff for the full Senate term, defeating Rep. Ralph Norman.
