McEnany said that President Donald Trump “is also appalled by cancel culture, and cancel culture specifically as it pertains to cops. We saw a few weeks ago that PAW Patrol, a cartoon show about cops, was canceled. The show Cops was canceled. Live PD was canceled. Lego halted the sales of their Lego City police station.”
She added, “It is really unfortunate, because I stand with, the president stands with, the 53% of Americans who believe police officers have the most important jobs in this country.”
A spokesperson for Nickelodeon, which airs the show, told Deadline that the show has not been canceled. The show later tweeted, “No need to worry. PAW Patrol is not canceled.”
The show was renewed by Nickelodeon earlier this year.
Last month, other networks did decide to cancel reality shows that told stories from the point of view of police. Paramount Network dropped Cops and A&E canceled Live PD, in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd. That spared a national conversation about systemic racism.
Lego did not discontinue sales of cop-themed toys, but it did stop some marketing efforts in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.
