Pillory:
The pillory is a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation and often further physical abuse. The pillory is related to the stocks. [Wikipedia]
To be subjected is to be pilloried; often used metaphorically. Noted in ““A Huge Threat to Our Republic” – Tucker Rewrites History, Your Brain on Food, and How Will You Spend Your ‘Loyalty Money’? “, JD Sword and Jeff Dellinger, The Morning Heresy:
Tucker Carlson’s effort to rewrite the history of the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as “”mostly peaceful chaos” is getting pilloried, with even prominent Republican senators like Mitch McConnell disavowing the effort. The Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police called Carlson’s revisionism “offensive and misleading.” McConnell agreed[.]
Personally, I think Carlson has come to the end of his working career. No one in journalism will ever hire him again after this decade long fiasco.
