Examples of Rightfully in a Sentence

1. Pat McCrory:

   When you follow the mob, you become part of the mob. I saw this during protests in Charlotte, where people rightfully protested for Black Lives Matter. But then they didn't stop others, people from breaking the windows. They didn't defend the police, and the exact same thing happened yesterday in Washington DC. People who had a right to protest did not protest the violence and the breaking of laws, of taking over a hallowed institutional building. It's inexcusable.

2. Cleveland Browns:

   Hue Jackson has never ever accepted any responsibility for our record during that time period, he’s been masterful at pointing fingers but has never accepted any blame. I have accepted a ton of blame, and rightfully so. There are a lot of things I could’ve done better. Hue has never accepted blame for one thing.

3. Michael Bryant:

   It’s rightfully so that we focus on the horrors perpetrated against the Jews, the Poles and the Soviets by the Nazis during the war, but we frequently lose sight of the first victims of the Nazis' systematic murders.

4. Molly Davis:

   If a student senator in the DEI department tweeted that they wanted to ‘kill every BLM supporter,' the LA Times and Daily Trojan would milk that headline for weeks, and USC’s campus would be swarmed with protesters — rightfully so. However, it’s a different story every time when the Jewish people — or anyone supporting the Jewish people — are attacked, i’d say it’s not really something that anyone should be saying, but especially not someone of that position.

5. Scott Galloway:

   We are rightfully concerned.
