The ad is here.
Only after sustained complaint from conservatives has FaceBook relented and admitted, Whoops, look like we jumped the gun and banned another conservative message by "accident." Boy, is our face red.
Funny how these mistakes only tend in a single direction.
And note that without the social pressure applied against FaceBook, they would have remained firm in their initial decision to censor.
And note that David French, Jonah Goldberg, Ben Shapiro et al. all criticize conservatives when they apply such social pressure to reverse the censorial decisions provoked by leftwing social pressure.
All these fine defenders of Free Speech enjoy lecturing conservatives to never, ever pressure a corporate entity to stop censoring people, whereas they have precious little to say about the left's pressure campaigns.
At least, they have nothing to say about such campaigns until those campaigns threaten them, or their friends, like Bari Weiss and Kevin Williamson.
Only then do they decide that it's appropriate and right to apply counter-pressure to undo the censorious left's victories in stamping out conservative speech.
One begins to suspect that just perhaps they view many of the left's enemies as their own enemies, and are glad of the chance to tacitly support the left's censorship campaigns in their own petty squabbles and fights for positioning.
Hey, if they help the left destroy their rivals for control of the conservative movement, they'll get to own their ineffectual, progressivism-validating controlled opposition party back again. They won't actually be able to advance any conservative goals, but that was never their game in the first place: this has always just been a money-making hustle. As long as they're on top of the movement, it doesn't matter if the movement is simply a pretend-opposition. They're still on top of it and makin' bank.

What a miserable, mealy-mouthed, useless f*** he turned out to be. Him and his mom.
You can tell his fortunes have diminished tremendously. He looks like a beatnik, probably smells, and constantly stammers and babbles on Fox News never-Trump panels they perpetually convene. He looks like he's on something.
Not enough facts here to know what the author is talking about and judge whether he’s right or not.
They are just Deep State whores looking to cash in on the global selling of America down the river.
Conservatives Reject Unilateral Disarmament In The Face Of Liberal Social Fascism

We are not better than that, and this is who we are. We’re fighting back, no matter how much and how shrilly the Fredocons complain. We’re Normal Americans and we’re done being the guests of honor at the liberals’ witch burnings.
