The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show doesn’t matter. What matters is the left’s embrace of political violence.
The national conversation we need to have right now is not about free speech.
The conversation we need to have is about the normalization of political violence on the left. We need to be talking about left-wing Antifa/trans terrorists gunning down Christians in broad daylight while Democrats and the corporate press justify it and the online left celebrates it.
That’s the only conversation that matters right now. The manufactured outrage over ABC canceling Jimmy Kimmel’s show is an attempt to change the conversation, to flip the script so that instead of talking about the first major political assassination in America in sixty years, instead of talking about the mainstream left’s embrace of political violence and the institutional ecosystem that foments and funds that violence, we can talk about whether President Trump is using Kirk’s murder as a pretext to crack down on free speech and silence his enemies.
What nonsense — and what a tell. It speaks volumes that Democrats, liberal media, and online leftists are so desperate to pivot away from talking about Kirk’s assassination that they have chosen to take up the transparently stupid cause of Kimmel’s free speech rights.

Their desertion was spawned when Hilary could not ascend to the throne, er,Presidency.
Somebody clue in that despicable, Texas ice storm abandoning, tone deaf, nasty wimpy Texas republican senator Ted Cruz:
“Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sharply criticized Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr.
“He says, ‘We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way’ ... that’s right out of Goodfellas,” Cruz said of Carr.
Cruz’s comments put him at odds with President Donald Trump, who applauded Kimmel’s suspension and later called Carr “outstanding.”
But he is very, very good. Thanks for posting.
YESSSSS!!!!
Ted once in awhile shows why Trump had to carry him over the finish line in two elections. He’s just not like able by anyone

Such a jackass
Republicans are the worst offenders. At least AOC has an excuse. Shes a democrat to begin with
Cruz is a Christian Christie. Pain in the cajoolias
Kimmel is still free to say whatever he wants. He just can’t do it on ABCs network because he’s bad for business.
To some ultra leftists, there is no connection between speech and violence. At least as seen on CNN.
I ended up reading this. article.
