Sarah Silverman slammed the “liberal” backlash she’s received after she dared to “criticize” Joy Reid, who tweeted that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ civilian-military proposal was “fascisty.”
The 51-year-old comedian responded on her show “The Sarah Silverman Podcast” to attacks from people like the cohosts of “The View” and said “we’re so divided” that liberals like herself “can’t even criticize the people [on]” their “own side.” The comments were noted by Fox News in a piece published Friday.
Silverman had tweeted at the MSNBC host to “Please read the article before you post this stuff you’re a news outlet. The truth has to matter” after Reid’s tweet regarding a CNN article about DeSantis’ proposal for a new civilian military force in Florida that he would control. She also noted that in the piece it said that many states had done the same, including California and New York

“The truth has to matter”
That right there will get you cancelled, lady.
I think she has since walked-it-back a bit. Maybe I’m wrong, but seems like I read she had issues an almost apology.
Yep!

Eight Commandments of the Liberal Left recast from Irving Janis (Yale) groupthink behaviors:
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions.

Nice to see once again their eating their own
Hey Sarah the old time ‘liberals’ are scant few and dinosaurs. Now it’s just leftist LIEberals with communistic censorship Groupthink. Right wingers have conservative foundations and will argue against leftists but don’t squash their opinions nor censoring them. That would be from your side of the spectrum and lo/behold don’t you know it. Wake up.
Sarah Silverman complains she can’t even criticize someone on her own side, then ends up blaming it on the ‘right wing’.
Take a good look in the mirror lady.
More comedy gold eh? They are their own joke.
I could go on about the comparison between a turd sandwich and sarah silverman, but why demean the turd sandwich?
Huh...
Getting red-pilled Sarah? Come to the darkside... we have cookies.
True, but so is joyless reid.
I love it when the left eats its own.
If you throw in that fat hog navarro from cnn, you have a triumvirate of hate.
Absolutely true but she has a very nice rack LOL
That's about the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
Liberals aren't divided, they're monolithic. If they were completely in control, Sarah would be on a cattle car somewhere.
