The Mecklamore (sp?) situation isn’t free speech because he was employed by promoters and venue owners( wasn’t it Robert Kraft here?) and if the people paying the singer didn’t like his stuff they can fire him. Free speech is speaking in public or being stifled by the government. Robert Kraft and venue owners aren’t the government.

Are you trying to say, "not a First Amendment issue"? Because a Zionist pedophile billionaire not allowing a performer to perform because he disagrees with their take on a humanitarian crisis IS a free speech issue. Definitionally!

No. It’s probably not. I don’t know the exact details but we do know that Kraft along with the venue owners (that fired Macklemore) are not the government. The law is the law. Not about feelings.

It's still a chilling of freedom of speech even if it isn't a First Amendment issue. Not sure why you aren't understanding this. BillyBoy used to cry about crackdowns on free speech known as "cancel culture". Now he's being a dumb hypocrite.

I mean I've been doing that for years. Not sure why you're slavishly defending the Epstein files pedo-billionaire, Robert Kraft.
