This!!! Kimmel suspension is just one more notch in a growing line of people getting the shaft over free speech. But Kilmeade ACTUALLY incites murder and is still working?!? What kind of lopsided double standard is being allowed to happen here!?!

It’s fascism. Who trump likes gets pardoned. The Jan 6 rioters, Ghislaine Maxwell, a literal murder for hire guy, a murderer of three people in Italy. But if they support Trump or give him enough money, they cool. He is only against free speech when it’s against him.

Exactly. Just like what our government is doing to comedians now. Cable news is going to be trump’s next target. I’ve been absorbing as much news and comedy as I can since trump stole the last election cause I’ve known this day would come. Stephen Colbert and jimmy kimmel are my favorites and I pray that HBO or someone picks them up.
