So let me get this straight, when Brian Kilmeade, a Fox & Friends host, says that “We should just kill ’em,” when talking about homeless and mentally ill people and later apologizes for his callous remarks, that’s OK.
It doesn’t even warrant a comment by his employer, let alone a suspension or termination.
But when Jimmy Kimmel, dares to suggest that the MAGA gang was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it,” his ABC late-night show is suspended indefinitely, under threat by the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, because it’s “really, really sick. … It appears to be some of the sickest conduct possible.”
OK, I think I understand.
It’s simply a callous remark when you propose killing millions of the most vulnerable people in our country. And the silence is deafening.
But it’s hate speech to say anything, anything, negative about Charlie Kirk, Trump or anyone in his administration, MAGA or anyone in the gang.
And if we do, well, we’ve been warned and we will deservedly suffer the consequences.
God bless America and bless your l’il ole heart.
