I’m lost then - sorry who is making what point please?

As I said I don’t think Kimmel should have been cancelled. However what he did say was incorrect and misleading about the killer. To be fair Kimmel was doing what he accused Trump of, by making it about politics and misleading to achieve his aim.

Agree - this type of rubbish has been going on for too long. Don’t now need more of it

He is nowhere near a 'facist' - there seems to be a lack of understanding of this word. When conservative commentators were cancelled during Biden's presidency was he a facist? As I said before, I think Kimmel is talking rubbish but shouldnt be cancelled

This is very ironic, in case you hadnt been around for the past 10 years. I'm not agreeing with it mind you. Also, this wasn't a decision made by politicians so you cant accuse Trump of being that in this case.

He shouldnt have been cancelled as that's against free speech. What he was though was fundamentally factually incorrect in his statement, which is embarrassing. He said that the shooter was essentially a conservative, which is incorrect and an insensitive thing to say in the context of the Kirk killing. However, being an idiot shouldnt prevent free speech. As I said above, he shouldnt be cancelled but the irony is that this has happened to many conservative commentators and is now happening in the reverse.

Your comment wasn’t particularly funny. Try to be more balanced though

I’m trying to be balanced….try it sometime as I know it’s alien to you. When we call out bad policies, that’s not talking the country down, it’s calling out crap policies!

Credit where credit is due. In the interest of fairness and balance there is the odd thing they are doing right. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7016ljre03o

Enjoy the game tomorrow COYS

Thats clearly not what she is saying. She is talking about how the actions of his killers is going to push her to carry on his work. People are mocking his death online. She is restrained. I think that people are looking for an angle because of his political views. Unlike other high profile deaths I don’t think there will be social disorder despite the strength of feeling. So far we have seen vigils and prayers.

I agree and there has been lots of online vitriol towards him with people mocking his death. Her speech was not a call to arms it was about carrying on his legacy and how she was determined to do it.

we will probably disagree about whether he was stupid or racist in this instance because I think he is making a different point to the one you interpret and he has also quoted DEI as being negative if it promotes white people. So his objection is to DEI not skin colour. Out of interest, when you mention the other times he has shown bigoted views are you able to provide examples as I can’t find any? There are tens of videos where he is actually promoting positive engagement and coming together between different factions- the opposite of bigotry

Ok agreed - I’ll put you on ignore if you keep calling me a c bomb though. 😆
