      I counted fifteen people total in the article. Are you fucking joking? They were not saying general things either, straight up racist vile shit and in positions of power like police officers.

      Comparing a few people getting fired for racist statements and people getting fired for not praising Kirk are entirely different things and you should be ashamed for even bringing it up.

      You might win a shitty conservative debate with garbage like this, but all I see is an apologist of the worst kind.

      Kirk’s anti-woke mob has already gotten over 100 people fired and counting. They are just getting started. How many major television personalities were fired like Jimmy Kimmel?

      Most importantly they are still mocking his death on the regular without consequences.

      Edit: Kirk’s words about Floyd, “I am also going to offer some context and some nuance about the death of George Floyd that no one dares to say out loud. Which is that this guy was a scumbag. Now, does that mean he deserves to die? That’s two totally different things — of course not.”

      Wow, so he is allowed the nuance, but everyone who says the same thing about him gets fired. Pathetic.

        Let me get this straight: you’re cool with a guy getting murdered for exercising his right to freedom of speech, but when people are getting fired for applauding that, that’s a bridge too far? Seems a little precious if you ask me.

        You can’t just demand freedom of speech when it suits you, and disavow it when it doesn’t. That’s what fascists do.

            No, I’m pretty sure I got it right. You believe in consequences for the people you disagree with and lenience for the people you like. You’re just like any other fascist out there.
