Portnoy has been very good on this topic and more people should get it through their heads and harp on the fact that this isn’t a free speech issue. The point isn’t that Kimmel was making an off-color joke about a sensitive matter (not the most noble thing but everyone does it and it’s protected) but that he was actively misleading his audience about the political affiliation of Kirk’s killer. I doubt Jimmy is radicalizing anyone, but given the leftwing monopoly on narrative control and political violence, you can see how this is reckless and irresponsible. “Principled centrist” free speech absolutists rely on this confusion to do their “both sides” thing, that somehow magically works in favor of the left every single time. This is similar to how people were making the Mahmoud Khalil case into a free speech issue, when him being a national security threat should precede and obviate any such arguments. So again don’t fall for it!
