ABC has suspend 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' in the wake of Brendan Carr threatening ABC affiliates following the late-night host's comments about the suspected Kirk shooter's politics.
The right-wing mediasphere is in a frenzy equating anyone talking bad about Kirk with ‘supporting political violence’. They’re doxing people, calling their jobs to get them fired, etc.
This is just more of the same kind of bullying.
You can say that we need to kill homeless people on Fox News but you can’t claim that Republicans are pro-violence without being doxxed, harassed and canceled.
The people at the bottom don’t see it because their media stream is wholly owned by the elites. The elites don’t care about seeming like hypocrites as long as they can grab power and use it to enrich themselves or enact their fascist policies.
Yeah what I saw, shit I heard worse from these guys before. Now this was too far? Guess we are speed running this police state, full blown fascism. Holy fuck only been 8 months.
That’s what I thought when I saw what Dowd said that got him fired. We have lawsuits and threats against the press. We have an armed force pulling people off street. We have a court that doesn’t believe in the Constitution. And yet people seem to keep thinking the elections next year will be able to fix this.
What Dowd said
“And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions,” Dowd said. “And I think that is the environment we are in.”
He added, “You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”
Can anyone direct me to or link me to the exact monologue in question? I’m not certain which is the one the article is referencing.

I…really? That was…tame. I’m confused.

He didn’t say anything negative about Kirk… he implied that the right is trying to paint the killer as “anything but MAGA”
Their cognitive dissonance is maddening. I don’t know if they don’t see it, or if they are deliberately being obtuse assholes.
