Remember when JD Vance came here to Europe to lecture us about freedom of speech?

@Patriot96 J D Vance voiced public support for Lucy Connolly, a British woman who was found to be criminally responsible for inciting racial hatred and racial violence through her social media postings. Sounds like the vice president needs a lesson in the limitations of free speech.

@SunshineGirl No he doesn't. Free speech only exists for Republicans now. He knows he can say whatever he likes.

@Patriot96 The First Amendment seems to protect people like Brian Kilmeade though, doesn't it?

@wishforthenight it protects him the same as everyone. It does not protect us from consequences.
Its up to fox to reprimand him. It was his Opinion. Kimmel lied. Quite different

@Patriot96 show me where he lied. And that wasn't the official reason for his sacking either.

Kimmel's suspension came just hours after Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr threatened to act against ABC and parent company Disney over the host's remarks.
The FCC is a government agency that regulates television and radio communications. Its commissioners and chair are appointed by the US president and serve five year terms.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Carr, a Trump appointee, told the Benny Show, a conservative podcast.
"These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
Carr had earlier described Kimmel's monologue as "the sickest conduct possible" and he urged Disney to take action.
"[Broadcasters] have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest."

@JSul3 Exactly. But even Ted Cruz thinks this is a bad idea.
