Democrats need to push back on this HARD and FAST before it's too late! [View all]

This is dangerous stuff. People losing their jobs over criticizing Charlie Kirk and it must stop!

Would it be too hard to hold a press conference reiterating a the universal condemnation by Democrats of the murder of Kirk, yet explain we can't live in a society where there is free speech for one side, but not the other? You either have free speech for all or you don't.

When Trump, his kids, and many others on the right made fun of a near fatal attack on Paul Pelosi in his home, was anyone fired for it?
