| Where you sit doesn’t matter any more than where I sit on this subject. Where it stands now there apparently was grounds for cancellation no matter what any of us think.
One thing of note here. In the recent days two voices were cancelled, Kirk’s and Kimmel’s. They were cancelled in very different ways, one much, much worse than the other. Sadly, the left is up in arms over the silencing of Kimmel and are celebrating the silencing of Kirk. The right is the opposite. Both sides have taken opposite stances. One can argue that no celebrating should be happening and no blaming on the person himself for being silenced should be happening but even if it is distasteful behaviour from both sides there is a magnitude of difference in what is being celebrated/blamed.
FWIW I don’t actually care what Kimmel said. I don’t actually care if, as you claim, the right claimed the shooter was right wing. What matters to me is the marked difference in the way it was presented. One side was effectively claiming, wrongly as it turns out, that their own party was responsible.
The other side was blaming their political opponents, both the shooter himself and every other Trump supporter, in a very distasteful way. Especially considering the circumstances. There is a very significant difference even if you refuse to ever admit it.
That is very telling of what the left stands for. Recently someone on here even claimed that the right is a party of gun loving people responsible for almost all of the political violence. Like Kimmel, I doubt that person will have the constitution and morals to apologize for that statement. Maybe I will be proven wrong about that, but I doubt it.
