Vice President JD Vance doubled down on his criticism of the left in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, saying the First Amendment does not protect those who allegedly celebrated Kirk's death from consequences. https://cnn.it/46hylSc

Didn’t the “right” celebrate the attack on Pelosi’s husband? Hasn’t the “right” said repeatedly that liberals should be killed?

In what ways? You cannor let these statements go unchecked. Start with SCOTUS cases. Eg western baptist church, f**k the draft, burning flag as where 1st amendment was at. No doubt the weasels in SCOTUS may overturn their own judgments but not yet.

That Yale Law School education didn't really do him any good. Charlie Kirk was a racist, credited with saying that some deaths are necessary to protect the Second Amendment. He was a for-profit prophet. Once his 15 minutes of fame are gone, people will go back to not knowing or caring who he is.
