In Ian Donnis’ article “Does Free Speech Depend on Political Tides?”(9/25), he conveniently left out the most important fact about why Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air. The fact is Jimmy Kimmel lied. It was a known fact that the murderer was a left-wing conservative hater, not MAGA. That is the reason why he was suspended. In his apology, Kimball still never owned up to the lie. While Ian didn’t lie, he certainly didn’t tell the whole truth about the story. 

All during Biden’s presidency, conservatives were censored for the opinions, calling our opinions lies. But when facts are actually backed up as lies on the liberal side, they call it censorship. 

Also regarding the Barrington teacher; it’s one thing to have an opinion about someone of the opposite view, it’s quite another to spew hatred toward a person who was just murdered. We should always show compassion towards our fellow man, no matter what side of the political aisle. 

You know, Greg Gutfeld made a good point. He said, ‘Call me fat or stupid all you want (like Trump has done in the past) but when you call me Hitler, a Nazi, or a threat to democracy, that is totally different.’” That puts targets on conservatives’ backs. That is not OK. Politicians actually say we are at war and call people to action at war; what do you think will happen?

ICE agents are targeted for just doing the job that the president was voted in to do – to remove dangerous illegals and dangerous drugs from our country. 

We were forced to wear masks for how long for a virus, and Antifa, a known terrorist group, wore masks as they torched our cities (because they knew what they were doing was illegal). The reason ICE needs to wear masks is for their safety and the safety of their family as crazy liberals like Jasmine Crockett and AOC and others put targets on their backs. 

Please stop lying and tone down the rhetoric. You can call me fat, stupid, or ugly any day of the week, but please don’t demonize me as Hitler, racist or a threat to democracy, because that is a lie!
