When conservatives get suspended, shadow-banned, or outright de-platformed, Democrats call it “accountability.” But when Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night pulpit went dark after he spread falsehoods about the Charlie Kirk assassination? Suddenly, it’s a First Amendment emergency.
In this latest supercut, Democratic lawmakers and their media allies fall over themselves to denounce Kimmel’s suspension as censorship. The same crowd that cheered when Alex Jones was wiped off the internet or when conservative satire accounts were throttled now weeps for the plight of a millionaire comic who can’t tell jokes on ABC for a few weeks. Free speech for me, speech codes for thee.
They insist Kimmel is just a comedian — never mind that his monologues are indistinguishable from DNC talking points, or that his “jokes” often come in the form of scurrilous smears. But now, stripped of his primetime megaphone, he’s being elevated to martyr status. Democrats don’t want equal rules, they want special carve-outs for their court jesters.
And the hypocrisy isn’t subtle. When conservatives complain about censorship, Democrats roll their eyes and say, “Twitter is a private company.” When Kimmel is benched, those same voices thunder about democracy dying in darkness. Apparently, “corporate censorship” is only a problem when it happens to one of their own.
So watch the supercut. It’s a masterclass in selective outrage — the party that pioneered de-platforming suddenly crying “free speech” because their favorite clown got a timeout.
