Trump and the Republican Party find themselves on another aspect of cultural wars canceled
At their conference five years ago, President Donald Trump and his Republican party mobilized their supporters strongly against an idea that they described as rotting on society: Cancellation.
They have argued many people, one by one in the sermons at the time of peak, which are publicly rejected-in some cases losing their functions-to practice their constitutional right to freedom of expression.
“With regard to what has no voice, they are ashamed, observers and cancellation, my father will fight for you,” Eric Trump pledged at the time.
But the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was Among the speakers In that agreement in 2020, Trump and other Republicans seem to see the limits of freedom of expression and the rules of engagement to the culture of canceling inflammation one day.
Previously, a voice of the abolition, now they are the ones who abolish.
The discussion – which was feeding on anger and sadness from the White House where many escalated, including Vice President JD Vance, with Kirk – on Wednesday with “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The Disney company, ABC, threatened the dialogue program late at night, hours after Brendan Car, head of the Federal Communications Committee, threatened to “take action” against the company because of Kimmil’s criticism of how the Republicans’ reaction to Kirk’s death.
Maga gang [is] “A desperate attempt described this child who killed Charlie Kerk as anything else other than one of them and made everything in his power to score political points from him,” Kimmel said during Monoluj on Monday.
The court documents said that Tyler Robinson, who is accused of shooting Kirk, was a deadly Kirk, but according to his mother, “began to tend more to the left” politically during the past year. “He had enough hatred.”
The pre -seizing unlimited to Kimmel, who raised concerns about the country’s oversight, came within a week when Trump and other administration officials pledged to target left -wing organizations and people who believe political violence. Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi raised the possibility of strict action against “hate speech”. Vans encouraged people to call and pressure to shoot those “celebration”. Kirk’s death.
Trump, from Celebrate Kimmel’s news On social media, it was asked about its repercussions on freedom of expression on Thursday during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer.
“Jimmy Kimmel was expelled because he had more bad classifications than anything else, and he said it was a terrible thing about a great noble man known as Charlie Kerk,” Trump replied. “Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad classifications, and they should have been launched a long time ago. So you can call freedom of expression or not. He was expelled because there was no talent.”
Trump, who was talking to the correspondents later on Air Force One, suggested that TV broadcasters who see it as unobstructed might lose their FCC licenses.
Vans was one of the heroes of freedom of expression in administration, and recently, one of her voices loudly calling for Kirk to death.
“The first amendment protects a lot of very ugly speech, but if you celebrate the death of Charlie Kerk, you should not be protected from shooting because you are a disgusting person,” Vans said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday night on Fox News.
In February, Vans called for the re -employment of a federal employee resigned from social media posts that support racism and improvement – “stupid social media activity”, and then Vans argued, then, he should not “destroy the life of the child.” Vans also accused the European allies of undermining the spirit of freedom of expression, specifically Germany’s targeting of AFD, a political echoes.
“It is one thing to say that a specific group of opinions is the total … or somehow outside the Overton window, outside the limits of reasonable discourse,” Vans said in an interview in May. “I think it is very dangerous to use the neutral institutions of the state – the army and the police … Intel services – to try to deny another competitor’s political party.”
He added that while he was “a very large believer in freedom of expression … I think where to draw the line encourages violence against political opponents.”
Vance has not yet commented on the cancellation of Kimmil, otherwise To join social media Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, who is already multiplied as a national security advisor in Trump, will be the “new host of ABC’s presentation late at night.”
During the administration of President Joe Biden, the conservatives complained that officials used tactics – similar to those of the Trump administration to adopt – to straighten the conservative discourse, with the threat of harmful consequences if the requests were not honored, a practice known as the “jaw”.
One of the main allegations that are martyred are often pressure in Biden, which Biden officials have set on social media companies to remove content, especially with regard to vaccine morale.
This narration suffered from the setback last year when the Supreme Court failed, in the ruling of 6-3 written by conservative judge Amy Kony Barrett, that the various mass states and individual social media users failed to claim adequately that the requests of government officials directly affect the decisions of social media companies.

Former President Barack Obama, who is slightly commenting on hot issues per day, accused the Republicans of not consistency.

Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson followed, R. La. Questions about the Kimmel case when he spoke to correspondents on Thursday.
Johnson said: “I don’t know anything about it,” Johnson said. “What I know is that ABC is a private company, and they can make their own options about those who want to wear their brand, so to speak. So this is the issue of ABC leadership. It has nothing to do with Congress or anything we do.”
Others from within the Trump administration refused the suggestions of hypocrisy by insisting that what they participate in Eliminate culture.
