Once again the media is in a back and forth debate on what can be said and what can’t. Are these words truly hateful and a terroristic threat towards others? What was meant to be a joke, turned into a debating nightmare.
A Southwest airline pilot simply though it would be a funny jest to make light on the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ chant and used it in his sign off before landing.
Social media keyboard warriors took to the forefront in an outrage and said it was a form of terrorism. This coming mostly from liberal Democrats who waved away their hate speech towards Donald Trump or his followers, as freedom of speech.
“If it’s hate or terrorism then it should be that across the board, not just when it benefits them in an argument,” said one social media blogger.
“Outnumbered” panelist Kennedy called out the mainstream media Monday for comparing a Southwest pilot’s use of the viral phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” to terrorism while left-wing celebrities who threatened violence against former President Trump were given a pass.
Kennedy simply stated, “So people really lost their minds with this, and there are people going, “This is literally terrorism.” And it was like, actually, it’s not. You need to look up the definition for the word literally and for terrorism because this doesn’t fall under that umbrella. And you know, you had celebrities like Madonna saying that she’s going to blow up the White House and Kathy Griffin with her bloody severed Trump head. And Robert De Niro saying he wanted to punch Trump in the mouth. So if you want a uniformity of how we treat the leader of the free world regardless of party, I’m fine with that. If you want to have a sense of humor and you want to make fun of a politician, I’m fine with that too. But you know, if you’re mad that someone’s making fun of someone you voted for, you really shouldn’t be discussing politics at all.”
Ben Shapiro from the The Daily Wire twittered, “Every major corporation in America pledged fealty to BLM last year. Any corporation that said something about the 2020 election ripped into Trump. A single pilot says Let’s go Brandon an in-joke-based on De-vulgarizing an anti-Biden chant in the entire media activate. That’s after four years of the media making resistance heroes out of celebrities like Robert De Niro, who had the nerve to say Fxxx Trump in front of his friends.”
Thank you, Mr. Kennedy!
