i agree with you that people often do conflate those two. however, that is not at all what my post was about nor what Matt Walsh talked about. He said that you should ALWAYS oppose anyone getting fired over a controversial tweet (when it happened to team red). Now that it happened to team blue, he is for it.

The difference is they are endorsing actual murder. At the time he probably did not think such thing would ever happen.

Yeah... about that whole "government can't punish you for what you say" thing you were talking about... Attorney General Pam Bondi: "There's free speech and then there's hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society...We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."
