Julian Assange has been released from prison and returned to his native Australia, a fact anyone who cares about press freedom should cheer. And while left-leaning commentators like Cenk Uygur and Krystal Ball are joining in the applause at Assange’s release, back when the U.S. government was pursuing criminal charges against the Wikileaks founder, Uygur and Ball felt no compunction about smearing and laughing at Julian Assange and his predicament.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why no one who smeared Assange this way should ever be allowed to forget it.
