What about the current president asking for protestors to be shot in the legs? That seems pretty threatening, especially when viewed apolitically. Where are the repercussions for that?
He also called for Israel to “get the war over with” instead of dragging it out. That seems like pretty implicit calls for increased violence. Are there repercussions for that?
There are a hell of a lot of free speech purists until it’s something they do not like. A lot of violence being called for, until it’s against people they feel do not deserve it. Standards are being applied differently depending on what side you’re on. This isn’t to say that you do or don’t support the president or the things he or his supporters say, but there are clearly 2 different applications of censorship being used. One side has 0 restriction and celebrates it, and the other side is dangerous and needs to be silenced at all costs.

If anyone is directing comments to OP - don’t bother. I just posted the video for discussion
