The party of free speech

Those scamps at Oberlin are at it again:
President Trump and first lady Melania Trump demanded in separate social media posts on Monday that ABC pull comedian Jimmy Kimmel from its airwaves over a bit involving the White House correspondents’ dinner, delivered two days before it occurred.
Mr. Kimmel, who has a long history of sparring with the president, had imagined himself as the M.C. at the dinner. “Of course, our first lady, Melania, is here,” he said on Thursday night. Then, pretending to address her, he called her “so beautiful” and added: “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” He made cracks about Mr. Trump’s age and health.
This was before a gunman broke past a security perimeter in the Washington Hilton while the president and first lady were inside on Saturday.
In his social media post Monday afternoon, Mr. Trump described the comedian’s joke as “really shocking” and “something far beyond the pale.” He ended his post: “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”
You would have to be a Grade A moron to see this as any kind of incitement to violence, or indeed a joke about violence at all. Fortunately, this is always Trump’s core audience. And this may well include Paramount executives.
