Spare us the outrage.
The left’s hypocrisy over Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was on full display on Thursday, as an old clip of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes went viral for previous comments on Tucker Carlson.
“ABC made the announcement that Kimmel would indeed be taken off the air indefinitely,” Hayes says in the first clip. “And this is just the latest chapter in Donald Trump’s ongoing campaign to crack down on free speech, dominate the media, and essentially render the First Amendment meaningless.”
That’s Kimmel’s reaction now — but what did he say then about Carlson?
“He believed he could say anything, no matter how vile, no matter how disgusting, no matter how defensive, no matter how dehumanizing and belittling. And if you act like a sociopath over, and over, and over, and over, you will become unpopular on the national stage. And over time, it probably won’t work out that well in the long run. Eventually, people will be rightly offended — disgusted by it!” Hayes said.
