This habit of "didn't x say y or do z?", "yes", "ok, then we don't need to worry about x being done to them" is why "the left" never gets anywhere. At the same time as thinking grifters like Candace Owens and dangerous enemies like Carlson are ok because they say the right thing on certain topics.

I suspect it was also a sop to the frothing right as evidenced by Morrisey's post above from GB News celebrating their ban.
