About this episode
Republicans used to say they were the party of free speech. Not anymore. Will Saletan breaks down how Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr have flipped their stance on free speech since the Charlie Kirk shooting. From defending Tucker Carlson’s Holocaust-denying guests to demanding comedians be silenced, the GOP’s hypocrisy is on full display.
