Show Notes

After an assassin killed Charlie Kirk for his ostensibly hateful views, millions grieved. Others mocked Kirk. But now some of the mockers are losing their jobs as payback for their vindictiveness, raising a question: Are we seeing a kind of right-wing “cancel culture” at odds with the American principle of free speech? We explore this question with the help of Nadine Strossen, longtime President of the ACLU, on this episode of Independent Conversations.
