In the first case, the DNC and intelligence agencies were directly censoring opposition media. Matt was one of very few journalists to write about it. In the current case, the Trump admin says they’re opposing Khalil’s actions, not his speech. The apparently powerless Democratic media is screaming bloody murder on every channel and podcast, comparing Trump to Mussolini and Tom Homan to a Jim Crow era redneck sheriff. No coverup this time, no lapdog media, no complaints about the 1st Amendment. Matt has written that Trump’s actions have a whiff of bullshit. He’s been both principled and mostly consistent on freedom of speech. Comparing the two cases is a false equivalency. Israel is sort of a side issue, though I’d agree pro-Hamas views should be protected under freedom of speech.
