This comment came up on FB yesterday, I will just leave it here as an example of what must be a widespread opinion in certain circles:

“Honestly what Alex said wasn’t nice and it wasn’t compassionate BUT with freedom of speech he should be allowed to say it without being maliciously prosecuted by the MSM/DNC/and the government. I guess this once again shows the 2 tiered justice system being perpetrated by the leftist in our country. Plenty of mean things are said in this world, many wrong or crazy things are said in this world and in our Universities BUT the left give the teachers and professors a free speech pass of tenure to get away with it. Alex Jones says something those on the left disagree with and he must pay pay pay. I sure hope we see reciprocity when Trump sues the networks for all the malicious lies they’ve told the people because if he’s rewarded on the same scale, they will owe Trump tens of billions of dollars.”

So much to unpack here…
