      I’ve read elsewhere that he was spreading misinformation – specifically that is was a MAGA that shot Kirk. which,

      1] it is opinion about Trump and MAGA’s reaction, not making a statement about the shooter themself.

      2] even if he was, it’s opinion based on what he knew

      3] even if it’s wrong, it’s free speech

      4] even if it’s a lie (ie he knows its wrong), that’s still constitutionally protected. Fox News even went to the supreme court to protect their right to lie.

        Even if it were an intentional lie, both Fox News personalities and the administrated were already on record with more serious lies about the same thing. Where are their cancellations?
