right-wing hate discourse in america and the accessibility to weapons, including sometimes people but at the knight clubs there was a massacre related to this hate. last month, club q in colorado springs. today, at this hearing against the backdrop of the other stuff i showed, well, at this point hearing, survivors from those attack testified. being lgbtq in america in 2022, means looking over your shoulder before you hold hands with someone you love. it means wondering if today is the day hate comes armed with a clench the fist, or worse, an ar-15. my friend was bleeding out, knowing there was little chance to survive. i had to tell him good-bye,
about women and men and everyone else. but why is it different for rush limbaugh and it s not for bill maher? and i know what the argument is going to be. well, bill maher is a comedian. but hasn t it gone too far in our country with comedians being able to hide under that label. you re absolutely right. there s no place for hate discourse whether it s sexism, racism, both of which have been on bill maher s show and on rush limbaugh s show. i m not going to be an apologyist for what bill maher said. however, i think the scale is important. i think following is important and that rush limbaugh has been held up as a leader, within the republican party. here s the difference. i could put on a clown nose and a clown hat and have some balloons and call myself a comedian. i would not be able to get away with it because i m on the right. the left has a double standard. completely disagree. i got to leave it there. you re going to disagree on it but i got to go. andrea and alexis, than
