The revelation that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has been indefinitely suspended by ABC has Democrats in an uproar. Free speech is suddenly of the utmost importance to people like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Chris Hayes, Harry Sisson, and of, course, the late-night pontificator himself.
But a trip down memory lane exposes their hypocrisy. Just a couple of years ago, these same four people were reveling in the deplatforming of their political enemies.
Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” has the receipts to prove it.
On September 17, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared on CNN's “OutFront with Erin Burnett” and bemoaned Kimmel’s suspension as anti-democratic.
“This is just despicable, disgusting, and against Democratic values. Trump and his allies seem to want to shut down speech that they don't like to hear. That is not what democracies do. That is what autocracies do,” said the career swamp-dweller. “And it doesn't matter whether you agree with Kimmel or not. He has the right to free speech. … This is what dictators do. This is what Xi [Jinping] would do. This is what Putin would do.”
But just two years earlier, Schumer was more than happy to urge Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson for sharing his opinions.
“Rupert Murdoch, who has admitted they were lies and said he regretted it, has a special obligation to stop Tucker Carlson from going on tonight now that he's seen how he has perverted and slimed the truth. … Not because their views deserve such opprobrium, but because our democracy depends on it,” he said.
“Oh! Our democracy depends on shutting people up except when they’re our people, and then it's unheard of,” mocks Sara.
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes also lamented Kimmel’s suspension. On September 17, the bespectacled ideologue whined about Trump: “ABC made the announcement that Kimmel would indeed be taken off the air indefinitely, and this is just the latest chapter in Donald Trump's ongoing campaign to crack down on free speech, dominate the media, and essentially render the First Amendment meaningless.”
But in 2023, Hayes, like Schumer, celebrated Tucker’s ousting. “So it was for the journeyman cable news host Tucker Carlson just fired from his third network. He believed he could say anything no matter how vile, no matter how disgusting, no matter how offensive, no matter how dehumanizing or belittling, and if you act like a sociopath over and over and over and over, you will become unpopular on the national stage.”
“Yeah, if you immediately spew a bunch of lies and incorrect and false rhetoric about an innocent man who was publicly executed in front of a bunch of college kids, you're probably a sociopath who deserves to be deplatformed,” says Sara.
22-year-old Democrat activist Harry Sisson is fitting right in with his party’s selective outrage. The TikTok soapboxer’s recent X post lamenting Kimmel’s suspension as an attack on free speech starkly contrasts with his 2022 glee over Trump’s Twitter ban.

“We are witnessing the most brazen attack on free speech in modern American history?” asks Sara, quoting Sisson’s recent X post. “I would say that that was when Charlie Kirk got killed for speaking. I would say that that's when Charlie Kirk got a bullet in his neck and died. I would call that the most brazen attack on free speech in modern American history.”
And last but certainly not least, Jimmy Kimmel ironically celebrated Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News.
“Fox News has severed bow ties with Tucker Carlson after all these years. They are parting ways, which means he was fired,” Kimmel smugly chimed.
“He's already on a plane to Moscow to meet with his manager. But what a shock. I mean, what an absolutely delightful shock this is. … Sadly, he's probably not done poisoning old people's brains. The question now is where will he do it next? Will he go to OAN? Will he go to Newsmax? Will he crawl back up Satan's fiery B-hole from whence he came? We don't know. One of the most despicable mothertuckers ever to appear on American television.”
Now, with his own show silenced, Kimmel must be choking on a heaping serving of crow. Turns out deplatforming tastes a lot less funny when it's your punch line that's getting canceled.
“These people are so ghoulish. … They don't care about the First Amendment. They don't care about free speech. These are the same people who were perfectly fine with the Biden regime going in and telling Mark Zuckerberg over at Facebook 'you need to censor these people's posts.'”

TikTok influencer Harry Sisson was adamant in one of his last appearances on Piers Morgan that President Joe Biden would not only make it to the 2024 election — but that he would win it.
“Why don’t we have a little wager? $10,000 to a charity of your choice. I say Biden can’t possibly win, you think he can,” Morgan said, teasing Sisson.
“I personally don’t bet on politics,” Sisson said, though still remaining steadfast in his support for the president.
Just a few weeks after his comments, Sisson watched as his president withdrew himself from the 2024 race via a social media post — and then went back on to discuss what happened with Piers Morgan.
“You were completely wrong,” Morgan said to Sisson. “Not only did Biden not stay in the race, but he certainly won’t be president again. So do you accept you were completely wrong?”
“Yeah, I think I was going off of publicly available information. All of the information available was that Joe Biden was staying in. He consistently told reporters he was staying in. He said ‘I’m the guy’ and then he huddled with advisers in Delaware, saw the data, said it wasn’t looking good, and made the honorable decision to bow out,” Sisson responded.
Morgan wasn’t letting him off that easily.
“It was blatantly obvious to everybody that Biden was done. Especially after the debate. Why would you continue to pretend that he wasn’t?” Morgan asked the young influencer.
Sisson went on to claim that when he met Biden, he was “fantastic” and “sharp” and that his “achievements and policy” mattered more than what the media was saying about him.
“He was falling off stages, he was face planting, tumbling down the steps of Air Force One while falling off bicycles, he was saying all sorts of gobbledygook in a statement, which the White House had to rewind, so how ‘sharp’ was he?” Morgan continued.
Sisson claimed that Biden gave him “in depth” answers to questions.
“I still think Joe Biden is fit to serve, if he were the candidate, I’d still think he’s fit to serve,” Sisson added.
While Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” doesn’t care to “own that little kid” by playing the clip of him — he does want to make a point.
“For all the trickery that the media can do, and they can do an awful lot of trickery, the truth does start coming out. So eventually the media narrative around the momentum of Kamala and the ‘weirdness’ of all of us — that will crumble,” he explains.

While liberals across the country have begun waking up to the realization that Joe Biden is not fit to be president, some are still fast asleep — and it doesn’t appear they’ll be waking up anytime soon.
One of those liberals is famous TikTok influencer Harry Sisson, who appeared on a panel alongside Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
While Rubin and Morgan both agree that President Biden needs to step down in light of his clear mental decline, Sisson appears to have seen an entirely different debate.
“President Biden should be the nominee,” Sisson says definitively, before trying to take a shot at Rubin: “I wonder where Dave got his M.D., where he got his degree to specialize in neurology.”
“And I just find it funny how he’s saying, ‘Oh, we shouldn’t respect Biden and Karine Jean-Pierre, but I’m sure that he’s voting for the convicted felon and the proven sexual abuser, who defamed his victim, and he gives his respect to him every single day,” he continues.
Rubin isn’t having it.
“Hey Harry, do you think that Joe Biden is cognitively able to be president? Yes or no,” he asks the influencer.
“Yes, I do. You can check out the neurology report he had earlier this year in February where it said there was no concern, no cognitive disorder. That’s coming from an actual doctor,” Sisson says proudly.
“We’re making this up. Everything we see every day, the inability to say one complete sentence. We’re all making it up,” Rubin says, shaking his head.
Sisson continues to double down on his delusion even after Morgan shows him a clip of Biden completely out of it and calmly explains the situation we’re in.
“This is a quite dangerous situation I think, where the most powerful man in America right now is not able to function properly at a time when the world feels quite perilous and needs a sharp president of the United States,” Morgan says, asking, “When you watch him, do you feel remotely reassured that he’s completely in charge?”
“Yeah,” Sisson says. “I think that this is all just hyperbole, like this is nonsense. I don’t know why we’re talking about Biden’s mental state when we can just look at his record.”

First lady Jill Biden, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, tested negative on Thursday, according to her communications director, Elizabeth Alexander.
"She's feeling better and is grateful for all the well-wishes," Alexander noted.

Leftist commentator Harry Sisson reacted to the news by thanking medical professionals and the COVID-19 vaccine.
"First Lady Jill Biden has tested NEGATIVE for Covid-19. I'm so glad she made a full recovery so quickly! Thank you to the medical professionals who helped and thank you to the vaccine. This is great news," Sisson wrote in a post on X.
Sisson, who features the word "Democrat" on his X profile, has more than 700,000 followers on TikTok.
He was not the only person celebrating COVID-19 vaccines in response to the news about the first lady.
"Thank goodness for vaccines," leftist figure Victor Shi wrote in a post about the first lady testing negative. "Hope everyone stays healthy & gets boosted."

The first lady's communications director had announced in a statement on Monday that Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 that evening and had mild symptoms. President Joe Biden has been testing negative this week.
Many prominent figures have tested positive for COVID-19 despite getting multiple vaccine jabs.
Last year, Alexander noted in a statement that "double-vaccinated, twice boosted" Jill Biden had tested positive for COVID-19 and had mild symptoms.
Updated COVID-19 vaccine boosters are expected to be green-lighted soon.
The CDC has claimed that "mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in preventing the most severe outcomes from a COVID-19 infection."

Democrats have rushed to brand a Wednesday shooting involving ICE as “murder” and “state sanctioned execution.” After months of attacks against ICE agents, such rhetoric only serves one purpose: to justify more vigilante violence.
