Let's be very clear here. GoD is espousing anti immigrant, homophobic, anti Muslim rhetoric. She is retweeting Katie Hopkins, RT (Kremlin propaganda) and US far right views. This is more than "free speech", it's about not having fascists spreading fear and hate and enabling the murderous extremists like the one in NZ. Normal decent people tolerate everything except the intolerant.

If you don't like what she says, then don't go. Switch off the channel, just like I do when Paul Murphy, Brid Smith, Richard Boy Barrett or any Newstalk presenter starts inflicting their nonsense on my eardrums.

Gemma is a hateful homophobic transphobic racist anti vax islamophobic bigot who has just aligned herself with some extreme far right fascists and who tries to silence anyone who disagrees with her by legal threats, socisl media blocking and now worst of all nasty vile hateful harassment of people who oppose her views.

It might be because of their own failings or they might just be shít people but they like it when someone else is shítty publicly. It validates their hate. This is Gemma's appeal. She says the shítty things online that they would be afraid to in case someone were to disagree with them which they equate with left-wing totalitarian censorship. This is why they try to defend her online without actually defending her being shítty but instead pretend that they're all about free expression and against censorship. It's clearly impossible to defend the nonsense and hate that she spews and they know it. The problem is that they like the shítty things and feel compelled to defend her. Again, this is why they go down the free-speech and censorship road. Everyone likes free speech and hates censorship, right?
