    Trump has called for the firing of reporter a few weeks ago and a boycott of various companies and media sources throughout his presidency.

    Looks like Trump is trying to kill free speech?

    Just playing the left at their own game.

    No, it only looks like you are avoiding the elephant in the room
    Again, cancel culture can no longer been ignored as a major player in controlling freedom of speech. It's slowly making people afraid of saying anything anti-woke that may result in excommunication from social media
    Thank god, trump is still immune

    You wouldn't have had to look them up if I was wrong as you would already know all about them ;)

    One was from 2014, the other was 2018. It's more a case of gaffes or inappropriate remarks etc being far and few between. Trump's are daily. So rather different.

    Nonsense, if Trump called immigrants gangbangers and joked that all blacks look alike, we'd still be hearing about it on a daily basis.

    In the ufc this weekend its Colby Covington vs Tyrone Woodley

    Covington is a huge Trump supporter, wears the maga hat everywhere, Trump junior attends his fights.

    Woodley is a black fighter and vocal BLM supporter.

    At the press conference Woodley wore a BLM t shirt and "make racists eat the fade again "
    Every question he was asked he answered with "black lives matter " and then walked off.

    Covington talked about winning and celebrating with Trump.

    Covington also referred to Woodley as a domestic terrorist sympathiser recently.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    That's correct.

    Covington comfortably won the fight in the end. 5th round stoppage after dominating throughout.

    I don’t know. My comment on Covington was meant to portray the fact that there appears to be a concerted effort by people to portray BLM or anyone supporting the movement as ‘terrorists or terrorist sympathisers’, instead of recognising the fact that the movement is borne out of the systemic racism still inherent in much of society today.

    It's just certain posters who have been outraged by BLM who would prefer to ignore the cause.

    I wouldn't call in a concerted effort. Covington has been using the extreme maga supporter gimmick for a long time now to build hype and notoriety. It all got a little too real leading up to this particular fight and he abandoned the usual trash talk. He said in the pre fight press conference that there is no race inside the cage. Just two men competing.

    Classy move from Trump. You could see how much it meant to Covington too. His eyes lit up.

    Politically astute too. Millions of viewers watching and the president calls in live to congratulate a fighter. Was respectful to Woodley also.

    Would career politician Biden do similar? Unlikely

    What with coronavirus after killing 200 THOUSAND Americans, Biden may have have had bigger priorities.

    In fairness, his stand out is celebrating the newly opened supreme court position. So classy. Would Biden do that?

    In fairness Covington has been out supporting Trump for years now. It isnt pushed by the UFC. Dana white is a Trump supporter too and made a political speech previously.

    Colby Covington:

    He took the number and called a child who suffers with a stutter, I would call that classy. Trump called Covington BECAUSE he knew millions were watching, thats not classy thats crass.

    Covington has met Trump numerous times and even been to the white house. Trump has attended some of his fights. If you know you know

    To be fair, Me and Pete don't agree on much when it comes to politics but he has been pretty consistent in calling Trump out on some things when he feels the need to.
