Desi Lydic is disturbed by the Trump administration’s crackdown on free speech in response to the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
The recurring Daily Show host condemned the idea that people should be punished for posting negatively about Kirk’s death in her Tuesday monologue, showing a clip of Attorney General Pam Bondi declaring, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. ... We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”
