So let’s get this straight — a conservative activist is assassinated in cold blood, a late-night TV clown mocks Republicans for reacting to it, and the problem, according to Senator Rand Paul, is… the FCC speaking up?
Really?
Just when you think the GOP has figured out the fight we’re in, here comes Rand Paul channeling his inner libertarian dorm room podcast and reminding us all that, in his world, government neutrality is more sacred than holding anyone — anyone — accountable for slander, sabotage, or selective outrage.
Let’s rewind.
Charlie Kirk, conservative lightning rod and the guy who’s done more to wake up Gen Z from the progressive matrix than half the Republican Senate combined, is shot dead. The country is on edge. The Right is grieving.
And then Jimmy Kimmel — America’s third-favorite smug coastal elitist pretending to be a comedian — takes the moment not to mourn, not to show even a flicker of decency, but to mock the GOP’s reaction to a man’s assassination.
Not satire. Not edgy. Just gross.
Now, here comes FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who finally does something conservatives have been begging for: push back. He floats the idea that maybe — just maybe — if a network platform is actively allowing deranged political speech that incites, denigrates, or encourages violence, there could be consequences.
Not jail. Not censorship. But accountability — in the form of licenses and standards.
And who jumps in to smack that effort down?
Senator Rand “I-wear-constitution-pajamas” Paul.
He says Carr was “absolutely inappropriate.” Inappropriate? That’s a word you use for bad manners at a wedding, not an FCC official reacting to political assassination being turned into punchlines.
Then Paul goes full con law freshman and says, “You don’t have the right to employment.” Oh, thank you for that profound revelation. But no one’s saying Kimmel has a “right” to his show — the question is why he still has one at all.
And just when the momentum was building — ABC pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air (finally) — Carr was starting to get traction. You could feel the Left getting nervous. Free speech warriors and champagne socialists crawling out of their Brooklyn lofts to wail about the “dangerous precedent” of conservatives fighting back.
But instead of leaning in?
Rand Paul jumps up like the hall monitor of the GOP to remind everyone that “government shouldn’t get involved.”
Sen. Paul has really clarified for me the limits of libertarianism.
He opposed Trump’s tariff war with China, arguing that any voluntary trade deal was a fair deal. He condemned the FCC chair’s comments as inappropriate, yet ignored the fact that the Left has spent decades… https://t.co/7hc577wKKX

Buddy, the government’s been involved. For years. Just not on our side.
You think Biden’s DOJ just stumbled into indicting Trump five times by accident? You think left-wing teachers, DEI consultants, and Antifa fanboys haven’t been protected while conservatives get fired for quoting Scripture in a staff meeting?
Spare us.
Idiots like @RandPaul always back up the Dems.

Meanwhile, Trump — yes, President Trump — is one of the few willing to back Carr. On Fox News, he called him a “fantastic patriot.” That’s what leadership sounds like. He understands the game. You can’t win a war with policy papers and polite debates.
The Left uses lawfare like a battering ram. Indict, subpoena, leak, repeat. They’ve got prosecutors, judges, and journalists all running the same playbook. And somehow, we’re still out here debating whether it’s “appropriate” to call out a network for platforming someone who dances on a dead man’s grave?
Erika Kirk is still burying her husband. Charlie Kirk’s team is still grieving. And the cultural response? “Free speech for Kimmel!”
So yeah, forgive conservatives for wondering who’s actually willing to throw a punch in this fight. Because while Rand is busy writing love letters to the First Amendment, the other side is writing obituaries.
We’re not saying throw out the Constitution. We’re saying stop pretending the other side’s playing by it.
And until Republicans learn to stop flinching every time someone yells “censorship,” they’ll keep losing.
No one’s asking for government mind control. But when a man gets murdered for what he believes — and the next day his killers get jokes, while his defenders get silenced — yeah, maybe it’s time to re-think what “inappropriate” really means.
