      I don’t remember that. I never remember them being anything but poisonous.

      They were always trying to “joke” their way into the front page, but their intention was always to crowd out opposing opinions.

      Bad actors always use “free speech” and “tolerance” against their opponents to gain a foothold, and then use that foothold to leverage a pogrom.

      Over and over again.
