They're just going pull the "random leftists have individually boycotted people and media they don't agree with" (except they will call it cancel culture) card and do a false equivalency to people being removed for not being in line with the state.
The left wing is the free speech crowd. The right wing has never had a principled belief in free speech. It was always their intention to turn cancel culture back at their enemies when the opportunity arose. I'm still reeling that it was supposed liberals that came up with "freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences" or "hate speech is not free speech" which are now being used against them. And they have learned absolutely nothing, and fully intend to go back to cancelling people for asinine reasons when they can.
"The left wing is the free speech crowd. " You cannot be serious with the number of times they have actively cancelled just a speaker talking.
The left has a principled interest in free speech, which they've regularly abandoned. The right has used free speech rhetoric at times, but has no attachment to it as a principle.
