I agree with Andrew about this. Principled voices shouldn’t be suppressed in this country, regardless whether or not we always agree with them. In her resignation letter, @bariweiss tells some uncomfortable but important truths that most all of us need to hear.

I like Omar; the comment I had a problem with she herself apologized for. I absolutely think she’s principled! I don’t feel the same way about Cotton. I don’t usually agree with Bari Weiss but the idea that people should shut up just because we don’t agree with them is terrible.

Kristof has said some things I don’t agree with, but I can’t deny he says some intelligent fabulous things too. I feel that way about a lot of people. Some things I agree with, some things I don’t (you & I are that way, Jesse!) Cotton however comes from a place I rarely respect.

Yes and no. To me there’s a line, and I felt that in that article he crossed it. Maybe he didn’t, but he suggested it might be reasonable to use the military to quell the protests. But vast majority of protesters have been peaceful!

I don’t understand. So is the point that I shouldn’t have criticized Cotton’s article? He called for the US military to be used against American citizens!
