""the MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.""
""the First Amendment does not protect entertainers who say crass or thoughtless things, as Jimmy Kimmel did in the wake of a national tragedy," and that it is an employer's right "to make that decision.""

Mike Pence distinguished private employment discipline from government censorship, saying the First Amendment does not protect entertainers who make crass or thoughtless remarks and that employers have the right to act. He expressed discomfort with FCC leadership weighing in on personnel decisions. He signaled openness to investigating left-wing groups involved in violent actions during the 2020 protests while explicitly excluding people peacefully exercising First Amendment rights. He emphasized that elected officials must serve country and constituents above the president and indicated a willingness to depart from party norms when they conflict with conservative principles.
